“…The sample was then placed in the vacuum ultraviolet exposure equipment and heated to 80 °C for 1 h to remove the DMSO solvent, after which the sample was heated to 190 °C for 1 h. During the UV-vacuum-heat process, the vacuum pump was kept turned on to generate a negative pressure. EVA passivation layers can absorb 85% of the 365 nm wavelength UV light, 50 and EVOH passivation can absorb 50%. 51 Finally, the sample was allowed to cool to room temperature while still being exposed to the UV light under vacuum.…”

This paper proposes a solution-based fabrication process of the zinc oxide nanoparticle (ZnO NP) film. It achieves a resistivity comparable to that of ZnO deposited by using physical and chemical vapor deposition methods. The process involves exposing the solutionprocessed ZnO NP film to 365 nm ultraviolet light and passivating it with an ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH) encapsulant of 80 μm under a vacuum. The manufacturing process has a maximum temperature of 190 °C, enabling use on flexible substrates, such as polyimide. The fabricated ZnO film has a sheet resistance of 2.5 × 10 4 Ω/□ and a thickness of 2.35 μm. The EVOH passivation layer enhanced the film stability, protecting it when exposed to the ambient environment. The resistivity of the ZnO NP layer with EVOH passivation remains unchanged after 60 days in an ambient environment.

“…During the formation of the nanoparticles by microwave irradiation, solvents can have an important influence on the size and morphology of the final products. ZnSe nanoparticles have been incorporated in the synthetic polymer such as ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) polymer to alter the properties of the polymeric films [26].…”

ZnSe nanoparticles have been synthesized by microwave assisted method by using zinc chloride, selenium powder and ethylene diamine. The synthesized nanoparticles have been characterized structurally by FT-IR and XRD as well as morphological characterization was done by scanning electron microscope (SEM). The crystallite size after synthesis was obtained around 30 nm for pure ZnSe nanocrystallites. However, from SEM micrograph, agglomerated ZnSe nanoparticles of irregular shapes were observed. The assynthesized ZnSe nanoparticles at different contents (1 to 5% w/w w.r.t SPI) were incorporated into soy protein isolate (SPI) to produce reinforced SPI films by solution casting method. The ZnSe nanoparticles incorporated SPI suspensions were subjected to molecular mass and specific conductivity studies. Neat and ZnSe nanoparticles incorporated SPI films were structurally and mechanically characterized by FT-IR and tensile properties, respectively. Transmittance and water uptake studies were also carried out for ZnSe nanoparticles incorporated SPI films. The tensile strength and modulus increased from 5.80 MPa to 10.06 MPa and 18.84 MPa to 94.70 MPa with the increase in the contents of ZnSe nanoparticles from 0 to 5%. Moreover, the results also revealed a good antibacterial effect in ZnSe nanoparticles incorporated SPI film. The main application of nanoparticles incorporated SPI film will be in the area of biodegradable packaging.
