Metal Nano Powder

Zirconium nanoparticles are material of remarkable technological significance and it is a white crystalline oxide of zirconium. It has distinct properties for instance fine natural color, high stability, high chemical strength, high toughness, desirable corrosion, chemical, and microbial resistance. Zirconia nanoparticles have been used for various syntheses due to their high strength, high fracture toughness and hardness.

Redox movement makes it useful in many catalytic processes as a catalyst. For the future nanoelectronic devices, Zirconium nanoparticles have been examined for potential use as an insulator in transistors. It is an indispensable dielectric material and polymorphic compound. Zirconium Zr(IV) mixed ligand complexes have been possessed significant antibacterial as well as antifungal activity. Zirconia nanoparticles have been employed in many applications for solid oxide fuel cells, bio-sensors, oxygen sensors, catalysts, H₂ gas storage materials, and catalyst support.

Zirconia powders utilize in the manufacturing of certain forms of artificial jewelry. The material has optical properties thus it is also employed more broadly in stereo television glasses, light control devices, and other light-sensitive devices. It is utilized in many distinct electronic devices, for instance, in high-capacity capacitors, electrodes, piezoelectric elements, ion exchangers, solid dielectrics. Zirconia nanoparticles are utilized in the electrochemical investigation of one of the important neurotransmitter Dopamine.

The use of Zirconia has considerable significance in dental science. It has similar metallic properties and color like a tooth.  Thus, it reduces bacterial adhesion and has low cytotoxicity. Zirconium oxide nanoparticles (nano-ZrO₂) are usually utilized mechanically to reinforce polymers and enhance the strength of the reinforced PMMA matrix. Good adhesion and homogeneous dispersion of zirconium nanoparticles within a resin matrix enhanced the flexural properties of polymer/nanoparticles composite.
