Long-term exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light can degrade and discolor bamboo; thus, coatings to protect it from UV exposure are required, especially for outdoor use. Benzotriazole (BTZ) and zinc oxide nanoparticles (NZnO) are organic and inorganic UV absorbers commonly used in UV shielding coatings. This study investigated the photostabilizing efficiency of acrylic-based bamboo exterior coatings using a combination of BTZ and NZnO. Different film formulations covering bamboo substrates were irradiated with artificial UV light for 500 h to accelerate aging. The UV-shielding effect on bamboo beneath various films was determined by CIELAB color space and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis. The film effectiveness was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy, wettability, UV-vis spectroscopy, and FTIR-attenuated total reflection (ATR) spectroscopy. Films containing BTZ provided higher resistance to photodegradation and more effectively inhibited photodiscoloration of the bamboo substrates than those prepared solely with NZnO. After 500 h of UV irradiation, the BTZ–NZnO film containing 2 wt % BTZ and 1 wt % NZnO showed the best coating performance. Strong synergistic effects were detected in the BTZ–NZnO coatings, particularly for the 2:1 ratio formulation. This study also demonstrated the potential of combining BTZ and NZnO as additives for developing stable, effective UV-shielding bamboo exterior coatings for outdoor applications.

This study which designed to evaluate the inhibitory effect of Ethanolic extract of (Quercusrobur) and Zinc oxide nanoparticles on the growth of one genus of enterobacteriacae (Salmonella). In vitro. For this purpose graduate concentrates for plant extract (50, 100, 200, 400 )mg/ml which prepared and compared with Zinc oxide nanoparticles of different concentration (2, 1, 0.5, 0.25) μg/ml,and examined. The result showed that the studied medicinal plant has antibacterial activity against this bacteria which used. The result showed that the plant has good activity in decrease the growth of this bacteria. The results of the study also showed that the nano-ZnO has very effective antibacterial action against the studied bacteria which was Salmonella,nanoparticles concentrations lead to increasing in the inhibition zones of tested bacterial growth. We also study the effect of three antibiotics Lomefloxacin (LOM), Ciprofloxacin (SIP) and Rifampin (RA) and the result showed,in a comparison within the tested bacteria,Salmonella had a significant inhibition increase in Lomefloxacin ; the ciprofloxacin showed effect on tested bacteria. However,Rifampin does not show any effect on tested bacteria.
