Cotton fabrics with antimicrobial properties were prepared by treatment with aqueous solutions of poly vinyl alcohol/zinc oxide (PVA/ZnO) nanocomposites and subsequently exposed to UV radiation. The ZnO nanoparticles, PVA/ZnO nanocomposite films, and treated cotton fabrics were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. The antibacterial finishing of the treated cotton fabrics was evaluated toward gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. J. VINYL ADDIT. TECHNOL., 23:E34-E39, 2017.
