Study the Effect of Anode on the Nanostructure of ZrO2 Prepared by Atmospheric Pressure Plasma Jet Technique Used in Biological Application

Abstract

In this work, atmospheric pressure plasma jet system was designed and constructed to synthesis nanomaterials such as ZrO2 nanopowders. The system consist of many sections: Plasma Jet (syringe), high voltage (AC). power supply, regulator, magnetic stirrer and Argon gas. The preparation plan includes the effect of changing the an electrode (Anode) using  Fe electrode piece and Ni electrode strip on the ZrO2 nanopowders. The bonds location for both prepared phases was determined by Fourier-transformation infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. ZrO2 nanostructures were highly pure and reasonably homogeneous. The average particle size was determined from FE-SEM. The antibacterial activity of ZrO2 nanoparticles have been obtained. It was impeccable inhibition zone after that 24 h. incubation at 37 oC in the plate. The strains predisposed to ZrO2 nanoparticles show a large inhibition zone, for two  types of bacteria (S.arueas and E.coli).
