A series of novel Zinc Oxide (ZnO) copolymer composites films with different Zinc Oxide concentration were prepared through incorporation of pre-made Zinc Oxide particle in to copolymer epoxy poly(dimethyl acrylamide). The copolymer epoxy poly(dimethyl acrylamide) was synthesized by free radical polymerization to disperse the Zinc Oxide nanoparticles. The Zinc Oxide nanoparticles with the diameter of 19 nm–35 nm were synthesized from zinc nitrate via a wet chemical method. The aim of the work is to develop a new method/process/material for the dispersion of Zinc Oxide nanoparticles and testing the performance of these composites films. Thermo gravimetric analysis show that Zinc Oxide nanoparticles were successfully incorporated into the polymer matrix and the Zinc Oxide copolymer composites have a good thermal stability. The micro structural analysis also show newly synthesized polymer disperse the nanoparticles well as evidenced by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analysis. The uniformly dispersed Zinc Oxide nanoparticle in the polymer matrix and the particles almost remained in their original shape and size even after incorporation in the polymer matrix. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) shift of the copolymer adsorbed Zinc Oxide nanoparticles confirmed that polymer molecules chain was anchored on the surface of the nanoparticles.

Zinc oxide nanoparticles were obtained directly, avoiding the calcination step, by precipitation at 70°C in bicontinuous microemulsions stabilized with a mixture of surfactants sodium bis (2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate/sodium dodecyl sulfate (2/1, wt./wt.) containing 0.7 M zinc nitrate aqueous solution. Two concentrations of aqueous solution of precipitating agent sodium hydroxide were used under different dosing times on microemulsion. Characterization by X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy allowed us to identify particles with an acicular rod-like morphology and a hexagonalwurtzitecrystal structure as small as 8.5 and 30 nm in average diameter and length, respectively. Productivities much higher than those typical in the preparation of zinc oxide nanoparticles via reverse microemulsions were obtained. Particle size was the same at the two studied sodium hydroxide concentrations, while it increases as dosing time of the precipitant agent increases. It is believed that the surfactant film on the microemulsion channels restricts the particle diameter growth.

In the present work, the precipitation method was applied to prepare zinc oxide nanoparticles in the presence of zinc nitrate and potassium hydroxide as precursor solutions. The influence of annealing temperature on the properties such as structural and morphological of zinc oxide nanoparticles were performed by X-ray diffraction technique, field-emission scanning electron microscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy. The effects of annealing temperature on the crystallite size of zinc oxide nanoparticles have investigated. The XRD results represented that the zinc oxide nanoparticles exhibits high crystallinity of hexagonal wurtzite crystal structure. The average crystallite size of nanoparticles increased from 18 to 31 nm when the annealing temperature had increased. The morphology images show that the nanoparticles in this work were spherical in shape. Raman and FT-IR spectra confirm that the quality of Zn-O vibrational mode is stronger at higher annealing temperature.

AbstractZinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) were hydrothermally fabricated, using hydroalcoholic clove extract. GC-MS analysis demonstrated that Eugenol is the main bioactive compound of the prepared extract. Experiments were designed, based on the central composite design. The effects of different amounts of zinc nitrate (2–6 g) and clove extract (10–30 mL) were evaluated for antioxidant and bactericidal properties of the formed ZnO NPs using the response surface methodology. The attained results demonstrated that more desirable NPs with maximum antioxidant activity (85.23%) and bactericidal effect, against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, as manifested in the diameter of formed clear zones of 11.12 and 12.11 mm, respectively, were resulted using 3.98 g of the zinc salt and 20.30 mL of the clove extract. Furthermore, XRD and SEM analysis results revealed that the fabricated ZnO NPs had a hexagonal shape with a particle size of 50 nm and could degrade 70% of methylene blue during UV radiation.

Nanotechnology is an emerging interdisciplinary technology that has been booming in many areas during the recent decade. The application of nanoscale materials and structures, usually ranging from 1 to 100 nanometers (nm), is an emerging area of nanoscience and nanotechnology. In this work, Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles were prepared by wet chemical method using zinc nitrate and sodium hydroxide as precursors and Nypa fruticans (Nipa) starch as stabilizing agent. The antimicrobial property was found effective against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria. It has a clear zone of inhibition against S. aureus and   E. coli.  The scanning electron micrograph exhibited that after several washings the cloth facemask coated with nipa starch and zinc oxide still adheres to the cloth.

Stable zinc oxide nanoparticles were synthesized by using green approach of nanotechnology. The present investigation aimed to synthesize, stable, cost effective, rapid, eco-friendly approach for the bio-reduction of zinc nitrate hexahydarate to their nano size using phytochemicals present in the root extract of Viola canescens. The synthesized nanoparticles were further characterized by UV-visible, XRD, FTIR, SEM techniques and tested against the Gram-negative and Gram-positive pathogenic cultures of bacteria. The average size of synthesized nanoparticles was less than 11 nm with hexagonal morphology. The clear zone of inhibition against tested bacteria showed their capability as antimicrobial agent.
