ICTAC Kinetics Committee recommendations for performing kinetic computations on thermal analysis data

Zinc oxide can be called a multifunctional material thanks to its unique physical and chemical properties. The first part of this paper presents the most important methods of preparation of ZnO divided into metallurgical and chemical methods. The mechanochemical process, controlled precipitation, sol-gel method, solvothermal and hydrothermal method, method using emulsion and microemulsion enviroment and other methods of obtaining zinc oxide were classified as chemical methods. In the next part of this review, the modification methods of ZnO were characterized. The modification with organic (carboxylic acid, silanes) and inroganic (metal oxides) compounds, and polymer matrices were mainly described. Finally, we present possible applications in various branches of industry: rubber, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, textile, electronic and electrotechnology, photocatalysis were introduced. This review provides useful information for specialist dealings with zinc oxide.

Functionalizing nanoparticles with biological molecules: developing chemistries that facilitate nanotechnology.

Model-free and model-fitting approaches to kinetic analysis of isothermal and nonisothermal data

An approach to the solution of the inverse kinetic problem in the case of complex processes

A method of calculating the Arrhenius parameters has been proposed, based on an evaluation of the coordinates of intersection of greatly extended confidence regions determined in solving the inverse kinetic problem. The validity of this method is illustrated by comparison of the Arrhenius parameters found from non-isothermal and isothermal data reported by other investigators.
