Facile Synthesis and Characterization of Zirconia Nanoparticles in Dental Applications

Abstract

Scientists and dentists use tiny particles called ZrO2/Nps (Zirconia Nanoparticles) in medicine. In addition, zirconia particles are commonly used in the realm of medicine and dentistry. They are ideal for tooth structure because of their beneficial properties. The objective of this research is to prepare zirconium oxide nanoparticles in a simple and easy way. Nano-zirconium oxide is prepared using the co-precipitation method. The produced powder was diagnosed using tools like X-ray diffraction, microscopy, and spectroscopy, which also analyzed its properties such as X-ray spectroscopy and density measurement. The XRD results confirmed that the powder product has high purity. The crystal size range is 27.97nm. The results match the (JCPDS (ZrO2) sheet No.79-1769). The EDX test revealed the presence of the following elements (Zr–O). The test of SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) show that the particles nearly spherical and the size was 74.03nm. The Zr–O stretching modes and the Zr–O2–Zr bending modes were confirmed by the FTIR (Fourier transform infrared). The density of ZrO2/Np was measured several times and determined it to be (5.07±0.12 g/cm3).
