dc.description.abstractEnhancing of the properties of low density polyethylene (LDPE) by the addition of inorganic fillerin addition to a novel method to synthesis zinc peroxide (ZnO2) nanoparticles are the main objectives of this study. Inorganic nanocomposites were prepared by cast solutionof LDPE with different amounts of ZnO2 nanoparticles: 0%, 1%, 1.5%, 3%, and 5% by weight. Thermal, chemical, morphological, and tensile properties were investigated, respectively, using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and a universal testing machine. The characteristics of the antibiotics were also evaluated using an antibiotic sensitivity test. ZnO2 nanoparticles improve melting and cooling points as well as the crystallization degree. These results are consistent with the assumption that inorganic additives act as nucleating agents. Additionally, the SEM images demonstrated good filler dispersion within the polyethylene matrix.Tensile testing showed that the incorporation of ZnO2improves the elastic modulus, tensile strength and fracture strength while elongation at breakwas decreases. The antibacterial properties study showed poor activity of LDPE/ZnO2nanocomposites against all types of aerobic and anaerobic of bacteria studied. Highly pure crystalline cubic-ZnO2 nanoparticles grown in a near- spherical shape were obtained with a novel method with average size of 82 nm based on SEM and XRD analysis and a decomposition temperature about 238oC found by DSC
