Abstract
Statement of the Problem: Villous zinc oxalate (ZnC2O4) is a kind of phase-refined materials. It can be prepared using various methods such as solid-phase, liquid-phase, or so-gel methods. Zinc acetate (C4H6O4Zn) and oxalic acid are commonly used to prepare ZnC2O4. ZnC2O4 can be used to preparing by the sol-gel method from zinc oxide and graphene. In reverse, ZnC2O4 can be used to prepare as ZnO for cancer therapy. However, the use of ZnC2O4 on human body is not clear for the time being. The reason could be this material is belongs to paramagnetic materials and cannot be used on biomedicine along. Villous ZnC2O4 was successfully prepared from reduced graphene oxide (RGO) and zinc oxide (ZnO) using a two-precursor sol-gel method, and scanned using a matrix-dotted microbeam laser. Application of the laser caused the synthesized ZnC2O4 to melt and resolidify, forming uniformly spread nanovillous protrusions. The characteristics of the microstructures were examined using X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray analysis, field emission scanning electron microscopy, and Raman spectroscopy. Villous ZnC2O4 is open structure and can dissolve in liquid. Moreover, it can be attracted through impurity sites, resulting in oversaturation. There, it can be used on biomedicine applications, such as; it can be a surface coating materials on superparamagnetic nanoparticles as targeted medicine. It can also be used as a targeted substrate for other medicine coating or interstial in there. This targeted goal can be achieved by the novel drug delivery system for non-superparamagnetic nanoparticles and is under developing in our group.
