UV-Blocking Property of Nano-ZnO Thin Film Coating on Silk Fabric

Article Preview

Abstract:

The shielding against the UV radiation is one of the practical requirements for the textile industry. The in-situ synthesis process of ZnO nanorod arrays on silk fabric by the application of a hydrothermal method was described in this paper. Experimental parameters (concentration, temperature, time) were adjusted systematically to obtain the optimum. The results indicated that ZnO nanorod arrays grew well on silk fabric surface and enhanced UV-blocking property of the silk fabric.
