“…ZnO has also been used in textiles for various purposes such as UV-blocking and antibacterial efficacy on cotton (16,17), UVblocking on wool fabrics (6), self-cleaning properties on cellulosic fibers (18), hydrophobic modification of cotton fabrics (19), antistatic finishing of polyester fabric (20) and stain-removing textiles (21) with different synthesis methods. The most number of former approaches applied on cotton, wool and other textiles were almost similar consisting of two steps, synthesis of nano ZnO and application of the nano ZnO on the fabric surface by immersing the fabric into the ZnO solution (6,17,18,20,21) or by coating the synthesized nanoparticles on fabric using acrylic binder (22). Furthermore, a few prior methods for application of ZnO on textiles considered synthesis and application of nano *Corresponding author email: tex5mm@aut.ac.ir (Majid Montazer) ZnO on textiles in one step, such as in situ ZnO fabrication on cotton fibers using microwave (16).…”

This study has been carried out to synthesize nano ZnO on wool fabric and also to investigate influences of nano photo reactors on wool fabric characteristics. Zinc acetate has been used as a precursor and the synthesis process has been done in water and water/ethanol media. The treated wool fabrics were heated at 80°C for 10 h to dehydrate Zn(OH)2 obtaining ZnO. The fabric samples were then subjected to daylight for 7 days to examine the influence of nano ZnO photo reactor on the fabric properties. SEM images revealed the embedding of ZnO nanoparticles on the fabrics and X-ray diffraction verified the nanoparticles composition. The Yellowness Index (YI) of the fabrics was measured with Color Eye XTH that has been reduced with increasing pH, Zn(CH3COO)2 concentration, ethanol and heating. The lower water contact angle and time of water absorption confirmed higher hydrophilic properties of the treated fabrics. Interestingly, a higher tensile strength obtained on the wool fabrics proved the interaction of ZnO with protein chains of wool, which was verified through lower alkali solubility of treated fabric with nano ZnO and confirmed more benefits of the in situ synthesis process.

“…Its profound science influence has been considered as the huge momentum to usher. Textile industry has been affected greatly by nanotechnology (Dastjerdi & Montazer, 2010;Li & Sun, 2007;Subash, Chandramouli, Ramachandran, Rajendran, & Muthusamy, 2012). Researches involving nanotechnology to improve the performance or to create unprecedented functions of textile materials are flourishing.…”

“…Researches involving nanotechnology to improve the performance or to create unprecedented functions of textile materials are flourishing. There are many researches about nanoparticles such as metal oxides used in textile finishing altering properties and functions of textiles (Radetic, 2013;Subash et al, 2012). Zinc oxide possesses favorable antibacterial properties and has been found a wide range of applications in packages, textiles, drugs, and so on.…”

Zinc oxide sols-containing quaternary ammonium bromide compounds, including diallylmethyl dodecyl/tetradecyl/ hexadecyl/octadecyl ammonium bromide, were synthesized from zinc acetate and quaternary ammonium bromide compounds via sol-gel process. Effects of alkyl chain length and double allyl of quaternary ammonium salts on the stability of the sols were investigated. The sols were characterized by X-ray diffraction. Morphologies of the sols were observed with transmission electron microscopy. The various zinc oxide sols were applied to cotton fabrics. Antibacterial activity, UV resistance, and mechanical properties of the treated fabrics were tested. It was verified that alkyl chain length and double allyl of quaternary ammonium salts had effects on the stability of the sols. Application results showed that UV resistance and antibacterial rate of the fabric finished by zinc oxide sols-containing quaternary ammonium salts first increased and then decreased with an increase in the alkyl chain length of quaternary ammonium salts. However, the sols had negative effects on breaking strength and elongation at break of the fabric.

In the last few decades, people have become more concerned about their health, hygiene, lifestyle, fashion, comfort, luxury, and wellbeing. Those belonging to economically well-off sections are more often choosing to buy luxurious textiles, not only to exhibit their high social and well-off strata, but also from the compulsion in health and hygienic necessity of the present day. In the production of luxurious textiles, natural fibres like cotton, silk and wool, and man-made fibres, like polyester, acrylic and regenerated rayon (viscose) play important roles. Recently, due to the rapid growth of nanoscience and technology, various organic and inorganic nanoparticles, such as silver (Ag), TiO 2 , ZnO, SiO 2 , lignin, and Chitosan have been applied to impart attributes needed for health and hygiene, UV protection, self-cleaned, and skin-care functionalities, both in natural and synthetic textiles. Similarly, various plant molecules, biomaterials and bio-polymers, such as banana pseudostem sap (BPS), grape and mulberry fruit extracts, natural dyes, Chitosan, tulsi, silk-sericin, aloe Vera, honey, almonds, cucumber, and mint have been applied in textiles for improvement in antimicrobial, UV-protective, antioxidant, skin-nourishing, and hydrophilic properties. Natural extracts of jasmine, lavender, Champa sandalwood and such others containing active ingredients like santalols, fusanol, santene, teresantol, benzyl acetate, linalool, linalyl acetate, and benzyl benzoate have also been added in textiles for their mind-refreshing fragrance and for skin nourishing, smoothening of facial lines/wrinkles and providing impetus to immune, nervous, and brain psychological system. The requirement of various attributes for professional clothing like wrinkle-resistance, comfort and self-cleaning of fabric surface have been incorporated in textiles to develop
