Do you know about the application of nanometer zinc oxide?

1. Rubber industry
Functional additives: nanometer zinc oxide because of its large specific surface area, strong activity, can be used as a vulcanization active agent and other functional additives, improve the smooth rubber products, resistência ao desgaste, mechanical strength and anti-aging properties.
Reduce the amount: In rubber products, the amount of nano-zinc oxide is only 10% Para 30% of ordinary zinc oxide, but it can significantly improve product performance and reduce costs.
Improve the processing performance: nanometer zinc oxide can extend the burning time of rubber, which is conducive to the improvement of processing technology.
2. Ceramic industry
Glaze and flux: nanometer zinc oxide can be used as enamel and flux, reduce sintering temperature, improve gloss and flexibility.
3. Textile industry
Antibacterial and deodorant: nanometer zinc oxide can be used as an antibacterial agent in the textile field, killing bacteria and viruses through photocatalysis, and at the same time has deodorant function.
Ultraviolet shielding: nanometer zinc oxide can effectively shield ultraviolet rays, protect textiles from ultraviolet damage, and improve the durability and comfort of textiles.
4. Coating industry
Anti-ultraviolet and anti-mildew: nanometer zinc oxide can be used as anti-ultraviolet and anti-mildew agent in coatings to improve the durability and environmental protection performance of coatings.
Improve performance: Compared with ordinary coating additives, nano-zinc oxide can significantly improve the overall performance of the coating, such as hardness, resistência ao desgaste, gloss, etc.
5. Other areas
Optical field: nanometer zinc oxide can be used to manufacture gas sensors, ultraviolet detectors, laser devices and so on.
Electronic field: As a semiconductor material, nanometer zinc oxide has important applications in electronic devices, such as fluorophores, rheostat and so on.
Defense industry: Nanometer zinc oxide also has potential applications in the defense industry, such as the manufacture of stealth materials.
Preparation method
The preparation methods of nanometer zinc oxide mainly include direct method (also known as the United States method), indirect method (also known as the French method) and wet chemical method. Among them, wet chemical method (NPP- method) has attracted much attention because of its ability to prepare nano-sized zinc oxide with small particle size and large specific surface area.
