Zinc oxide-linen fibrous composites: morphological, structural, chemical and humidity adsorptive attributes:

The main result and characterizing aspect of the research consists of the effectiveness of novel ZnO-linen fibrous composites synthesized by means of hydrothermal deposition of zinc oxide onto linen fibers, with the assistance of two surfactants. This has a direct implication on the relationship between the morphological, structural and chemical attributes and water vapor sorption-desorption behavior. Methodology consists of the hydrothermal synthesis of zinc oxide onto linen fibrous substrates previously grafted with MCT-β-CD (MonoChloroTriazinyl–β-CycloDextrin) via a hydrothermal process.The morphological, structural and chemical properties of the samples were examined, in terms of a co-assisted investigation system: SEM images for the morphology, EDX analysis for surface composition, FTIR spectroscopy and X-ray diffractometry for structural samples features. Dynamic vapor sorption (DVS) analysis will complete this study.According to the results provided by the characterization technique, the uniformity...
