Abstract: Nanotechnology is a rising field of science and technology that deals with the particles having size in the range of 1 to 100 nm. Copper oxide nanoparticles has many properties like antifungal activity, antibacterial activity, optical properties, conductive properties, etc. Due to its demand of diversified use, copper oxide nanoparticles were fabricated using ecofriendly and non-toxic Annona muricata stem extract. The extract with copper sulphate pentahydrate showed gradual change in the colour of the extract from brown to green which indicates the CuO nanoparticles synthesis. The fabrication is followed by characterization of CuO nanoparticles using UV-vis spectroscope, FTIR, XRD and SEM. The characterization showed roughly spherical shaped nanoparticles in the range of 100nm with high crystalline monoclinic phase. FTIR absorption spectra conclude that the compounds attached with copper oxide nanoparticles could be polyphenols with aromatic ring. The CuO nanoparticles exhibited antibacterial activity; it showed the maximum activity against E.coli (18 mm). Keywords: Annona muricata, copper sulphate pentahydrate, FTIR, nanomaterials, SEM, XRD.

Nanotechnology presents a tremendous opportunity to boost the field of wood preservation through implementing modern and unique metal biocides with improved properties. Nano form of Copper oxide, Zinc oxide and Copper sulphate were made by mechanical milling in the high energy planetary ball mill with 450 rpm for 12 hours. Among the three tested nanobiocides Copper sulphate at 0.5% concentration provided protection to the plywood against wood destroying organisms without sacrificing the bond quality of plywood. This is the first report to develop and test the efficacy of nanobiocide against wood destroying organism in India.

Carbon based adsorbent materials are prepared from sucrose using copper as hard pore template. The adsorbent materials were obtained by heating mixtures of sucrose and copper sulphate at temperatures in the range of 200 to 1000 °C for polymerization and carbonization followed by removal of copper template by leaching with dilute nitric acid. The copper templates were produced by the carbothermal reduction of copper oxide obtained by the decomposition of copper sulphate. The surface area and porosity measurements showed the presence of micropores in the carbon samples. The micropores are generated both by an in situ activation and carbothermal reduction of the copper oxide. The microporous carbon showed good CO2 adsorption characteristics.
