Abstract

In this paper, a simple, facile and green approach to synthesis Gum Arabic (GA, a natural gum) assisted ZnO nanoparticles by using a wet chemical reaction method is reported. The synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles has been with the assistance of two different types of GA namely Acacia Senegal and Acacia Seyal. The effects of GA and the properties of Senegal and Seyal GA have been studied by using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM).
