Effect of TWEEN 80 on the morphology and antibacterial properties of ZnO nanoparticles

Journal of Materials Science: Materials in Electronics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Globule shaped nanoparticles of zinc oxide were prepared using a simple solution combustion method in the presence of TWEEN 80. The nanoparticles were 80 ± 20 nm in size with a hexagonal Wurtzite structure. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis of the samples showed the presence of no impurities. The size of the nanoparticles decreased with increasing concentration of TWEEN 80, peaking at a concentration of 0.05 M, above which the particle sized started to increase again. The antibacterial studies conducted on all of the samples revealed the superior activity of the zinc oxide nanoparticles prepared using the highest concentration of TWEEN 80.
