I wonder if someone would recommend any literature on ZnO (nano- and micro-size) powders Hydrophobic and Hydrophilic properties.
You can follow this article:
ZnO tetrapod materials for functional applications
- December 2017
- Materials Today Online:[OPEN ACCESS]
- DOI:
- 10.1016/j.mattod.2017.11.003
It is hydrophobi. You can follow this paper to prepare them:

The surface properties of ZnO depend on the preparative methods, used precursor materials, stabilizers, solvents etc. You can simply determine it by measuring FTIR, EDX, DLS, Zeta potentials, and TGA.
The transdermal properties of zinc oxide nanoparticles combine their hydrophobic and gyrophilic properties. See
