Nanocomposite Material Synthesized Via Horizontal Vapor Phase Growth Technique: Evaluation and Application Perspective

Abstract

The synthesis of nanomaterials has been reported by many researchers using different methods. One of the methods that can be used with perfect pureness and have less pollution in the synthesized materials results is the vapor phase growth technique (VPGT). Several types of nano shapes materials were reported such as nanoparticles, nanorods, nano triangular, nanosphere, and nanocrystal. The synthesis method has a fundamental process where the nanomaterials evaporated and condensed based on the temperature difference. There are three important variables, i.e., stochiometric ratio of source materials, temperature and baking time. The synthesis was occured in the quartz tube and sealed in the vacuum condition. This create the material was synthesis in pure and isolated conditions. The application of the nanomaterials synthesized via Horizontal Vapor Phase Growth (HVPG) can be implemented in anti-pathogen, anti-bacterial, gas sensing and coating applications.

Recent Progress of Advanced Metal-Oxide Nanocomposites for Effective and Low-Cost Antimicrobial Activates: A Review

“…According to the baking duration and S. aureus growth temperature, Muflikhun et al [94] created Ag/TiO 2 nanocomposite in various forms. Ag/TiO 2 nanocomposite nanorods are the only contender among the several shapes in this study that can destroy bacteria by rupturing their membrane using the sharp point at the top of their shape [94]. Khan coli's inhibition rate was substantially higher than that of Gram-positive bacteria (S. aureus).…”

The Effect of Accelerated Aging on the Molecular Weight and Thermal and Mechanical Properties of Polyester Yarns Containing Ceramic Particles

“…Some ceramic particles have been used from a textile point of view due to the multiple advantages they could bring to a substrate thanks to their intrinsic properties. Titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ), because of its photocatalytic properties, provides self-cleaning properties and UV protection as well as an antibacterial barrier [ 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 ]. Calcium fluoride (CaF 2 ) is of interest for its high stability, nonhygroscopic behavior, and transparency [ 9 , 10 ] and silicon carbide (SiC) has low density, high melting and decomposition temperatures, good mechanical and thermal properties, and excellent chemical and oxidation stabilities that have led to its study as a UV-blocking agent [ 11 , 12 , 13 ].…”
