A new production method of zinc oxide (ZnO)-starch nanocomposite was invented in this study. Starch was dissolved in zinc chloride (ZnCl2) solution (65 wt%) at 80 °C. Then, ZnO-starch nanocomposite was achieved when the pH of the solution was adjusted to 8.4 by NaOH solution (15 wt%). ZnO nanoparticles were also obtained when the generated ZnO-starch nanocomposite was calcined at 575 °C. The properties of ZnO-starch nanocomposite and ZnO nanoparticle were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results indicated that the sizes of ZnO-starch composite and ZnO particle were 40-60 nm. UV blocking effect was observed from both ZnO-starch nanocomposite and ZnO nanoparticle. The ZnO-starch nanocomposite was used to directly coat the surface of plain paper with a laboratory paper coater. The surface strength and smoothness of paper were improved by the coating of ZnO-starch nanocomposite. The antibacterial property was also identified from the coated paper.
本研究发明了一种氧化锌(ZnO)-淀粉纳米复合材料的新生产方法。淀粉在80℃下溶解于氯化锌(ZnCl₂)溶液(65 wt%)中。然后,用氢氧化钠溶液(15 wt%)将溶液pH值调至8.4时,得到ZnO-淀粉纳米复合材料。当将生成的ZnO-淀粉纳米复合材料在575℃下煅烧时,也可获得ZnO纳米颗粒。通过X射线衍射(XRD)、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)和透射电子显微镜(TEM)对ZnO-淀粉纳米复合材料和ZnO纳米颗粒的性能进行了表征。结果表明,ZnO-淀粉复合材料和ZnO颗粒的尺寸为40-60 nm。在ZnO-淀粉纳米复合材料和ZnO纳米颗粒中均观察到了紫外线阻隔效果。使用实验室纸张涂布机将ZnO-淀粉纳米复合材料直接涂布在普通纸张表面。ZnO-淀粉纳米复合材料的涂布提高了纸张的表面强度和平滑度。在涂布后的纸张中也鉴定出了抗菌性能。
