Functional finishing of textiles has been in great demand since the last two decades in domestic and industrial applications. Mosquito repellent textiles are one of the most demanded functional finished textiles in the current market. The investigation of this research is to study the combined effect of fragrance and mosquito repellant property on cotton fabric by using Lavender and Citronella essential oil by means of nano encapsulation.

This review focuses on “ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), a high-performance polymer used in medical and industrial applications. UHMWPE shows high-performance characteristics such as high mechanical strength, excellent wear resistance, and biocompatibility. In the case of industrial applications, UHMWPE is specifically used in automotive, marine, and mining. In contrast, in the case of aerospace applications, it is used for parts like gears, bearings, ropes, cables, and conveyor belts owing to its low coefficient of friction, superior wear resistance, and high impact strength.

This paper describes the use of the bioreduction process to synthesize silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). The aqueous extract of Tabernaemontana divaricta (pinwheel flower) and silver nitrate, which serve as a reducing agent and precursor salt, respectively,have been used in the synthesis of AgNPs. Using scanning electron microscopy and UV-visible spectroscopy, synthesized AgNPs have been characterized.The optical characteristics of AgNPs were assessed using UV-visible spectroscopy by means of the Surface Plasmon resonance (SPR) peak.
