The functionalized MWCNT solution with a concentration of 50 g/ml ensures faster growth of mustard seeds. The functionalized MWCNT was able to penetrate the seed coat by creating new pores to increase water uptake. -Walled Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNT) is one of the nanomaterials that has become a new interest for many scientists to be applied in agricultural applications as biosensor, fertilizer, catalyst and adsorbent of pesticides [3-11].
Respon for Reviewer
10 rewrite in a better grammar At these temperatures, the source will split into more carbon atoms, a process that causes increasing diffusion of carbons on the surface of the catalyst metal [20]. This result shows that the functionalization process of MWCNTs has been able to help the dispersion process in water because there is a carboxyl group on the surface of MWCNTs which will increase the surface energy and reduce chemical affinity with dispersing media [39 ]. 17 add several explanations why the higher concentration of MWCNT reduces the growth of the seeds.
One of the easier methods to make MWCNT by adjusting its diameter is the spray pyrolysis method. Based on this research, we will get the certain characteristic of MWCNT, especially dimension and composition of the functionalized MWCNT for increasing growth of mustard plants. 5 you are not explaining the reflux process here while in the discussion you are explaining that there is a process to clean CNT with reflux.
8 I don't see any references you quoted in this paragraph, and on the other hand you put the. You have obtained a CNT as a result of the synthesis, but this does not mean that you can explain the mechanism that occurs unless it is based on an analysis of the process. 13 Figure 8 should be replaced or tabled so that changes in the composition of atoms before and after the reflux process become apparent.
The small peak at 37.4 in the MWCNTs prior to functionality suggests the presence of Fe3C in the sample. The metal carbide acts as an active catalyst in the formation of graphitic carbon tubular structures and indicates the impurity of the sample [35]. The study found that there were differences in the two FTIR spectra, both in wave number position and transmission value.
Wavenumbers of 2,350 cm-1 are characteristic of the C=C group due to the integrity of the MWCNT hexagonal structure. In the case of functionalized MWCNTs, the characteristic O-H band appeared significantly broader and with higher intensity. This higher intensity is attributed to the increase in the number of hydroxyl groups on the MWCNT surface after functionalization.
