 Full text | Abstract: Zinc oxide precipitated from an emulsion system was characterised by a narrow particle size distribution and large specific surface area. The product was subjected to morphological and dispersive evaluations, and its application possibilities were indicated. The precipitated zinc oxide can be used as a surface modifier of different types of textile products mainly because it shows considerable barrier properties protecting against UV radiation and antibacterial activity. These new properties open possibilities for many new applications. |
