Zirconium dioxide (ZrO2) nanoparticles have been synthesized via microwave assisted method. The structural analysis was carried out using X-ray diffraction. It showed that the ZrO2 nanoparticles exhibited monoclinic structure. The morphological studies revealed that the particles were spherical in structure and slightly agglomerated. The ZrO2 product was investigated by FT-IR, UV, SEM and microbial activity studies.
