Polymeric membranes added with zinc oxide nanoparticles for agricultural applications
摘要
Nowadays, the agricultural sector faces multiple challenges that are considered critical, such as climate change, water scarcity, soil degradation, diseases, and increasing pest resistance. Nanotechnology emerges as a promising solution to address these issues. The incorporation of zinc oxide nanoparticles into polycaprolactone polymer membranes represents a significant advancement in the application of advanced technologies for agriculture. Due to their nanoscale size and unique properties, these nanoparticles can enhance efficiency and sustainability of agricultural systems. The membranes were fabricated using the electrospinning technique, while the nanoparticles were synthesized through a green method utilizing Coriandrum sativum extracts, ensuring a sustainable approach for their production.
