Abstract

The amount of UV radiation reaching the earth's surface increases day by day. Nanoparticle-coated textiles are an effective way to protect human skin against this radiation. Here, biofunctionalized zinc oxide nanoparticles synthesized in the presence of casein were applied to the cotton material to study the sunscreen action of the textiles. UV–visible photo spectrometry and ultraviolet protection factor analysis identify the effectiveness of UV protection provided by the prepared material. The coated fabrics are found to have 90% or above UV blocking properties and find potential applications in medical, cosmetic, or sports fabrics.
