Synthesis and Characterization of ZnO-Nanocomposites by Utilizing Aloe Vera Leaf Gel and Extract of Terminalia arjuna Nuts and Exploring Their Antibacterial Potency

Nanotechnology has found vast applications in everyday life. Use of plant extract in the synthesis of nanocomposites produces relatively less toxic and environment-friendly materials. The present study deals with the synthesis of zinc oxide nanocomposite using gel from leaves of Aloe vera (black Alo...
