UV Protecting Behavior of Imidazole Based Zno Hybrid Thin Films for Sunscreen Applications

Abstract

UV radiations near visible region effects the human, and it causes many skin diseases. UV light not only effects human and also decolorize most of the textile fabrics. It degrades anticorrosive coatings and it triggers the corrosion over the metal surface. The protection of UV radiations has lot of attraction in the field of engineering research field to prepare sunscreen coatings. This work explains the preparation and characterization of Poly (N-vinyl imidazole)/ZnO by different techniques. The UV protective behaviors of prepared polymer composite thin films, make them as promising candidates for UV shielding and sunscreen applications.
