Biodegradability of Nanoparticle Modified Fiber Reinforced Polyester Resin Nanocomposite

Copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) have been synthesized under chemical reduction and in aqueous medium where polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) played a role as a stabilizer. From Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images analysis, calculated average size of the synthesized CuNPs was 3.5 nm. The synthesized CuN...
