USES
Applications of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles
ZnO nanoparticles are used across various fields, from healthcare to agriculture, due to their multifunctional properties.
1. Sunscreen and Cosmetics
ZnO nanoparticles are key ingredients in sunscreens for their ability to absorb harmful UV rays while remaining transparent to visible light. Their high UV-blocking capacity also makes them suitable for UV-protective textiles and packaging.
2. Biomedical Applications
- Anti-Cancer Properties: ZnO nanoparticles selectively target cancer cells while sparing healthy cells. Their inherent cytotoxicity can be enhanced with surface modifications for more effective drug delivery.
- Anti-Inflammatory Effects: ZnO NPs can penetrate the skin’s deep layers to suppress inflammation and promote wound healing.
- Antidiabetic Properties: Zinc plays a role in insulin synthesis, secretion, and storage. ZnO nanoparticles have shown promise in reversing diabetes-induced pancreatic injury.
3. Antimicrobial Applications
ZnO NPs exhibit strong antibacterial and antifungal properties, making them useful in:
- Food packaging to prevent spoilage and contamination.
- Agricultural industries for plant protection against fungal pathogens.
- Wound dressings to prevent infections.
4. Industrial Applications
In the rubber industry, ZnO nanoparticles enhance vulcanization and heat dissipation in tire manufacturing. Additionally, they act as catalysts in chemical processes and additives in cement, ceramics, and plastics.
