The present study involved a green approach for the synthesis of zirconium oxide nanoparticles from zirconium oxychloride octahydrate using plant extract which acted as the biological reducing agent for synthesizing zirconium oxide nanoparticles. The formed nanoparticles were confirmed by Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) Spectroscopy, Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS), EDAX, X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), and SEM microscopy. The synthesized ZrO2 nanoparticles were loaded with Gelatin-sodium alginate biopolymers and converted to nanocomposite hydrogel films. The morphology and the size distribution of the prepared Zirconium oxide nanocomposite hydrogel films were then confirmed by Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) Spectroscopy, X-Ray Diffraction (XRD,) and SEM microscopy. Thus, the present paper focuses on green synthesis, characterization of Zirconium oxide nanoparticles loaded with biopolymers as hydrogel film, and their characterization.
