elastomer compound based on nr/br was prepared using different kinds of nano-zno and zno. the effect of zinc oxide as an activator of sulfur cure on the mechanical and morphological properties of the compound was studied. the result of the mechanical properties showed that the tensile strength, elongation-at-break, resilience, and abrasion resistance of the compound prepared by zno (4 phr) are ...

ZnO nano-particles have been synthesized by simple chemical route using a starting solution consisting of zinc acetate and citric acid as a surfactant agent. The structural properties of the prepared ZnO nano-particles annealed at different temperatures have been characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analyses. The XRD patterns show ZnO-wurtize phase...

BACKGROUND Titanium is an inert metal that does not induce osteogenesis and has no antibacterial properties; it is proposed that hydroxyapatite coating can enhance its bioactivity, while zinc can contribute to antibacterial properties and improve osseointegration. AIMS A nano-sized hydroxyapatite-zinc coating was deposited on commercially pure titanium using an electro-chemical process, in or...

nanocomposite of zro2/zno was prepared under ultrasonic irradiation by sol gel process from directly mixing zirconium and zinc gels. the mixture was placed under ultrasonic irradiation for 2 hours. after the aging time and filtration of the reaction mixture, the filtrated composite gel was calcinated at 500 °c for 3h in furnace. the precursor gels of zirconium and zinc were prepared from dissol...

The Zinc oxide nanoparticles were successfully synthesized using nitrate as the precursor and extract of Illicium verum was used reducing stabilizing agent.

This study was to investigate the physical and antimicrobial activity of prepared films against three types of aflatoxin producing fungi Aspergillus Flavus. Material and methods: For investigating the effect of antibacterial nano-covers, the direct contact of 0, 1%, 3% and 5%...

background and objectives: zinc oxide (zno) nano-particles have been proven to have strong antibacterial activity against food borne pathogens. the practical applications of different concentrations (control, 0, 1, 2, 4, 6 and 8 mm) of zno suspensions containing 1% acetic acid were investigated against the pathogenic bacteria like staphylococcus aureus. materials and methods: the projects of la...

Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles (NPs) have been widely used for food fortification, because zinc is essential for many enzyme and hormone activities and cellular functions, but public concern about their potential toxicity is increasing. Interactions between ZnO and biomatrices might affect the oral absorption, distribution, and toxicity of ZnO, which may be influenced by particle size. In this ...

Objective(s): Since microbial contamination can reduce the shelf life of the foodstuff and there is a potential for the growth of some pathogen microorganisms, films containing antimicrobial agents were produced, which are also biodegradable. In this study, the effect of 1, 3 and 5% nano-zinc oxide on antimicrobial properties and permeability of poly lactic acid film was invest...
