For easy storage and transportation, it is preferred that zinc oxide nanoparticles are in the form of a dry powder. However, such dry powder should be dispersible in various mediums. The medium in which the zinc oxide nanoparticles are required to be dispersed depends upon the particular application. Cosmetics such as sun blocking creams and lotions, UV blocking paints, and adhesives for example require zinc oxide nanoparticles to be dispersible in water. Dispersion of zinc oxide nanoparticles in organic solvent is required for example when zinc oxide nanoparticles are required to be added to various polymers such as polyolefins, polyesters, polyamides, polyalcohols, and polysiloxanes for making them anti-microbial and protecting them from UV degradation.
Therefore, there is a need for zinc oxide nanoparticles that are dispersible in various solvents such as polar/non-polar aqueous solvents and non aqueous solvents, polymer and resins etc. SUMMARY

The present disclosure also relates to a method of preparing a composition redispersible in polar and non-polar solvents. The method comprises of hydrolyzing a zinc metal precursor dissolved in a solvent to precipitated zinc oxide nanoparticles in a dispersion, separating and drying the precipitated zinc oxide nanoparticles to obtain zinc oxide nanoparticles having a coating of alkali metal salt of an acid, dissolving an ester of carboxylic acid in toluene to obtain a solution of the ester of carboxylic acid, adding the zinc oxide nanoparticles having a coating of alkali metal salt of an acid to the solution of ester of carboxylic acid to obtain a slurry, and drying the slurry to obtain zinc oxide nanoparticles having a coating of alkali metal salt of an acid and an ester of carboxylic acid, such that the alkali metal salt of an acid is coated on the zinc oxide nanoparticles and the ester of carboxylic acid is coated on the alkali metal salt of an acid.
