“…It is worth mentioning that zinc oxide (ZnO) is an inorganic semiconductor with a hexagonal Wurtzite crystal structure [27]. The ZnO NPs have numerous applications such as catalysis [28], piezoelectric devices [29], photocatalytic [30,31], chemical sensors [32] and cosmetic material especially for transparent UV protection [33]. Lately, multicomponent reactions (MCRs) have concerned notable attention due to extensive benefits such as simplicity of operation, reduction of purification steps and isolation, and decreases of time, expenses and waste production [34][35][36][37][38].…”

In this work, zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles were fabricated using Arabic gum as a reducing and stabilizing agent by the novel sol-gel method without adding any surfactants. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Subsequently, ZnO nanoparticles as efficient catalysts were consumed for the three-component coupling of 2-naphthol, aldehydes, and dimedone under microwave irradiation and solvent-free conditions in order to furnish the corresponding synthesis of 12-aryl-tetrahydrobenzo[α]xanthene-11-one derivatives in high yields.

“…Another reason is the system under study can become larger than the actual experimental setup. For example, the low-cost fabrication of integrated micro-system and micro-sensors [8][9][10]. This industrial fabrication has high economic impact and for medical sensors have social impact [11].…”

All researchers have experience with various complicated phenomena and processes in materials and have contact with understanding of different complex dynamical systems. Consequently, one has to predict and optimize the system under study and compare the output results to its experimental setup. The experimental setup is done to confirm and spread out information about the system; however still, many researchers are not familiar with the results arising from the experimental setup or fabrications processes. To obtain valid experimental results, it is necessary to pay carful attentions to the tools, devices and the applied techniques for measuring and observations detectors. This experimentations and fabrications process cover all area from forming and characterizations of nanostructures to macrostructures. In system characterizations, it is common to apply system modeling to predict and represent the system by a mathematical model that is accomplishable due to the relations between the inputs and outputs defined by formulas.
