“…The POT cage coating imparted excellent UV-blocking performance (89% blocked at 350 nm), hydrophobicity (water contact angle > 148°) and antibacterial activity (Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria) to cotton fabrics. Jin et al (2019) successfully prepared bismuth phosphate (BiPO4) nanorods coated cotton fabrics by two-dip-two-nip technique. Chitosan and acetic acid acted as cross-linking agents between BiPO4 and cotton fibers as seen in UV-VIS absorption and FTIR results.…”

Excessive exposure to solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation causes human health damages, such as sunburns and skin cancer. Thus, the use of sun-protective clothing is a simple, easy, and practical method for UV protection of the human organism. In this perspective, incorporation, coating, and anchorage of UV-protective compounds in textile fibers have been employed to enhance the UV-blocking ability and/or promote functional finishings to smart fabrics. This review describes recent research efforts on the development of UV-protective compound-containing smart fabrics highlighting the UV-blocking properties and multifunctional activities. Different compound class examples and discussions are presented in order to contribute to new insights into sun-protective clothing and future applications of multifunctional textiles.

“…Our body gets protection from skin-related diseases by wearing sun-protective clothes made of nano ZnO. Jin et al 35 reported that the cotton fabric which protects UV rays is an important component of outdoor textiles. UV protection is discovered due to the nano ZnO bandgap of 3.37 eV and the ability to absorb light at 376 nm, 36 which is the wavelength range of ultraviolet rays.…”

Textile technology is advancing by incorporating the benefits of nanotechnology into its diverse fields. Nanoparticle inclusion is one of the potential finishing processes in textile treatment to create multifunctional textiles. The goal of this research is to impart antibacterial, stain-release, and UV (ultra-violet) protection properties on cotton fabric by depositing ZnO nanoparticles on the fabric surface. Following the synthesis of the nanoparticles by the use of a sonochemical strategy, the nanoparticles are then fixed onto the fabric through the application of a mechanical thermo-fixation technique. The nanoparticles are applied to the fabric at three different concentrations: 0.5%, 1%, and 2%. The surface characterization shows that nanoparticles are of an average size of 40–100 nm and nearly spherical in shape. The colony count method is used to quantify the antibacterial activity of the nano-treated fabric. The results indicate that the treated fabric is effective against both gram-positive ( S. aureus) and gram-negative ( E. coli) bacteria. The color stain of the direct blue dye of treated fabric has degraded under UV irradiation, indicating the stain release property. The results demonstrate considerable stain release that rises with the amount of ZnO nanoparticles. Excellent UV protection is also found since 2%-ZnO nano-coated fabric shows around 96% blockage of UV rays.

Far infrared radiation in the range of 4–20 µm has been showed to have biological and health benefits to the human body. Therefore, incorporating far-infrared emissivity additives into polymers and/or fabrics hold promise for the development of functional textiles. In this study, we incorporated nine types of natural minerals into polypropylene (PP) film and examined their properties to identify potential candidates for functional textiles and apparels. The addition of 2% mineral powders into PP film increased the far-infrared emissivity (5–14 µm) by 7.65%-14.48%. The improvement in far-infrared emissivity within the range of 5–14 µm, which overlaps with the peak range of human skin radiation at 8–14 µm, results in increased absorption efficiency, and have the potential to enhance thermal and biological effects. Moreover, the incorporation of mineral powders in PP films exhibited favorable ultraviolet (UV) protection and near-infrared (NIR) shielding properties. Two films, specifically those containing red ochre and hematite, demonstrated excellent UV protection with a UPF rating of 50+ and blocked 99.92% and 98.73% of UV radiation, respectively. Additionally, they showed 95.2% and 93.2% NIR shielding properties, compared to 54.1% NIR shielding properties of PP blank films. The UV protection and NIR shielding properties offered additional advantages for the utilization of polymer composite with additives in the development of sportswear and other outdoor garments. The incorporation of minerals could absorb near-IR radiation and re-emit them at longer wavelength in the mid-IR region. Furthermore, the incorporation of minerals significantly improved the heat retention of PP films under same heat radiation treatment. Notably, films with red ochre and hematite exhibited a dramatic temperature increase, reaching 2.5 and 3.2 times the temperature increase of PP films under same heat radiation treatment, respectively (46.8 °C and 59.9 °C higher than the temperature increase of 20.9 °C in the PP film). Films with additives also demonstrated lower thermal effusivity than PP blank films, indicating superior heat insulation properties. Therefore, polypropylene films with mineral additives, particularly those containing red ochre and hematite, showed remarkable heat capacity, UV-protection, NIR-shielding properties and enhanced far infrared emissivity, making them promising candidates for the development of functional textiles.
