Author(s): S. V. Bangale, S.M.Khetre, S. R. Bamane

This study reports on synthesis of nano sized ZnFe2O4 mixed oxide was prepared by novel self combustion method using urea as a fuel. The nanomaterial ZnFe2O4 mixed oxide was characterized by TG-DTA, XRD, SEM, EDX and TEM. The average particle size of the nanomaterial ZnFe2O4 calculated from XRD was found in the range 22- 34 nm .It was good agreement with TEM .Electrical properties of the synthesized nanoparticles are studied by AC conductivity measurement. Electrical conductivity of the nanomaterial ZnFe2O4 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.
