Sustainable gamma radiation–assisted synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles on acrylic fabric for durable antibacterial and UV-protective performance

This study demonstrates the successful synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) on acrylic (PAN) fabrics via gamma radiation. PAN fabrics were padded with an alkaline zinc nitrate solution of 0.1 and 0.2 M, before treatment with 2% w/v of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA). Gamma r...
