Oxide Dispersion

Zinc oxide slurry has been used as semiconductors in microelectronic devices and for accelerating degradation of water pollutants via photocatalytic activity. Due to its inherent ability to absorb UV irradiation and optical transparency, ZnO nanoparticles are used in the cosmetic industry, typically in sunscreens and facial creams. Their recognized antibacterial properties are also encouraging a variety of antimicrobial applications.

Zinc oxide slurry has gained interest in other biomedical applications based on their high stability, inherent photoluminescence properties which can be useful in biosensing applications, wide band-gap semiconductor properties useful in photocatalytic systems and promotion of reactive oxygen species generation.

Zinc slurry powder has recently shown promising application as cholesterol biosensors, dietary modulators for hydrolase activity relevant to controlling diabetes and hyperlipaemia, as well as cell imaging. Additionally, ZnO nanoparticles are favorable in modulating allergic reactions via inhibition of mast cell degranulation. The diversity of these activities has popularized ZnO nanomaterials in interdisciplinary research communities involving physicists, chemists, and biologists.

Zinc oxide is non-toxic; it can be used as photocatalytic degradation materials of environmental pollutants. Bulk and thin films of ZnO have demonstrated high sensitivity for many toxic Gases. Researchers concluded that the potential use of ZnO slurry for antibacterial activity. Extensive discussion was centered on the antibacterial activity of ZnO nanoparticles based slurry coupled with a number of influenced factors impacting the activity. Mainly, by improving factors like UV illumination, ZnO particle size, concentration, morphology, and surface modification, powerful antibacterial results would be obtained.

Zinc oxide slurry: In addition to the above applications, i.e., gas sensors, chemical and biosensors, light-emitting diodes, photo-detectors, and photocatalytic application, ZnO slurry also exhibits tremendous UV-blocking properties. Generally, to protect the skin, materials having UV-blocking properties are added to cosmetic formulations. For the protection of skin from UV-A radiation, ZnO nanoparticle provided an effective UV-blocking material compared to TiO₂.
