Abstract

Preparation, wetability and electrical properties of nanocrystalline ZnCr2O4 oxide by combustion route

Author(s): Sachin V. Bangale, Sambhaji R. Bamane

This study reports on synthesis of nano sized ZnCr2O4 mixed oxide was prepared by novel self combustion method using glycine as a fuel. The nanomaterial ZnCr2O4 mixed oxide was characterized by TG-DTA, XRD, SEM, EDX and TEM. The average particle size of the nanomaterial ZnCr2O4 calculated from XRD was found in the range 15-40 nm .It was good agreement with TEM .Electrical properties of the synthesized nanoparticles are studied by AC conductivity measurement. Electrical conductivity of the nanomaterial ZnCr2O4 was increased with the temperature. The superhydrophilicity of the sintered oxides was investigated by wetting experiments, by the sessile drop technique, were carried out at room temperature in air to determine the surface and interfacial interactions.
