Abstract
Nanotechnology has witnessed remarkable advancements in recent years, capturing considerable attention in diverse biomedical applications. Using the green precipitation method, this study aims to synthesize and characterize chitosan/polyvinyl alcohol-copper oxide nanocomposites (CS/PVA/CuONCs) using Anacardium occidentale plant fruit extract. The CS/PVA/CuONCs were further evaluated in antioxidant, antibacterial and biological activities. In our study results, UV-Vis spectrum analysis of CS/PVA/CuONCs revealed a peak at 430 nm. FTIR analyses confirmed the presence of different functional groups, while the XRD study confirmed the crystalline structure of the synthesized nanocomposites. FESEM-EDAX analysis…
