Metal oxide nanoparticles synthesized by the biological method represent the most recent research in nanotechnology. This study reports the rapid and ecofriendly approach for the synthesis of CeO₂ nanoparticles mediated using the Abelmoschus esculentus extract. The medicinal plant extract acts as both a reducing and stabilizing agent. The characterization of CeO₂ NPs was performed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The in vitro cytotoxicity of green synthesized CeO₂ was assessed against cervical cancerous cells (HeLa). The exposure of CeO₂ to HeLa cells at 10–125 µg/mL caused a loss in cellular viability against cervical cancerous cells in a dose-dependent manner. The antibacterial activity of the CeO₂ was assessed against S. aureus and K. pneumonia. A significant improvement in wound-healing progression was observed when cerium oxide nanoparticles were incorporated into the chitosan hydrogel membrane as a wound dressing.

The purpose of this study was to see how silane treatment affected the tensile and impact strength of composites constructed from jute/kenaf/glass fibers with a nano-graphene filler and to investigate the impact of major treatment factors, such as silane concentration, immersion duration, and nano-filler, on composite characteristics. To conduct systematic trials and improve these variables, the Response Surface Methodology (RSM) with central composite designs was used. To precisely forecast the tensile and impact strength of the nano-composite following silane treatment, quadratic models were built. By changing the silane concentration, immersion period, and nano-filler, they discovered ideal conditions for increasing tensile strength. The best ranges for silane concentration and immersion duration were discovered to be 15 wt. % and 30 min, respectively. Given the conditions, the composite impact strength increased by 51% and its tensile strength improved by 22% as compared to the values achieved from RSM optimization. These results highlight the practical importance of silane treatment, especially in improving tensile and impact strength and strengthening the interfacial adhesive characteristics of organic fibers and polymer matrices.
