Recent Advances in Nano-Enabled Fertilizers towards Sustainable Agriculture and Environment: A Mini Review
Food creation be directed expand uniquely to take care of the developing human populace; however, this should be accomplished while at the same time decreasing unfriendly natural effects. In such manner, there is expanding interest in the utilization of nanomaterials as composts for further developing plant mineral sustenances that are crippling Indian agriculture. To address these problems, there is a need to explore one of the frontier technologies like nano-technology to precisely detect and deliver correct quantity of nutrients that promote the productivity. Nano-technology uses synthesized materials that are 10–9 nm in size to improve the productivity, yield and crop quality. Research has proved beyond doubt that the nano-fertilizers that contain readily available nutrients in nano-scale have increased uptake, absorption and improved bioavailability in the plant body compared to the conventional bulk equivalents. This audit assesses the current writing on ENMs utilized as pesticides and manures, and features basic information holes that should be addressed to guarantee maintainable use of nanotechnology in horticulture to accomplish worldwide food security. Designing nanoparticles-based nanofertilizers offer advantages in crop nourishment of the board by upgrading abiotic stress resilience and improving farming efficiency towards the advancement of brilliant and supportable future horticulture.

A Concise Review on Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) and Their Mechanical Significance Including Industrial Applications
Excellent characteristics of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) include light weight, high strength, high modulus, and high temperature resistance. CFRP has a wide range of potential applications in the domains of public safety, aviation, and high-end non-military people products. Different methods have been used to modify the CFRP in order to increase surface action, harshness, and wettability, improving the interfacial binding between the fiber and network for better mechanical properties. Finally, a few CFRP-related difficulties are looked at, and future directions in interfacial support research are predicted. In this day and age, innovation-focused applications are becoming more significant, and the use of mechanical cycles is progressing swiftly and steadily. Due to their exceptional performance, such as low weight, high specific strength, and high specific stiffness, carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites have a wide application viewpoint in the aerospace, military, and wind power sector high-quality civilian products. Currently, there is still a significant discrepancy between the theoretical calculation of the CFRP and the actual force. Improving the interface rationally is the key to solving this fundamental issue. The development, properties, and contemporary applications of CFRP composite materials, as well as their processing and boring activities, are discussed in this overview along with recent innovations and potential future applications.
