To confirm the presence of Zinc oxide Nano particles SEM analysis was performed. The percentage contribution of chemicals were confirmed by EDX analysis. After that several tests were conducted which include, tensile strength, air permeability and antibacterial activity.enZinc Oxide, Chitosan, RUCA-BAC, Tensile Strength, Anti-bacterial,Air permeability, SAM Analysis, (EDX) energy dispersation X-rayBATo study the change in properties of cotton and polyester fabrics after the application of conventional (chemical finish), natural & nano finishesTo study the change in properties of cotton and polyester fabrics after the application of conventional (chemical finish), natural & nano finishesThesis
