Synthesis of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles Through Polymeric Precursor Route and their Integration into Functional Nanocomposites
Abstract: A polymer precursor approach for creating zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles with regulated size and shape is described in this work. By stabilising and capping particles, the polymer-assisted pathway efficiently reduces particle agglomeration while facilitating controlled nucleation and growth. The surface shape and dispersion of the produced ZnO nanoparticles were assessed using the scanning electron microscopy (SEM). When compared to traditional synthesis techniques, the addition of polymer greatly enhanced surface homogeneity …
