“…This may help to prevent biofilm formation, and thereby act as an antimicrobial agent, which can be of great importance for a variety of biomedical applications [7]. Furthermore, a number of ZnO-based nanostructures have been extensively studied for their antibacterial efficacy against different types of microorganisms, including bacteria [8,9]. Additionally, the size, shape and morphology of ZnO nanostructures significantly relies on the synthesis methods employed therein [5].…”

The ability and potency of bacterial species to form biofilms, which show antibiotic resistance thereby avoiding antibiotic surfaces, is a major cause of prolonged infections. Various advanced approaches have been employed to prevent or damage bacterial biofilms, formed by a variety of bacterial strains, to help prevent the associated infectious disease. In this context, zinc-based nanostructures have been recognized as a potential antibiotic agent against a broad spectrum of bacterial communities. As a result, a sustainable and green synthesis method was adapted in the present study to synthesize a Zn(OH)2/ZnO-based bionanocomposite, in which aqueous extracts of waste pomegranate peels (Punica granatum) were employed as a natural bioreducing agent to prepare the bionanocomposite at room temperature. Furthermore, FT-IR, XRD, DLS, UV-Visible, PL spectroscopy, FE-SEM, and TEM were used to characterize the green route synthesized a Zn(OH)2/ZnO bionanocomposite. The average crystallite size was determined using the Scherrer relation to be 38 nm, and the DLS results indicated that the Zn(OH)2/ZnO bionanocomposite had a hydrodynamic size of 170 nm. On the other hand, optical properties investigated through UV-Vis and PL spectroscopy explored the energy bandgap between 2.80 and 4.46 eV, corresponding to the three absorption edges, and it covered the blue spectrum when the sample was excited at 370 nm. Furthermore, the impact of this green route synthesized a Zn(OH)2/ZnO bionanocomposite on the biofilm degradation efficiency of the pathogenic bacterial strain Bacillus subtilis PF_1 using the Congored method was investigated. The Congored assay clearly explored the biofilm degradation efficiency in the presence of a 50 mg/mL and 75 mg/mL concentration of the Zn(OH)2/ZnO bionanocomposite against the bacterial strain Bacillus subtilis PF_1 grown for 24 h. This study can be further applied to the preparation of bionanocomposites following a low-cost green synthesis approach, and thus prepared nanostructures can be exploited as advanced antimicrobial agents, which could be of great interest to prevent various infectious diseases.

“…Furthermore, nanotechnology can also address menstrual health and hygiene challenges [ 162 ]. In many parts of the world, lack of access to affordable and hygienic [ 163 , 164 ] menstrual products hinders young girls' education and women's participation in society. Nanofiber-based materials can be used to develop highly absorbent and biodegradable sanitary pads [ 165 ] that are more comfortable and environmentally friendly than traditional options.…”

“…72 For example, ZnO tetrapods (ZnO-T) have been put to use in a number of biological contexts because they are biocompatible, nontoxic, and harmless to normal cells. 73 The synthesis of nano-ZnO was described by Bhall et al 74 using a surfactant-polyol assembly as a caging agent to keep the ZnO crystallite size down to nano-regime proportions. The surfactant-polyol-assembly acts as the agent for improving the biocompatibility of ZnO structures.…”
