Enhancing dispersion stability of nano zinc oxide with rhamnolipids and evaluating antibacterial activity against harmful corn fungi

ObjectiveZinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) have strong antifungal activity against major harmful fungi in corn kernels. However, due to the high surface energy prone to agglomeration, the residual synthetic surfactants from conventional chemical synthesis may trigger cytotoxicity, whereas rhamnolipi...
