Nanomaterials magnesium oxide

This experimental investigation focuses on the preparation of polycrystalline magnesium oxide nanorods via capillary-driven infiltration of a precursor solution into the cylindrical pores of a track-etched polycarbonate membrane followed by thennal decomposition procedure. The nanomaterial was fully characterized by SEM, EDX,... 

The metal and metal oxide nanomaterials usually applied as antimicrobial agents are silver (Ag), gold, zinc oxide, silica, titanium dioxide, alumina and iron oxides. The antimicrobial features of nanozinc oxide and magnesium oxide have recently been revealed. Compared with nanosilver, zinc oxide and titanium dioxide NP are expected to lead to less expensive and safer food packaging solutions in the future... 

Metal fluoride nanomaterials can also be prepared by fluorination of oxide gels. The reaction of magnesium and aluminum alkoxides with HE in nonaqueous solvents led to the formation of amorphous or crystalline nanosized MgE2 and AIF3, respectively, with high specific surface areas [16, 17].
