Abstract

Nanotechnology is a modern technology and has many applications that include the manufacture of particles or particles in the Nano scale range ,the idea of Nanotechnology emerged from the Greek word "Nano" which means dwarf ,and nanoparticles were defined as the individual particles whose dimensions do not exceed 100 nanometer .
There are many potentials for Nanotechnology applications in cotton and other textile industries , the use of Nano filtration allows textiles to become multifunctional and feature-rich and produce fabrics with special functions, including protection from bacteria , ultraviolet rays , etc.…..

Multiple –Nano – metric materials have been used , the most important of which is Nano –metric silver to enrich the functional performance of fabric and clothes , but there is a lack of using of Nano – metric zinc oxide and Nano – metric tin oxide to enrich the functional performance of cotton fabrics .The current research aims to enrich the functional performance of cotton fabric by using Nanotechnology ,studying the effect of Nano – metric zinc oxide and Nano – metric tin oxide on the resistance of cotton fabrics to bacterial and protection from ultraviolet rays .
