Titanium dioxide is prepared by sol gel method from titanium tetraisopropoxide (TTIP) as precursor and likewise zinc oxide is prepared by sol gel method from zinc acetate dehydrate (ZAD) as precursor. The composite sols are prepared in three different molar ratios 90TiO2:10ZnO, 70TiO2:30ZnO and 50TiO2:50ZnO. Thin film deposition is carried out by dip coating technique. Crystal structure, surface morphology and photocatalytic activity of the prepared nanocomposite thin films are investigated. The antibacterial activity of the prepared nanocomposite thin film against E-coli ATCC 25922 bacteria is examined by placing the thin film in standard aqueous E-coli medium under UV light for 1, 2, 3 and 4 hours and then counting the bacteria with Standard Plate Count Agar (SPC) technique. The prepared thin films have shown strong antibacterial activity in the presence of UV light and by increasing the ZnO molar ratio from 10 to 50, antibacterial activity of the thin films decreases because of decreases in the anatase phase of the TiO2. In the dark conditions by increasing the molar ratio of ZnO, the antibacterial activity of the thin films increases and this phenomenon is related to increasing the zinc ions in the thin films.

In this research, preparation of titanium dioxide nanomaterial (TiO2) using sol-gel method was achieved. 2.5 g weight of the titanium dioxide nanoparticles were added to the local paint using the casting method. Thin films were prepared by drop casting the paint onto the surface of pre-prepared samples, then several tests were carried out including adhesion test, hardness test (Shore B), brightness and whiteness, friction test, contact angle, and antibacterial activity. The nanomaterial at a percentage of 12% showed the best results when it was added to the paint. These results include adhesion strength, hardness strength, and exposing to weather conditions of temperature, and humidity. The adhesive strength increased when adding the nanomaterial from 112 to 139 before exposure to the weather and from 58 to 108 after exposure. The hardness also increased from 77.9 to 86.5 before exposure to the surrounding environment and from 94.2 to 96.8 after exposure. In addition, the paint with TiO2 nanoparticles exhibited antibacterial activity against two types of bacteria Escherichia coli (E. coli), staphylococcus aurous (S. aurous) and antifungal candida. Paint with TiO2 nanoparticles is more efficient as antibacterial agents with E. coli as compared with S. aurous and candida.

In this study, CuO nanoparticles have been synthesized via a simple sol–gel method and green synthesis using flower (Matricaria chamomilla) extract. XRD analysis of the synthesized CuO nanoparticles clearly indicated a crystalline nature with a monoclinic structure regardless of the method of synthesis, while SEM revealed that the used synthesis methods affected the morphology of the CuO nanoparticles. The oxidative degradation kinetics of the organic dye Methyl Orange (MO) in the presence of the synthesized catalyst CuO and H2O2 has been investigated and compared depending on the dye concentration, reaction time and temperature. The catalytic activity of CuO was studied by measuring the UV–visible spectrum of the MO dye solution treated with CuO and H2O2. It was determined that the MO degradation reaction kinetics followed the pseudo-first-order mechanism. Thermodynamic studies indicated an endothermic nature (∆H# = +73.03 kJ mol–1) and a decrease in randomness at the catalyst CuO/solution interface during the reaction (∆S# = –0.021 kJ mol–1 K–1). At the same conditions, the green synthesized CuO nanoparticles exhibit similar activity properties as CuO synthesized using the sol–gel method. Besides, the green synthesis of CuO nanoparticles is simple and uses a small number of chemicals. The obtained CuO may be a promising catalyst for the oxidative degradation of organics, especially used in medical procedures.

Nanometric zinc oxide was prepared by sol-gel method using two different capping agents e.g., ethylene diamine (EDA) and citric acid (CAM) in different solvents. Nanorods of ZnO was prepared by sol-gel method using zinc nitrate hexahydrate (1M). The as-synthesized samples were characterized using XRD, FESEM-EDAX, TG/DTA techniques. FESEM micrographs suggest that the formation of nanorods of ZnO takes place for EDA and CAM in MeOH after calcination at 150 °C and 170 °C, respectively for 12h. The antibacterial activity tests (also known as plus-minus tests) were done by allowing bacteria to grow normally in laboratory conditions, and also by subjecting to ZnO nanoparticles in the powder form. On comparison of the above two Petri plates, the presence of a zone of inhibition indicates the antibacterial nature, which would have not existed if the bacteria did not experience any adverse effects by the presence of the ZnO nanorods. In the present study, the activity tested against Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 (gram-negative) Micrococcus leuteus and Bacillus subtilis (gram-positive) the results suggest the selective activity of the nanoparticles against these species.
