Preparation of Cobalt Oxide/Zinc Oxide Nanocomposite
Cobalt Oxide/ Zinc Oxide nanocomposite was synthesized by dropwise addition ofCo(NO)3.6H2O and Zn(NO3)2.4H2O solutions to KOH solution at different temperatures followed bycalcination at 300ºC for 4 h. The morphology and structure of nanoparticles and the influence oftemperature on particle size were studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-RayDiffraction (XRD). Minimum particle s...
متن کاملSynthesis and Characterization of Polyaniline-Polystyrene-Chitosan/Zinc Oxide Hybrid Nanocomposite
A hybrid nanocomposite composed of polyaniline-polystyrene-chitosan/zinc oxide was prepared via a simple in situ polymerization method. The synthesized copolymers were analyzed using Fourier Transform InfraRed (FT-IR), and UltraViolet-Visible (UV–Vis) spectroscopies, ThermoGravimetric Analysis (TGA), and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM), X-ray diffracti...
متن کاملChitosan-zinc oxide nanocomposite coatings for the prevention of marine biofouling.
Marine biofouling is a worldwide problem affecting maritime industries. Global concerns about the high toxicity of antifouling paints have highlighted the need to develop less toxic antifouling coatings. Chitosan is a natural polymer with antimicrobial, antifungal and antialgal properties that is obtained from partial deacetylation of crustacean waste. In the present study, nanocomposite chitos...
متن کاملManganese affects Streptococcus mutans virulence gene expression.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Studies of trace metals in drinking water and tooth enamel have suggested a caries-promoting potential for manganese (Mn). Additionally, Mn has been shown to be essential for the expression of mutans streptococci virulence factors such as the glucan-binding lectin (GBL) of Streptococcus sobrinus. The Streptococcus mutans glucan-binding protein (Gbp) GbpC is the functional analog...
متن کاملOptical properties of Zinc Oxide/Polymer Nanocomposite
ZnO/ PEG Nanocomposite material is synthesized by laser ablation of pure Zn target in the mix solution of PEG and of water in different compositions. Synthesized Nanocomposite materials are characterized by using UV-visible absorption, Transmission electron microscope (TEM) and Photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopic techniques. TEM investigation illustrates synthesis of few 2-5 nm quantum dots wi...
