Surface Functionalization of Bamboo with Silver-Reduced Graphene Oxide Nanosheets to Improve Hydrophobicity and Mold Resistance

A natural polyphenolic compound was used to assemble nanocomposites. Owing its stable bioactive properties, bamboo has earned significant attention in material science. Its high nutrient content and hydrophilicity makes more vulnerable mold attacks shortened shelf lives. To produce efficient, multipurpose, long-life products, a novel technique involving an immersion dry hydrothermal process applied impregnate the with polyphenol-assisted silver-reduced graphene oxide nanosheets. Curcumin (Cur), polyphenol found rhizome of Curcuma longa, preparation curcumin-enhanced nanosheets (Cur-AgrGONSs). The nanocomposites nanocomposite-impregnated materials were examined by field emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. At same time, phytopathogen isolated from infected products identified internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences. effectively inhibited growth fungus. resistance moisture both treated untreated timbers also determine efficiency prepared nanocomposite. antifungal activity hydrophobicity significantly enhanced after incorporation curcumin-enriched silver-loaded reduced (B@Cur-AgrGONSs). This research outcome confirms that nanocomposite is well-organized antimicrobial for different advanced domains.
