Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
no guideline available
Principles of method if other than guideline:
2w% suspensions of nano ZnO coated and uncoated FCM were prepared in demineralized water. The pH was measured and recorded.
The suspensions were subsequently titrated with 0.5M NaOH solution and the pH and zeta-potential were recorded in function of titrated amount of NaOH solution.
GLP compliance:
yes
