Size effect of ZnO nanorods on physicochemical properties of plasticized starch composites

This work demonstrates that the size of ZnO nanorods (ZnONR) with similar aspect ratio determines several physicochemical and microbiological properties of thermoplastic starch composites (TPS/ZnONR) at a given concentration of ZnONRs. A combination of sol-gel and hydrothermal methods was developed...

description This work demonstrates that the size of ZnO nanorods (ZnONR) with similar aspect ratio determines several physicochemical and microbiological properties of thermoplastic starch composites (TPS/ZnONR) at a given concentration of ZnONRs. A combination of sol-gel and hydrothermal methods was developed to synthesize ZnONR with different sizes but similar aspect ratios. Starch composites containing 1 wt.% of ZnONR were prepared by casting. Composites with smaller size nanorods (ZnONR-S) showed more efficiency in shielding UVA radiation and had a higher solubility and water vapor permeability than those with larger nanorods (ZnONR-L).
