Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) have acquired great significance in the textile sector due to their impressive efficiency and multifold utilization, such as antimicrobials, UV protection, photo catalytic activity, and self-cleaning. The aim of this work is in-situ growth of ZnO NPs on 100% cotton fabrics with the one-step hydrothermal method for preparation of multifunctional textile with UV protecting, antibacterial, and photo catalytic properties. Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and Zinc nitrate hexahydrate [Zn(NO3)2·6H2O] were used as reactants for the growth of zinc oxide on the 100% cotton fabrics. The loaded amount of Zn contents on the cotton fabric was determined by using induced coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES). The surface morphological characterization of deposited ZnO NPs was examined, employing scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and, Fourier- transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The characterization results showed the presence of ZnO NPs on cotton fabrics having hexagonal wurtzite crystalline structure. The synthesized ZnO NPs on fabrics exhibited promising results for antibacterial, UV protection, and photo catalytic performance.

Due to continuous use and environmental factors (humidity and continuous exposure to the sun), the leather upholstery experiences cracking, discoloration and possible yellowing. The above factors significantly decrease the life of leather upholstery in cars. The objective of this work is to synthesize zinc oxide nanoparticles, which have optical properties that allow it to absorb UV radiation and then incorporate them into a polymeric matrix to develop a coating with UV protection for leather finishing in the automobile industry. The particles of zinc oxide were synthesized by the sol-gel method to obtain a nanometric particle size, the method represent a low-cost synthesis method, without the use of surfactants and easily scalable. With monoethylene glycol was formed a stable colloid with the zinc oxide nanoparticles and the polymer matrix. Finally, the final leather finishing obtained for the automotive industry has greater resistance to bending, also thermal stability was improved. In consequence, the lifetime of the leather finishing has improved.
