Green Cost Effective Method for Nano zinc oxide Preparation as Marine Antifouling Additive via Wet Chemical Reduction Method.

摘要

ABSTRACT Currently nano zinc oxide received great attention in many industrial applications especially in paint industry. Due to the high antimicrobial and antifungal actions of nanosized zinc oxide particles, it could be used as excellent antifouling additive in marine coating polymers. Nanosized of 20nm to 50nm especially 45nm are the optimum particle size of nano zinc oxide which could be used as marine antifouling additives in paint composition. Investigation of optimum operating conditions.
