“…The self-cleaning properties of ZnO Ps are derived from their photocatalytic performance [13,25,28,37,[112][113][114][115]. If ZnO Ps are present on the surface of textile fibers, ZnO is capable of photodegrading various organic colored and colorless dirt stains when it encounters them [116].…”

“…The self-cleaning activity of ZnO Ps has mostly been studied on ZnO surface-modified cotton [13,107,114,118] and polyester [101,105,115] fibers, as well as cotton/polyester blends [94]. As stains, coffee, tea, and the dyes methylene blue and rhodamine B were applied to the textile fabric surface before exposure to solar and UV light irradiation for different intervals under different humidity conditions.…”

“…The results showed that the self-cleaning properties depended on the content of ZnO Ps. A higher concentration of ZnO Ps resulted in increased photocatalytic degradation [94,105,115,118]. A treatment of polyester with sodium hydroxide to increase the surface area and wettability of fibers enhanced the adsorption of ZnO Ps and consequently the self-cleaning degradation of methylene blue [101,107].…”

The use of ZnO for the functionalization of textile substrates is growing rapidly, since it can provide unique multifunctional properties, such as photocatalytic self-cleaning, antimicrobial activity, UV protection, flame retardancy, thermal insulation and moisture management, hydrophobicity, and electrical conductivity. This paper aims to review the recent progress in the fabrication of ZnO-functionalized textiles, with an emphasis on understanding the specificity and mechanisms of ZnO action that impart individual properties to the textile fibers. The most common synthesis and application processes of ZnO to textile substrates are summarized. The influence of ZnO concentration, particle size and shape on ZnO functionality is presented. The importance of doping and coupling procedures to enhance ZnO performance is highlighted. The need to use binding and seeding agents to increase the durability of ZnO coatings is expressed. In addition to functional properties, the cytotoxicity of ZnO coatings is also discussed. Future directions in the use of ZnO for textile functionalization are identified as well.

“…It was shown in [167][168][169][170] that the self-cleaning effect increased with an increase in the amount of photocatalyst applied to the fibrous material. However, the authors of [4,47] found that an excessive amount of TiO 2 in the coating led to its shedding from the fibrous material during operation, as well as to an increase in the stiffness of the fabric.…”

This review summarizes the results of research published in recent decades on the main directions in the functionalization of fibrous materials using surface modification. Methods for thepreliminary activation of the surface of fibrous materials are described, allowing increasing the adhesion of modifiers. The features of the formation of functionalizing coatings on fibrous materials in comparison with other substrates are analyzed. Some specific methods for evaluating the effectiveness of the surface modification inherent in fibrous materials are considered. Particular attention is paid to giving fibrous materials antimicrobial properties, photoactivity, the ability to protect against ultraviolet radiation, and hydrophobicity.

“…8 Few nanomaterials such as copper oxide (CuO), 9 and silver (Ag) 10 help in the development of antimicrobial fibers. In addition, ZnO and TiO 2 nanomaterials provide anti-bacterial and self-cleaning properties 11–15 in a much better way. Therefore, these nanomaterials were incorporated in this present study.…”

Fibers are the unit component for product development. They can be divided into two types: synthetic and natural fibers. Recently, emerging nanotechnology has played a vital role in advancing next-generation fabrics. The nanomaterials provide several unique properties such as higher conductivity, self-cleaning, water-resistant, and others. Owing to their advanced properties, the fabrics are being developed by coating and integrating with nanomaterials. Therefore, in the presented work two cotton samples were modified with titanium dioxide (TiO2) and zinc oxide (ZnO). These samples were further examined under various techniques including scanning electron microscopy (SEM), UV-visible spectroscopy, X-ray fluorescence (XRF), and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Furthermore, these samples were evaluated at varying wavelengths with UV light and the obtained results demonstrated that the nano-coated fiber samples can be differentiated at 365 nm.
