Abstract
Nano chitosan and nano zinc oxide materials can improve the UV protection and color fastness properties in textiles. Cotton fabrics coated with nano chitosan and nano zinc oxide particles dyed with indigo were studied. The morphologies of coated cotton were characterized by using SEM and its surface was investigated using a FT-IR. UV protection, light fastness, and washing fastness properties of coated cotton were also investigated. The results reflected that cotton not coated with nano chitosan and zinc oxide had a smooth surface, while coated cotton fabrics had nano chitosan and zinc oxide particles on the surface, which is useful to increase the high surface area, allowing the fibers to absorb more dyed molecules. On average, light fastness and washing fastness properties of coated cotton dyed with indigo were 4–5 (good-very good) and 4 (good), respectively. Cotton coated with nano chitosan (0.3 and 0.5 grams) : zinc oxide (1, 2, and 3 grams), dyed with indigo and washed for 10, 20 and 30 times, shows good fastness and excellent UV protection with UPF values in the range of 51.61–60.31.
