Iranian Company Uses Biological Method to Produce Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles
“Zinc oxide is a nanoparticle produced biologically. It seems that the future of nanoparticles depends on biological production methods since it has the least side effects,” said Zahra Sobhsouz, one of the researchers of this company.
“We have also produced these nanoparticles by using biological methods which can be used in various fields,” she added.
Sobhsouz said that the company is also implementing other projects, including production of nanocarriers, adding, “We have also produced bacterial nanocellulose and we invite those interested to visit this year's exhibition to see these achievements.”
Zinc oxide nanoparticles are nanoparticles of zinc oxide (ZnO) that have diameters less than 100 nanometers.
They have a large surface area relative to their size and high catalytic activity. The exact physical and chemical properties of zinc oxide nanoparticles depend on the different ways they are synthesized.
