Nowadays, there is a progressive increase in UV radiation on human skin caused by the
depletion of the ozone in the earth’s atmosphere. As long-term exposure to UV light
can result in a series of negative health effects. Ultraviolet radiation is harmful to human skin
and causes a variety of skin illnesses, which is an increasing worry for people all over the
globe. Developing textiles with UV protection functionality has been widely researched up to
now. Nanotechnology has developed several approaches for introducing UV-protected fabric
by using semiconductor metal oxides. Ultraviolet-resistant cotton fabrics were developed by
coating with ZnO and TiO2
nanoparticles to increase the ultraviolet protection factor (UPF) to
the fabric |
