In the present study we report the synthesis and characterization of nanosized copper oxide,
tin oxide and composite of copper and tin oxide and their application on cotton fabrics for
UV shielding. The CuO-SnO nanocomposite material prepared under different temperature
90 0 - 150 °C by using water and 1,2-ethanediol as a solvent. Copper oxide, tin oxide and
composite of copper and tin oxide nanoparticles were then applied to cotton sample to impart
sunscreen activity to the treated textiles. SEM (Scanning electron microscopy) were used to
characterize the surface of cotton sample which were treated with copper oxide, tin oxide and
composite of copper and tin oxide nanoparticles. Physical tests were performed on the fabrics
after the treatment with copper oxide, tin oxide and composite of copper and tin oxide
nanoparticles. CuO is covalent in nature. Copper oxide crystallizes in a cubic structure. At
high temperature It is easily reduced by hydrogen and dissociate in acid solution to gives
copper(II)ions and copper. The chemical compound is quite distinctive due to its black
colour, a significant variation from the metallic copper it originates from Copper(l).SnO is collectively considered as versatile metal oxide mainly because of its variance valence state
and also because of the existence of vacant oxygen defects.
