Fabrication of PET/PU/ZnO NPs based Polymer Nanocomposite for Uniform Dispersion of ZnO Nanoparticles by Bar Spreading and Chemical Bath Deposition Method

Currently, nanomaterials are one of the materials being used commercially almost in all domains to improve the quality of products due to its physical, chemical, optical, antimicrobial and catalytic properties. In present paper, one of its roles in polymer chemistry has been explored, in this regards, the fabrication method developed for uniform coating of PET films with ZnO nanoparticles. In this direction, ZnO nanomaterials are very important as they are biocompatible, non- cytotoxic, cheap and easy to produce. The ZnO nanoparticles were obtained by facile hydrothermal route using zinc acetate and urea as precursors in water. The surface coating of nanomaterials on PET/PU films were achieved by bar spreader and chemical bath deposition method. Further, the structural and morphological analysis reveals uniform coating of ZnO nanostructures on to the PET/PU films.
