- Description:
- Only three of the nanos have a hydrophilic coating. The hydrophilic coatings which were used were hydrated silica for one of the nanos and aminosilanes for two of the nanos.
The rest of the nanos in this group are uncoated and do not have any additional surface treatment.
DESCRIBE THE PROCESS BEHIND THE SURFACE FUNCTIONALISATION / TREATMENT:
- Main features of the surface treatment/functionalisation process: ZnO-nano is produced by pyrometallurgical (or high temperature) processes:
• Solid zinc bearing material is fed continuously into a plasma furnace at very high temperature
• Zinc is vaporized in the furnace, and is oxidised in the gasphase forming nano-ZnO
• After cooling, the nano-ZnO is caught in a closed chamber, from where it is transferred to specialized packaging units.
From the entrance of the zinc bearing material (e.g.: zinc metal, Zn powder, ZnO powder…) into the system until the collection (in specialized installation) of the nano-powder at the end of the manufacturing line, the process is entirely enclosed.
ZnO-nano can also be produced by wet chemical process
For the nanos with a surface treatment, a hydrophilic coating is then applied to facilitate the integration/mixing of the substance in the final application. - Percentage of coverage of particle surface, %:
