the effects of zinc oxide nanorod (zno-n) incorporation on thephysicochemical properties of tapioca starch / bovin gelatin composite film such as water absorption capacity (wаc), water solubility and permeability to water vapour (wvp) were investigated. in this search, zno-n was homogenized by sonication and added into tapioca starch / bovine gelаtin dispersions аt different concentrations (e.g...

a feasibility study on the possible growth of rod-shaped nano size zinc oxide particles on the surface of polyester fabric was investigated. the nanoparticles were produced using a hydrolysis method, with a zinc compound being utilized as the starter material. fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ft-ir), scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive x-ray spectrometry (sem/eds) and x-ray d...

Graphene oxide-zinc oxide hybrid nanostructures were synthesized and they demonstrated significant and promising antimicrobial activity on pathogenic bacteria. The combination of graphene oxide with zinc oxide nanorods showed an impressive antibacterial effect under intense scrutiny as compared with individual graphene oxide or zinc oxide nanomaterials. The characterization and investigation of...

Aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO) nanorod array thin film with hydrogen treatment possesses the functions of transparent conducting oxide thin film and 1-D nanostructured semiconductor simultaneously. To enhance the absorption in the visible light region, it is sensitized by cadmium sulfide (CdS) nanoparticles which efficiently increase the absorption around 460 nm. The CdS nanoparticles-sensitiz...

Metal-doped zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorod arrays have attracted much attention due to improvement in their electrical, structural, and optical properties upon doping. In this chapter, we discuss the effects of aluminum (Al)and iron (Fe)-doping on ZnO nanorod arrays properties particularly for humidity sensor applications. Compared to Fe, Al shows more promising characteristics as doping element for ...
