This work presents the effect of gamma irradiation on the physicochemical, mechanical, thermal and antibacterial properties of HPMC/ZnO bionanocomposite (BNC) films exposed to a Cobalt – 60 gamma source of average energy 1.25 MeV for various (0-250 kGy) doses. X-ray diffraction (XRD) study revealed that the crystallite size ( L XRD in Å) and crystallinity of the nanocomposites significantly increased up to 100 kGy, then decreased as the radiation dose increased. At lower dosage nanocomposites showed improved Young’s modulus and load capacity, and at higher dosage, the decrease in tensile strength ( TS ) and percentage elongation at break ( E ), suggesting degradation process in the HPMC matrix. Contact angle (CA) studies demonstrated HPMC/ZnO nanocomposites are more hydrophilic after gamma irradiation. The antibacterial activity of HPMC/ZnO nanocomposite films were effective even after gamma irradiation, making it suitable for food and pharmaceutical packaging applications
In crystals, the duplication of atoms often follows different periodicity along different directions. It thus gives rise to the so called anisotropy, which is usually even more pronounced in two dimensional (2D) mater...

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), a unique and promising natural material extracted from native cellulose, have attracted considerable attention owing to their physical properties and special surface chemistry. This review focuses on chemical conjugation strategies that can be used for preparation of ?uorescent-molecule labeled CNCs and the development of biomaterials. Furthermore, their application in the detection of metal ions and future development prospects are discussed. We hope to provide a clear view of the strategies for surface fluorescent modifcation of CNCs and their application in detection of metal ions.
