Glossary Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles

tiny zinc oxide particles with antimicrobial and UV-blocking properties

Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) are tiny particles of zinc oxide that measure in the nanometer scale, typically less than 100 nanometers in size. They are known for their unique properties, such as high surface area, UV-blocking capabilities, and antimicrobial effects, making them useful in various applications including sunscreens, cosmetics, and medical treatments.
