Abstract
Granules of a chitosan–titanium dioxide composite material with different concentrations of titanium dioxide nanoparticles for agricultural use are obtained. The average diameter of the granules is 35 mm. It is shown that varying the concentration of titanium dioxide nanoparticles in the composite material within the studied limits does not affect the structure of its surface. Experiments are carried out in situ on the seeds of cucumber (Cucumis sativus). It is noted that, during the first three weeks, the composite material has an inhibitory effect on plant growth, and then, after the onset of dissolution of the granules, it has a growth-stimulating effect. The best growth rates are observed when two granules of a composite material with a ratio of chitosan to titanium dioxide of 3 to 1 are added to the soil. It is concluded that the obtained granules of a chitosan–titanium dioxide composite material can have a positive effect on the processes of plant growth and formation.
期刊介绍:
Inorganic Materials: Applied Research contains translations of research articles devoted to applied aspects of inorganic materials. Best articles are selected from four Russian periodicals: Materialovedenie, Perspektivnye Materialy, Fizika i Khimiya Obrabotki Materialov, and Voprosy Materialovedeniya and translated into English. The journal reports recent achievements in materials science: physical and chemical bases of materials science; effects of synergism in composite materials; computer simulations; creation of new materials (including carbon-based materials and ceramics, semiconductors, superconductors, composite materials, polymers, materials for nuclear engineering, materials for aircraft and space engineering, materials for quantum electronics, materials for electronics and optoelectronics, materials for nuclear and thermonuclear power engineering, radiation-hardened materials, materials for use in medicine, etc.); analytical techniques; structure–property relationships; nanostructures and nanotechnologies; advanced technologies; use of hydrogen in structural materials; and economic and environmental issues. The journal also considers engineering issues of materials processing with plasma, high-gradient crystallization, laser technology, and ultrasonic technology. Currently the journal does not accept direct submissions, but submissions to one of the source journals is possible.
