Abstract
A process to produce nanoparticle of ZnO, Mg(OH)2 and Ag
in large scale utilizing already available processes and
raw materials in mining industry was developed. The
nanoparticles were functionalized and mixed with
polypropylene and polystyrene plastics and
polyvinylchloride-wood composites in order to improve
their UV protection, fire retardancy and
antimicrobial/fungal properties. Additionally a life
cycle analysis was performed to study the environmental
effects related to the nanoparticle production and the
effects were compared to the use of conventional
additives in plastics.
