Photocurable acrylate epoxy/ZnO–Ag nanocomposite coating: fabrication, mechanical and antibacterial properties

Abstract: ZnO-Ag hybrid nanoparticles were fabricated by seed-mediated growth method and incorporated into the UV-curable acrylate resin matrice to form a composite. This improved the mechanical property of UV-cured coating and exhibited high antibacterial activity against E. coli.

“…and 41% of increase for ZnO@Ce 3+ (upto 117 L/mil.). This finding is coherent with the previous works on the UV-cured acrylate epoxy coating (with ZnO@Ag nanoparticles, Nguyen et al , 2022a) and the acrylic polymer coatings (with SiO 2 @Ag nanoparticles, Le et al , 2019; or with ZnO@Ag nanoparticles, Vu et al , 2022). These nanoparticles could reduce the porosity of the coating, not only by taking place in the hollows, pinholes or voids, but also by serving as bridges to interconnect the coating matrices.…”

“…Whereas, after hybridization, it reduces from 3.2 eV to 2.75 eV (red curve), due to the reduction of AgNO 3 precursor on the surface of nano‐ZnO. This value of E g was higher than that of ZnO−Ag hybrid fabricated previouly by seed‐mediated growth method (2.6 eV), due to the lower content of AgNPs in the nanohybrids (1.2 wt.% vs. 8.5 wt.%) [21] . Thus, this finding confirms the hybridization of ZnO and AgNPs.…”

“…From this Figure, we can estimate the content of Ag in ZnO−Ag hybrid is about 1.2 wt.%. This content was lower than that in the ZnO−Ag hybrid fabricated previouly by seed‐mediated growth method (8.55 wt.%) [21] . In the seed‐mediated growth method, the same weight ratio of AgNO 3 : ZnO was used as the initial precusors.…”

“…6 The development of antimicrobial properties in thin film hybrid coatings on different substrates such as glass, plastic, metal, and cotton has been reported by thermal or UV curing using suitable metal ions like silver (Ag + ), copper (Cu 2+ ) and zinc (Zn 2+ ). 7,8 The sustainability of composite nanoparticle coatings on different substrates with long-term stability is one of the most important issues for the fight against harmful bacteria. Ag NPs are the main candidates to promote the highest antimicrobial properties compared with other metal nanoparticles.…”
