【 摘 要 】

Metal oxide nanoparticles such as zinc oxide are increasingly being recognized for potential use in research and health-related application. It is usually incorporated in the modern healthcare products functioning as antimicrobial properties. These inorganic compounds could be applied for antimicrobial paper. Therefore, the objective of this study is to investigate the growth distribution of zinc oxide nanoparticles prepared via in-situ approaches on unbleached and bleached pulps. In order to produce these pulps, hydrothermal method is used throughout the study. The micrograph obtained from the scanning of Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope exhibited that zinc oxide nanoparticles appeared in the range of 64.1 nm to 87.5 nm supported by the analysis of Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy with Energy Dispersive X-Ray Analysis, as high as 27% zinc and 39% oxygen. As expected, zinc oxide nanoparticles decreased the mechanical properties of paper due to the interference of fiber bonding. Antimicrobial test demonstrated acceptable results which required further test.
