A composite material based on zinc oxide nanoparticles synthesized by the chemical hydrothermal method and a polymer insulated matrix of sodium silicate was obtained. Free zinc oxide nanoparticles were formed by heating an equimolar solution of zinc nitrate and hexamethylenetetramine with different pH values (3–5). Nanoparticles were introduced into an aqueous sodium silicate solution and applied on a silicon substrate by centrifugation. Using scanning electron microscopy, we studied the structure and morphology of zinc oxide nanoparticles on a silicon substrate in unbound state and after their introduction into the sodium silicate matrix. It was found that the obtained particles have a hexagonal crystal lattice and a bimodal size distribution. After introduction in the matrix of sodium silicate, only smaller zinc oxide nanoparticles with an average diameter of 45 nm remain in it. Studying of the photoluminesclence spectra of a composite material, including zinc oxide nanoparticles obtained at different pH values of the initial solution, showed the presence of exciton and defectrelated photoluminescence bands with intensity’s maximums located at 383 and 590 nm, respectively. Zinc oxide nanoparticles in the stabilizing matrix of sodium silicate exhibit a higher relative intensity of exciton photoluminescence than unbound particles. The highest value of the relative intensity of exciton photoluminescence was achieved for a composite material including zinc oxide nanoparticles synthesized at pH=3,35 of the initial solution. The resulting composite materials can be used in optoelectronic and photovoltaic devices, and as an optical medium of non-cavity lasers.

The present study a comprehensive analysis of the antibacterial properties of a composite material based on borosiloxane and zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs). The effect of the polymer matrix and ZnO NPs on the generation of reactive oxygen species, hydroxyl radicals, and long-lived oxidized forms of biomolecules has been studied. All variants of the composites significantly inhibited the division of E. coli bacteria and caused them to detach from the substrate. It was revealed that the surfaces of a composite material based on borosiloxane and ZnO NPs do not inhibit the growth and division of mammalians cells. It is shown in the work that the positive effect of the incorporation of ZnO NPs into borosiloxane can reach 100% or more, provided that the viscoelastic properties of borosiloxane with nanoparticles are retained.

The article presents the results of a study of the anti-corrosion properties of composite materials based on epoxy resin modified with a mixture of AGM-9 and TGM-3 in a ratio of 1:3 and treated with zinc oxide nanoparticles. It is established that the coating of metals with epoxy oligomers and zinc nanoparticles significantly increases their resistance to corrosion. After holding in a 3.5% NaCl solution for 90 days, the hardness of metals without coating decreases by 22%, modified with AGM-9 and TGM-3 composites - by 11%, and modified with epoxy oligomers in combination with zinc nanoparticles-by only 3 %.

The synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles, confined in a matrix of silicon dioxide from pure zinc and silicon targets, on a p-type silicon substrate was carried out. The technique of reactive cathodic erosion assisted by radio frequency without heat treatment after the deposit of the materials was used. The morphological, chemical, physical and electrical characterization of the structures obtained was carried out. It was possible to obtain a layer of SiO2 with roughness in the range of nanometers, on silicon substrates, controlling the partial pressure of oxygen during the process of cathodic erosion. The basins, typical of the roughness of the material obtained, served to house the metallic Zn, promoting its nucleation and its partial oxidation in a space reduced to the scale of nanometers. Subsequently, the complete oxidation of Zn and its confinement was achieved by depositing another layer of SiO2, obtaining samples with the structure: the p-type silicon substrate, a thin-roughness film of silicon oxide, n-type zinc oxide nanoparticles and finally a second layer of silicon oxide which completed the matrix; SiO2/n-ZnONP/SiO2/p-Sisustrate. First, the surface morphology of the samples is analyzed by atomic force, scanning and transmission microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and UV-visible light spectroscopy. The silicon dioxide composition of the first deposited layer is demonstrated by infrared spectroscopy. The presence and distribution of Zn particles were obtained through spectroscopy by scattered X-ray energies and by secondary ion mass spectroscopy. Subsequently, the presence of the stoichiometric ZnO compound is confirmed by X-ray photoelectric electron spectroscopy. The presence of ZnO particles with size <10 nm with hexagonal crystalline structure is evidenced by transmission electron microscopy. Finally, the rectifying behavior, typical of a p-n junction, and its electrical response to light by means of current-voltage, measurements in lighting and dark regime is demonstrated. The variation of its electrical characteristics to the stimulus of different wavelengths is evidenced by the spectral response technique.

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.
