In this study, Zn(Al)O thin films were produced using colloidal solution of Zn(Al)O nanoparticles dispersed in polyethylene glycol (PEG). Zn(Al)O mixed metal oxides were obtained by a simple pyrolysis of Zn–Al containing layered double hydroxide materials with different Al content. Survey of textural analysis of Zn(Al)O mixed oxides displayed characteristic peaks of ZnO structure. The calculated ratios of lattice parameters c/a were found to be 1.61 and 1.60 for 3-ZAO and 5-ZAO, respectively. The optical transmittance of the prepared thin films was not significantly affected by the increase in Al content; however, this increase changed the optical band gap from 3.27 eV to 3.33 eV. ZAO thin films, which are both cost-effective with good optical properties, have the potential to be an alternative to those used in many optical devices lately.

Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) fibers of submicron sizes encapsulating allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) (PfA) were made and electrospun onto the surfaces of PLA films. SEM examination confirmed the fusion of the two phases to form a bilayered fiber-grafted film after the film underwent air blowing and water washing to remove the nongrafted fibers. The fiber-grafted PLA films (PfA-g-film) retain the mechanical properties of PLA. The release of AITC from the fibers was temperature dependent. At temperatures lower than 4°C, the incorporated AITC remained within the fibers without losing activity; at room temperature, AITC released in a sustained manner over weeks. The release of AITC was also dependent on its initial concentration in the PLA electrospinning solution; samples with more AITC incorporated showed a higher release rate. PfA-g-films significantly inhibited the growth of Listeria innocua and Escherichia coli k12 when tested on package foods.
