Finishing is to make textiles more appealing to consumers by attaining a number of objectives like as func
tionalization, increased quality, and improved performance. Polymers are increasingly being used instead of
simple chemicals to improve multiple useful features in most natural and synthetic fibres, such as absorbency,
antibacterial protection, and ultraviolet protection. The use of nanotechnology in textile finishing has helped to
improve the quality and performance of textile materials by giving new and more sophisticated capabilities to
textile substrates as well as boosting current functionality such as durability, antibacterial, and UV protection
(UPF). The proclivity of metal nanoparticles, such as AgNPs and ZnONPs, to interact with microbes has affected
desired results in textile materials. Tea leaf extract was used to create AgNPs. ZnONPs were calcined from the
powder produced by reacting zinc acetate with tea leaf extract. The fabric is coated with polycation (PC) and
metal nanoparticles that have been produced. |
