Nanocrystalline ZnO thin films have been fabricated by a multi-step sol-gel method using spin coating technique. Zinc acetate dihydrate, 2-methoxyethanol and monoethanolamine were used as a starting material, solvent and stabilizer, respectively. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) were employed to characterize structure and morphologies of the as-deposited samples. T...

In the title complex, [Zn(C(12)H(9)N(2)O(3)S)(2)]·2H(2)O, the Zn(II) ion lies on a crystallographic inversion center and is coordinated by four N atoms and two O atoms from two tridentate 2-(2-pyridylmethyl-eneamino)benzene-sulfonate ligands in a slightly distorted octa-hedral environment. In the crystal structure, the complex forms a two-dimensional network through inter-molecular O-H⋯O and C-...

In the title compound, [Zn(C(16)H(8)O(8))(C(12)H(8)N(2))(2)]·2H(2)O, the Zn(II) atom is located on a twofold rotation axis and is six-coordinated by two O atoms from a 5,5'-dicarboxy-biphenyl-2,2'-dicarboxyl-ate ligand and four N atoms from two 1,10-phenanthroline mol-ecules in a distorted octa-hedral geometry. The crystal structure involves O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy of zinc acetate lozenges with zinc gluconate lozenges in common cold treatment and to examine the dose-dependency of the effect. DESIGN Meta-analysis. SETTING Placebo-controlled zinc lozenge trials, in which the zinc dose was > 75 mg/day. The pooled effect of zinc lozenges on common cold duration was calculated by using inverse-variance random-effects metho...

Four trials were conducted using crossbred pigs (n = 308) to determine the effects of Zn acetate injection near weaning on serum Zn concentrations and performance. In Trial 1, 78 pigs (BW of 5.1 kg and age of 18 d) were injected i.m. 3 d before weaning with either 3 mg of Zn from Zn acetate (in saline) per kilogram of BW or saline. Serum Zn concentrations were higher (P < .05) for Zn-injected p...

Nano-crystalline ZnO particles were synthesized using alcoholic solutions of zinc acetate dihydrate through a colloidal process. Five types of capping agents: 3-aminopropyl trimethoxysilane (Am), tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS), mercaptosuccinic acid (Ms), 3-mercaptopropyl trimethoxysilane (Mp) and polyvinylpyrrolidone (Pv) were added at the first ZnO precipitation time (first PPT) to limit the...

he electrodeposition of zinc on iron and steel for protection T against corrosion was first proposed in 1840. The combination of aesthetic appeal and protection thus provided has established bright zinc plating as an important process in modern industry. In today's technology, zinc is preferably deposited from acid-type electrolytes, especially chloride, as an alternative to those based on cyan...

Two clinical trials were conducted, one involving 273 subjects with experimental rhinovirus colds and the other involving 281 subjects with natural colds. Symptomatic volunteers were randomized to receive oral lozenges containing zinc gluconate (13.3 mg), zinc acetate (5 or 11.5 mg), or placebo. The median duration of illness in zinc gluconate recipients was 2.5 days, contrasted with 3.5 days i...

The strong electro mechanical coupling exhibited by the ferroelectric materials is the remarkable feature of these materials. Therefore, they find applications in sensors, actuators for producing ultrasonics and micro positioning. The material dichloridoglycine zinc dihydrate is a centrosymmetric ferroelectric crystal. In the present study, this crystal has been grown from a mixture of glycine ...

The fabrication, characterization and application of nanostructured zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films on interdigitated silver electrodes were described for the determination of phosphate buffer saline (PBS) concentration. The ZnO thin films were synthesized on a silicon dioxide wafer using a sol-gel spin coating technique. Two different seed solutions were prepared by dissolving Zn-acetate dihydrate...
