Synthesis and characterization of nano zinc oxide for linseed

Abstract

Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles were prepared via direct precipitation method in the laboratory and characterized with the help of Dynamic Light Scattering and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). A particle size of nano ZnO 45.18 - 48.50 nm, the Polydispersity Index in all the samples range from 0.224 to 0.250, indicating that these are mid-range values and the particles remain in disperse form in all the samples. The zeta potential values of synthesized nano ZnO particles are found to be -27.2 ± 7.6 mV revealing the better stability in aqueous suspension.
