Full textAbstract:
Engineered nanoparticle–support interaction is an effective strategy for tuning the structures and performance of engineered nanoparticles. Here, we show that tuning the dehydroxylation of kaolinite nanoclay as the support could induce zinc oxide–kaolinite interactions. We used free energy theory, electron microscopy, and X-ray photoemission spectroscopy to identify interaction strengths between metal oxides and the underlying nanoclay induced by dehydroxylation. Desirable exposure of nanoparticle sites and the geometrical and crystal structure were obtained by tuning the interface interactions between ZnO nanoparticles and nanoclay. The surface free energy of zinc oxide–nanoclay results in different interfacial interactions, and the properties of the surface free energy electron-donating (γ−) and electron-accepting (γ+) parameters have significant effects on the electron acceptor. This could, in turn, promote stronger interactions between zinc oxide and the kaolinite surface, which produce more active (0001) Zn-polar surfaces with promoting zinc oxide nanoparticles growing along the <0001> direction. Reactive oxygen species, leached zinc ions, and electron transfer can modulate the antibacterial activities of the samples as a function of interface free energy. This further demonstrates the interfacial interactions induced by dehydroxylation. This work has new application potential in biomedicine and materials science.

Abstract The authors have studied the effect of solid-state nanoparticle-based modification on the structure of zinc oxide powders. To carry out the experiment, seven types of nanoparticles of various oxides were applied. The modification was performed by heating the powder mixtures in the air at 650°C for 2 hours. The concentration of nanopowders was 10 wt.%, the average grain size of nanoparticles varied from 10 to 80 nm. It was established that high-temperature nanoparticle-based modification does not lead to significant structural changes and cannot affect the properties of zinc oxide powder. While modifying zinc oxide powders, an increase in photo- and radiation stability can occur primarily because of mechanisms associated with the deposition of nanoparticles on the surface of the micropowder. Due to structural changes, certain types of nanoparticles (e.g., alumina in the sample under investigation) can make a rather insignificant contribution to the stability of optical properties when exposed to radiation.

Abstract Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles possess antibacterial properties. Being less toxic to humans than silver, they are attractive as antibacterial agents in biomedical applications. In this study, we focus on the influence of the size of ZnO nanoparticles on their antibacterial action against strains of three bacteria: one Gram-negative, Escherichia coli and two Gram-positive, Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus. The antibacterial efficacy of the nanoparticles increases with decreasing particle size. A major contributor to antibacterial action is the oxidative stress induced by the ZnO. To understand the relationship between antibacterial action and induced oxidative stress, we measured the dependence of the nanoparticle diameter on H2O2 concentration. Even at a fixed nanoparticle concentration, the H2O2 concentration increased with decreasing nanoparticle diameter. This is qualitatively similar to the dependence of the antibacterial activity on the nanoparticle diameter. In addition, in the presence of ZnO nanoparticles, we detected increased quantities of endogenous H2O2 in the E. coli. For use as antibacterial wound dressings, we fabricated nonwoven fiber mats from poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/ZnO nanoparticle suspensions. The antibacterial efficacy of the PVA/ZnO electrospun fiber mats also increased with a decrease in the diameter and an increase in the concentration of the ZnO nanoparticles.

In this study, zinc oxide nanoparticles immobilized by methylenebisacrylamide were used for anaerobic consortium application and were examined for biomass retention capacity characterized in terms of volatile solids and specific methanogenic activity. The upflow anaerobic sludge blanket reactor was operated at various hydraulic retention times and was fed with palm oil mill effluent as a carbon source. The highest methane production rate of 510 mL CH4·L−1·h−1 with a methane yield of 68.3 L CH4 g−1·CODadded was obtained at palm oil mill effluent concentration of 20 g COD·L-1 and 24 h of hydraulic retention time. The average biogas (4.5 L) showed methane content and chemical oxygen demand reduction of 84.5 and 95.7%, respectively. Rmax was 570 mL L−1·POME·h−1 at 15% of zinc oxide nanoparticles, with butyrate and acetic acid in an effluent contained when operated at a hydraulic retention time of 24 h and a palm oil mill effluent concentration of 20 g COD L−1. A CO2 reduction of 93.6% was obtained at 15% w/v loading of zinc oxide nanoparticle. Experiments demonstrated that with the granule bead size of immobilized zinc oxide nanoparticle of 3.99 mm, production of CH4 and sequester of CO2 were 650 m3·d−1 and 456 m3·d−1, respectively. At 15% zinc oxide nanoparticle, granule leakage was found to be 0.065 mg·L−1. It is significant that this is the first report on immobilized zinc oxide nanoparticle granule biomass for biogas production from wastewater.

Abstract Interest in nanomaterials, especially metal oxides, in the fight against resistant and constantly changing bacterial strains, is more and more expressed. Their very high reactivity, resulting from their large surface area, promoted them to the rank of potential successors of antibiotics. Our work consisted of the synthesis of zinc oxide (ZnO) and copper oxide (CuO) in the nanoparticle state and the study of their bactericidal effect on various Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacterial strains. The nanoparticles of metal oxides have been synthesized by sol-gel method. Qualitative analysis and characterization by UV / Visible and infrared spectrophotometry and X-ray diffraction confirmed that the synthetic products are crystalline. The application of the Scherrer equation allows to determine the size of the two metal oxides, namely: 76.94 nm for ZnO and 24.86 nm for CuO. The bactericidal effect of ZnO and CuO nanoparticles was tested on Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus hominis, Staphylococcus haemolyticus, Enterococcus facials) and Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli, Schigella, Klepsiella pneumoniae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa). The results indicate that the tested metal oxides nanoparticles have an effect that varies depending on bacterial species. Indeed, Gram-positive bacteria show greater sensitivity to ZnO nanoparticles whereas Gram-negative bacteria are more sensitive to CuO nanoparticles.

Accumulating synthetic pesticides in the living system has brought about several critical alerts from researchers as it interferes with the essential processes in the body. Metal oxide nanoparticles possess suitable properties including band gap and have played an important role in the photocatalytic degradation of toxic chemicals in wastewater and the environment under natural solar radiation. This research aims at the photocatalytic degradation of Type II Pyrethroid Pesticide (Lambda-cyhalothrin) in wastewater and agricultural runoff using Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles. The synthesized ZnO Nanoparticle (NP) was ascertained by characterization using XRD for material crystallinity and crystallite size, SEM, and particle size analysis for surface morphology and size. The EDAX spectra confirmed the presence of Zinc elements and showed that the synthesized zinc oxide nanoparticles were pure. The degradation experiment was conducted under natural solar irradiation. The initial and final/equilibrium concentration of Lambda-cyhalothrin residue were determined using High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) followed by computation of degradation capacity. Photocatalytic degradation of LCY was successful following the application of Zinc oxide NPs as nanocatalysts with an efficiency of about 87% as compared to the control. The synthesized Nanoparticle was found to degrade a large percentage of Lambda-cyhalothrin residue in wastewater. Exploiting its application in the remediation of pesticides in agricultural runoff may be crucial at this point.

The present article examines the synthesis and characterization of zinc oxide nanorods grown on zinc oxide and silver nanoparticle seeds. Zinc oxide seeds were electrodeposited on a support of fluorine-doped tin oxide glass and heat-treated at 380°C. Silver nanoparticles were then deposited on this substrate, which was heat-treated at 160°C. Their presence was confirmed using ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy, by observing an absorption peak around 400 nm, corresponding to surface plasmon resonance. Growth of zinc oxide nanorods was achieved in a chemical bath at 90°C. The obtained films were analyzed by cyclic voltammetry, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy. They consisted of zinc oxide with a Wurtzite-type crystal structure, arranged as nanorods of 50 nm. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy exhibits peaks attributed to silver (0) and to the formation of silver oxide on the silver nanoparticle surface. In addition, two types of oxygen (O 1 s) were observed: oxygen from the crystalline network (O–2) and chemisorbed oxygen (–OH), for the seed and the nanorod films, respectively. The nanorods grown on zinc oxide seeds with silver deposits had a round shape and greater photoactivity than those grown without silver. This difference is attributed to the additional reflection that silver provides to the light reaching the film, thereby increasing the photogeneration from the charge carriers.

Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles recently are of significant consideration because of their applications as nontoxic metal oxides. This study is mainly intended to improve a simple, efficient, and environment-friendly method for preparation of ZnO nanoparticles. This process has been developed based on plant-intervened synthesis by making use of microwave Saturejahortensis aqueous extract. We have further characterized the obtained Zinc oxide nanoparticles by using different techniques. Additionally, their cytotoxic potential was inspected via MTT assay against both B lymphoma, A20 and T lymphoma, EL4 cells lines. The zinc oxide nanoparticle exposed cells for about 24 h showed diminished cell viability in the tested cell lines where EL4 cells has been reduced to 75% of control after 24 h, whereas A20 cells were lowered to 68% of control. ZnO-NPs have proficiently hindered EL4 cell DNA synthesis at 100 μg concentration whereas completely blocked the DNA proliferation at about 50 g concentration. However, A20 cells besides presented similar propensity, thus exploring the ZnO-NPs potential to treat lymphomas.

In this study, a new diacid monomer containing amide, imide, and sulfone functional groups was successfully used to synthesize a new poly(ether-amide) for membrane-based gas separation applications. The synthesized poly(ether-amide) was soluble in organic solvents, has high thermal stability (up to 460℃ under nitrogen atmosphere, for 10% weight loss), and high glass transition temperature (Tg = 274℃). This poly(ether-amide) was combined with different amounts of surface-modified zinc oxide nanoparticles to provide organic–inorganic nanocomposites. The optically transparent and flexible membranes of these hybrid nanocomposites were prepared. The obtained materials were characterized by Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy, thermal gravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray powder diffraction, field emission-scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy techniques. Transmission electron microscopy of the nanocomposite film with 15 wt% zinc oxide confirms that the nanoparticles are well dispersed in the polymer matrix. Thermal gravimetric analysis data indicated that the hybrid materials had better thermal behavior with increasing surface-modified zinc oxide nanoparticles nanoparticle content. The poly(ether-amide)/surface-modified zinc oxide nanoparticles nanocomposite film mechanical properties improved with increasing surface-modified zinc oxide nanoparticles content. The permeability and selectivity of the poly(ether-amide)/zinc oxide membranes as a function of the surface-modified zinc oxide nanoparticles weight percentage were studied, and the results indicated that the CO2 and CH4 permeability increased with increasing zinc oxide content. In general, the membranes prepared from these polymers showed very good permeability and permselectivity for a pair of gases.

Zinc oxide nanoparticles have wide applications as catalysts, antimicrobial agents, drug delivery agents, etc. because of their intrinsic properties. Various methods can be applied to synthesise nanoparticles, one of which is the biosynthesis process. Biosynthesis is more eco-friendly than chemical and physical methods. In the present study, the optimisation of zinc oxide nanoparticle biosynthesis using the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae was performed by applying a response surface method called the Box�Behnken design (BBD). Three factors were optimised in the present study, namely the concentration of zinc acetate as the precursor (X1), concentration of the S. cerevisiae fermentation broth (X2), and the incubation time (X3). The mass of zinc oxide nanoparticles (Y) was recorded as the response of the experiment. The product was then characterised by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-Ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM/EDS), and particle size analyser (PSA). The optimum conditions for the preparation of zinc oxide nanoparticles were found to be 0.3 M, 100% (v/v), and 24 h as the zinc acetate concentration, medium concentration, and incubation time, respectively. The FTIR analysis showed peaks at ~600 cm−1, which is characteristic for ZnO stretching. From the XRD result, the ZnO nanoparticles with hexagonal structure was confirm. The SEM/EDS analysis confirmed that the morphology was spherical and showed the major energy emission for zinc and oxygen. Moreover, the PSA analysis revealed that the smallest size was 218.6 nm (12%) when the synthesis was performed at the optimum conditions, while when the incubation time was prolonged for 120 h, the size decreased to 134.2 nm.

Accumulating synthetic pesticides in the living system has brought about several critical alerts from researchers as it interferes with the essential processes in the body. Metal oxide nanoparticles possess suitable properties including band gap and have played an important role in the photocatalytic degradation of toxic chemicals in wastewater and the environment under natural solar radiation. This research aims at the photocatalytic degradation of Type II Pyrethroid Pesticide (Lambda-cyhalothrin) in wastewater and agricultural runoff using Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles. The synthesized ZnO Nanoparticle (NP) was ascertained by characterization using XRD for material crystallinity and crystallite size, SEM, and particle size analysis for surface morphology and size. The EDAX spectra confirmed the presence of Zinc elements and showed that the synthesized zinc oxide nanoparticles were pure. The degradation experiment was conducted under natural solar irradiation. The initial and final/equilibrium concentration of Lambda-cyhalothrin residue were determined using High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) followed by computation of degradation capacity. Photocatalytic degradation of LCY was successful following the application of Zinc oxide NPs as nanocatalysts with an efficiency of about 87% as compared to the control. The synthesized Nanoparticle was found to degrade a large percentage of Lambda-cyhalothrin residue in wastewater.

The decrease in particle size will leads the increase in surface to volume ratio as compared to conventional micro-particles. In this investigation to evaluate physical, chemical and mechanical properties of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) containing zinc oxide nanoparticles. Zinc oxide nanoparticles used with replacement of various properties such as 0%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4% and 5% by weight with ordinary Portland cement. The ordinary Portland cement mortar, nano zincoxide cement mortars prepared with the water-binder ratio (w/b ratio) as 0.4 and cement-sand ratio as 1:3 by weight. The prepared mortars are analyzed through compressive strength, setting time, flexural strength, porosity, water absorption, sulphate attack, electrical resistivity and with SEM analysis. The setting time of zinc oxide nano particle significantly decreased and enhanced the compressive strength of Portland cement mortar. The flexural strength outcomes showed that the cement mortars with zinc oxide nanoparticle were higher rather than Portland cement mortar. Microstructure of mortar contained zinc oxide nano particles illustrate that the nano zinc oxide particles filled the pores significantly and so large size of calcium hydroxide crystals reduced afterwards more hydration products formed.

The activity of using membrane technology has developed fast in the treatment of wastewater, drinking water and process water production. The main challenges in membrane filtration are fouling reduction, permeability increase and high efficiency in retention. The best example of membrane enhancement is increasing hydrophilicity. Nanoparticles have been proven that their presence in the membrane matrix increases the water affinity significantly. Although the zinc oxide nanoparticles have a positive effect over the membrane performance, the influence of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticle size has not been studied enough. Two sizes of nanoparticle of ZnO and three concentrations were used for the preparation of composite polysulfone ultrafiltration membranes. The effects of the ZnO nanoparticles in the membrane matrix on the permeation properties, flux stability and retention were tested. SEM, EDX, porosity and contact angle measurement were conducted in this article, also. The experimental results indicated that ZnO-PSf composite membranes exhibits significant differences in the membrane properties due to nanoparticle addition and regardless of their size it leads to an increase in hydrophilicity, flux, permeability, retention and porosity. Decreasing the nanoparticle size leads to an increase in membrane performance.

An electrochemical method was developed to investigate the redox properties of zinc oxide (ZnO), zinc peroxide (ZnO2), and sodium-doped zinc peroxide (Na-ZnO2) nanoparticles. The intention was to distinguish the identity of these nanoparticles among themselves, and from other transition metal oxide nanoparticles (TMONPs). Analysis of 3 mM sodium metabisulfite by cyclic voltammetry (CV) produced anodic/cathodic peak currents that are linearly related to the mass of deposited nanoparticles. A graphite working electrode was essential to the oxidation of metabisulfite. ZnO nanoparticles were crucial to the enhancement of metabisulfite oxidation current, and PPy coating could suppress the current enhancement by covering all nanoparticle surfaces. Furthermore, meso-tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl) porphyrin was demonstrated to be a good chemical reagent that facilitates the differentiation of ZnO from ZnO2 and nanoparticles by CV analysis.

Zinc Oxide ( ZnO ) nanoparticles were created by a top-down wet-chemistry synthesis process ( ZnO - A ) and then coated with polyvinyl-alcohol (PVA) ( ZnO - U ). In ZnO - U , strong UV emission was apparent while the parasitic green emission, which normally appears in ZnO suspensions, was suppressed. A standard lift-off process via e-beam lithography was used to fabricate a detector by evaporating Aluminum ( Al ) as ohmic electrodes on the ZnO nanoparticle film. Photoconductivity experiments showed that linear current-voltage response were achieved and the ZnO - U nanoparticles based detector had a ratio of UV photo-generated current more than 5 times better than that of the ZnO - A based detector. In addition, non-linear current-voltage responses were observed when interdigitated finger Gold ( Au ) contacts were deposited on ZnO - U . The UV generated current to dark current ratios were between 4 and 7 orders of magnitude, showing better performance than the photodetector with Al contacts. ZnO - U were also deposited on Gallium Nitride ( GaN ) and Aluminum Gallium Nitride ( AlGaN ) substrates to create spectrally selective photodetectors. The responsivity of detector based on AlGaN is twice that of commercial UV enhanced Silicon photodiodes. These results confirmed that ZnO nanoparticles coating with PVA is a good material for small-signal, visible blind, and wavelength selective UV detection.

Dental caries is a major concern effecting most of the individuals today. Statistics show that 69% of adults aged 35 to 44 years have lost permanent tooth due to accident, gum disease failed root canal or tooth decay. Dental plaque is a general term for the diverse microbial community found on tooth surface, embedded in matrix of polymers of bacteria. Nanoparticles considered being of a size not greater than 100 nm have unique properties to combat infection. Nanocomposite is a matrix to which nanoparticles have been added to improve a particular property of the material. The present study deals with the antimicrobial studies of nanocomposite preparations of Titanium dioxide and Zinc oxide. Titanium dioxide and Zinc oxide nanocomposites are found to be effective in inhibiting the growth of bacteria. The present work is to prepare different proportions of nanocomposites of these oxides and find out if the effectivity is more when compared to using the nanoparticle alone. Some nanocomposite materials have been shown to be 1000 times tougher than the bulk component materials. The study carried out shows that the antimicrobial activity of nanocomposites is more effective than the nanoparticle alone providing best alternative to dental implant surgery.

Cancer is the leading cause of death and exhausts human and economic resources for treatment and protection. Zinc oxide nanoparticles play an effective role in tumor treatment but with some cautions, such as overexpression of cytochrome P450, hepatic overload, and the mammalian target of rapamycin pathway resistance. Although lanthanides have antitumor activity, their use is limited. Therefore, the current study aims to improve the effectiveness of zinc oxide nanoparticle via doping with lanthanides, such as samarium. In vitro study revealed that samarium doped with zinc oxide showed more antitumor activity than the other lanthanides, and the antitumor activity depends on the concentration of samarium in the nanocomposite. The in vivo experiment on mice bearing Ehrlich solid tumor revealed that intramuscular injection of samarium/zinc oxide downregulates the expressions of CXCR4 and PI3K/Akt/mammalian target of rapamycin pathway in respect to Ehrlich solid tumor group. Regarding the apoptotic biomarkers, samarium/zinc oxide upregulates the apoptotic biomarker; Bax accompanied with the mitotic catastrophe which was indicated by cell cycle arrest in G2 phase. Moreover, samarium:zinc oxide nanoparticles exhibited minimum toxicity which was indicated by suppressed activities of cytochrome P450 and hepatic enzymes, including alanine transaminase and aspartate transaminase. In addition, the histopathological finding, as well as immunophenotyping results, appreciated the biochemical finding. Therefore, samarium:zinc oxide might be offered a new approach to improve the effectiveness of zinc oxide nanoparticles along with lower toxic effect. Also, samarium:zinc oxide nanoparticles can be a candidate as a new antitumor compound to detect its mode of action.

The used nanoparticles were synthesized by pulsed laser ablation in liquidmethods; the used liquid was deionized water. Colloidal suspension of zinc oxide nanoparticles wassynthesized by Q-switched Nd: YAG pulse laser device (1064 nm) laser energy was 600 mJ and pulseduration was 10 nanosecond. High purity metallic zinc plate was submerged in 10 ml deionizedwater in 50 ml glass baker and ablated with 1000 pulse at room temperature. The nanospecificitiesof the synthesized nanoparticle colloidal were characterized with UV-Vis scanningspectrophotometer. Atomic force microscope was used to determine the particle size distribution andparticles shape. The ZnO crestless formation was characterized by X-ray diffraction.Mice mammary adenocarcenoma cells was treated with 25, 50, 100 ppm of ZnO nanoparticles.Results indicated a significant toxicity of the ZnO nanoparticles toward cancer cells, this toxicitycorrelated directly with ZnO nanoparticles elevated concentrations. These result need to be furtherinvestigated and the molecular mechanism of ZnO nanoparticles effect should be more clarify.

Synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles by pulse laser ablation method has been successed carried out. Synthesis was carried out in aquades medium with a repetition rate variation of 5 Hz, 10 Hz and 15 Hz pulse laser yielding brown colloids. The higher laser repetition rate, the colloidal color will be more dark brown. Characterization of zinc oxide nanoparticles includes UV-Vis, SEM-EDX, FTIR and XRD. The image of SEM shows that zinc oxide nanoparticles have a round shape. Measurement of particle distribution with imageJ software from SEM images showed that ZnO nanoparticles were 23.63 nm, 12.13 nm and 5.59 nm for 5 Hz, 10 Hz and 15 Hz shots. The EDX spectrum analysis results show that only Zn and O atoms in the ZnO nanoparticles colloid are synthesized. FTIR results showed that sprocket ZnO was formed at wave number 457 cm-1 and 545 cm-1. The XRD analysis results also show some peaks known as the ZnO phase. This indicates that ZnO nanoparticles have been formed. The testing of the antibacterial activity of ZnO nanoparticles using a liquid dilution method with nanoparticle concentrations of 40 ppm, 60 ppm and 80 ppm. The test results showed the percentage of degradation of Escherichia coli bacteria at concentrations of 40 ppm, 60 ppm and 80 ppm respectively at 89.60%, 97.76% and 98, 70%.

A polyurethane (PU) is a multifunctional polymer prepared by using more than two types of monomers. The unique properties of PU come from monomers, thus broadening the applicability of PU in many different sectors. The properties can be further improved by using many nanoparticles. Different metal oxides as nanoparticles are also widely used in PU materials. ZnO is a widely used inorganic metal oxide nanoparticle for improving polymer properties. In this review article, the techniques to prepare a PU/ZnO composite are reviewed; the key protective properties, such as adhesive strength and self-healing, and applications of PU/ZnO composites are also highlighted. This review also highlights the PU/ZnO composite’s current challenges and future prospects, which will help to broaden the composite practical application by preparing environmentally friendly composites.

Concerns in food safety and the need for high-quality foods have increased the demand for extending the shelf life of packaged foods. Subsequently, promoting and investigating the development of antibacterial materials for food packaging has become inevitable. Zinc oxide nanoparticles have attracted attention lately owing to their multifunctional properties, especially antibacterial activity. For this study, antibacterial low-density polyethylene films were prepared by coating zinc oxide nanoparticles onto their surface. The low-density polyethylene film antibacterial activity was evaluated toward Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The scanning electron microscopy images showed that using anhydride-modified low-density polyethylene (LDPE-g-AM) resin permitted improved zinc oxide nanoparticle distribution on the low-density polyethylene film surface, reduced the agglomerate sizes, and reinforced the zinc oxide nanoparticle bonding to the low-density polyethylene film surface. We found that the coated low-density polyethylene films exhibited high antibacterial activity against both strains. The antibacterial tests also proved that the coated films retained their antibacterial efficiency toward Escherichia coli, even after eight months, with a reduction rate higher than 99.9%, whereas for Staphylococcus aureus the antibacterial properties for the linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) films decreased at eight months and improved for the LDPE-g-AM films. When the zinc oxide coated films were laminated with neat low-density polyethylene, only the LDPE-g-AM was still active against E. coli provided that the lamination thickness does not go beyond 8 µm. This research demonstrated that the coated low-density polyethylene films have excellent attributes when used as an active coating in the food packaging industry.

The white good dispersion zinc aluminium oxide (ZAO) nanoparticles were efficiently prepared by solid phase synthesis method. The morphologies, structures, photoelectricity of the ZAO nanoparticles and the thermochemistry behavior of the precursor were analyzed by TEM, XRD, UV-vis and TG, etc. The phytotoxicity properties of the ZAO nanoparticles were researched for the first time. The results show that the ZAO nanoparticles have a strong inhibition of seed germination and root growth. The biological toxicity of ZAO nanoparticle reduces along with the enlargement of nanoparticle size.

ZnO oxide Nanoparticle and ZnO oxide with Montmorillonite nanocomposite were prepared by an environmentally friendly, efficient, and inexpensive method that was synthesized using the chemical method. ZnO nanoparticles as an effective antibacterial material were immobilized on the surface of montmorillonite (MMT). The objectives of this paper are to summarize our research activities in (a) developing processes to dispersenanomaterials (undoped and doped zinc oxide powders) in the polymers matrix, (b) using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infra-Red Spectroscopy (FT-IR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Thermo Gravimetric Analysis (TGA) techniques to characterize polymer matrix structures, (c) studying structure-property relationship of these types of new materials, and (d) evaluating the antibacterial performance of these materials for different applications. The results showed that the ZnO nanocomposite was uniformly dispersed in the polymer matrix and the particles remained their average size (20 - 150 nm) before incorporation into the polymer matrix.
