II. The textile fibers are used as a template capable of maintainingthe size and polydispersity of the prepared ZnO NPs with welluniformity.
III. It is also likely that ZnO colloidal particles are confined insidethe fibril and micro-fibrils of cotton fibers.
IV. HMTETA seen to act as stabilizing agent. Obviously, then, ZnONPs are in situ formed within the cotton fabric without thesupport of capping or other stabilizing agent.
The new mode of formation of ZnO NPs is certainly a singlestage process where cotton fabric is immersed in prepared newprecursors solution in which binding the ZnO NPs into cotton fabricoccurs. Three different concentration of zinc nitrate solution wereused for preparation of ZnO NPs using in situ method. Intensiveinvestigation into the characterizations of the so treated fabricsalong with mechanical properties of ZnO NPs treated cotton is carried out. Employment of Z2 concentration on cotton fabrics renderthem high durable antibacterial and UV protection.
