Influence of zinc oxide in a polar polymer matrix

The creation of films constituted by semiconductor oxides of zinc oxide (ZnO) incorporated into a polar polymer matrix was proposed, looking for such films to be easy to apply, friendly to the environment and compatible with materials. Within the experimental process, the synthesis of styrene copolymers with a polar monomer (methyl methacrylate) was carried out through the suspension and emulsion polymerization processes.
