Abstract

In this study, acrylic acid (AA) biocompatible
hydrogels were prepared and used as a polymeric substrate for zinc oxide (ZnO)
nanoflower. Acrylic acid hydrogels were synthesized by free radical
polymerization technique. ZnO nanoflowers on hydrogels (ZnO/PAA) were prepared
for the first time in literature by Chemical Bath Deposition technique at a
very short deposition time (30 minutes). Structural and morphological
properties of ZnO nanoflowers on PAA hydrogels were examined by X-ray
diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) and Field
Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy – Energy Dispersive of X-Ray (FESEM-EDX)
respectively. Distribution of ZnO nanoflower on PAA hydrogels was determined by
using elemental mapping. The XRD patterns showed that ZnO nanoflowers were
fully formed on hydrogels. The FT-IR spectrum proved the characteristic
absorption peaks of ZnO. FESEM images showed that the homogeneous morphology of
ZnO nanoflowers. Nanoflowers were synthesized with an average size of 700 nm.
XRD, FT-IR spectroscopy and FESEM-EDX analysis evidenced the successful
synthesize of novel ZnO/PAA biocompatible nanocomposite hydrogels.
