...Deepti Pargai; Shahnaz Jahan Purpose The increasing demand for UV protection, driven by climate change and rising UV levels, has necessitated the development of eco-friendly alternatives to synthetic UV-blocking treatments. This study aims to explore the use of Vitis vinifera...

... for UV protection property and self-cleaning properties. Findings This study validates the biogenic synthesis of titanium dioxide nanoparticles for functional textile applications, showcasing a 46 % reduction in color when exposed to sunlight, emphasizing the self-cleaning property. The finished...

... to understand the structural parameters that effectively strike a good balance between UV protection and thermophysiological comfort of the wearer. Relatively heavy fabrics protect from UVR, but comfort is compromised because of waning porosity, increase in thickness and thermal insulation. The purpose...

...-Behnken Design before using it with nanoparticles. These nanoparticles were synthesized by sol gel technique and applied to the fabric by pad-dry-cure method. The treated samples were evaluated for functional properties such as self-cleaning, antibacterial and ultraviolet (UV) protection properties...

... antimicrobial and UV protection properties. They exhibited a strong antimicrobial activity and UV protection efficiency even after five washing cycles, indicating excellent laundering durability. Originality/value The approach has simplicity and implementability on an industrial scale without cost...
