| Abstract | ||||
| 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. | ||||
