Synthesis and Characterization of Carbon Nanofibres from Luffa Fibres (Luffa cylindrica)

Abstract

Nowadays, with increase in the awareness towards green chemistry, leads to the synthesis of nanomaterials using a simple green cheap and eco-friendly technique. Natural or nature-based sources act as a versatile basis for the synthesis of nanomaterials. In this paper carbon nanofibres have been synthesized from Luffa cylindrica. The obtained materials were characterized with optical microscopy studies, Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Higher Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HR-TEM), Selected Area Electron Diffraction (SAED). The compound also shows prolonged antimicrobial efficacy and is found to be effective against microbes isolated from epidermal region of the skin.
