In the 21st century, sustainable agriculture is expected to become a major contributor food security and improved nutrition. Amine–epoxide-based materials have great potential for use in due their tunable physicochemical features, which are dependent on concentration composition of monomers. this work, catalyst-free green synthesis, using only water as solvent, was performed obtain nanocarrier (TGel) capable transporting nutrients after seed priming. The synthesis based opening epoxy ring by nucleophile attack, an amine-terminated polyether. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) dynamic light scattering (DLS) techniques showed spherical morphology particles, ranged size from 80 nm (unloaded TGel) 360 (zinc-loaded TGel), respectively. Theoretical bonding analysis revealed that Zn cation species ZnSO4 source interact with polymer via σ-bonds, whereas EDTA forms hydrogen bonds polymer, thereby enhancing noncovalent interactions. Micro X-ray fluorescence (μ-XRF) energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDXRF) provided details distributions compartments shoots cucumber plants priming plant growth, Zn-loaded TGels did not affect physiology plants, indicated photosynthetic efficacy, chlorophyll, anthocyanin indices.
