Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles with hexagonal wurtize structure were successfully synthesized via simple, cost-effective and environmental friendly modified combustion synthesis route. Three different type of dispersants namely glycerol, palm oil derived fatty alcohol (C8) and fatty ester (C12) were...
