Abstract
Personal protective equipment (PPE) is critical to protect against highly infectious diseases such as COVID-19. Textiles are also necessary shields for protecting human skin from ultraviolet (UV) rays. Organic blockers and semiconductor oxides, such as titanium dioxide (TiO2), zinc oxide (ZnO), silicon dioxide (SiO2), etc. can protect against UV rays. Green technologies such as nano, bio, plasma, supercritical CO2, and ultrasonic have emerged to ensure environmental and social compatibility, ensure safety for human health, and replace traditional chemical textile processes. Multifunctional textiles with different impacts such as UV blocking, antimicrobial, self-cleaning, and waterproof qualities can be obtained through green textile treatments. Using these treatments results in almost no waste of water and energy. Green treatments contain degradable chemicals that are not dangerous to either humans or the environment.
