Synergism of zinc oxide nano-powder with active compound from turmeric and lemongrass as bacterial inhibitor

Green nanoparticles are receiving great attention due to their broad fields of application. Plant extracts are promising sources, since the synergizing process is easy and cost-effective. Green synergism offers safer nanomaterials for both human health and the environment. The antimicrobial applicat...
