The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Bio-Nanocomposites for Food Packaging Applications (2013, background): “Metal oxides such as TiO2, ZnO, and MgO have also been exploited for the preparation of antimicrobial packaging films due to their strong antimicrobial activity with high stability compared with organic antimicrobial agents [112].”
Use of zinc oxide nano particles for production of antimicrobial textiles (2010, background): “It has already been proved that both nano-sized and micron-sized ZnO suspensions are active in inhibiting the bacteria growth; the nano-sized ZnO suspension clearly has a much higher activity than the micron-sized ZnO suspension (Zhang et al., 2009).”
Properties and antimicrobial activity of fish protein isolate/fish skin gelatin film containing basil leaf essential oil and zinc oxide nanoparticles (2014, background): “Antimicrobial activity of ZnO nanoparticles and the mechanism of inhibition against the microorganisms was demonstrated (Espitia et al., 2013; Zhang et al. 2010).”
