Abstract
Research outcome on the syntheses and characterizations of Titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) and Zinc Oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles and their applications on cotton and polyester/cotton blended fabrics for imparting multifunctional properties (viz.Anti-bacterial protection, self-cleaning and UV protection) are reported. The nanoparticles of TiO 2 and ZnO were produced separately in different conditions of chemical reactions using soft chemistry. These synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by F ourier T ransformed I nfrared S pectroscopy (FTIR), T ransmission E lectron M icroscopy (TEM), and X -ray powder D iffractometry (XRD) for assessing the composition, shape, size and crystallinity respectively. These TiO 2 and ZnO nanoparticles were then applied to 100% cotton and 45/55% polyester/cotton
