Abstrakt
The increasing health concern has enhanced the utilization of technical products in every field of life
from common household items to fabrics. Protection against UV is one of the main concerns of the
modern world due to the potential health risk when skin is exposed to UV. Various chemicals have been
utilized to enhance the UV protection of fabrics, but they are not green. The purpose of this research is
to examine the properties of UV protective fabrics developed by using extract of different plants. Ethanol
extract of dried leaves and seeds of three medicinal plants named Azadiarchta indica, Amaranthus viridis
and Ricinus communis were applied on fabric to enhance the antimicrobial and UV blocking properties
of the treated fabric as these plants are cheap and abundant in Pakistan. Azadiarchta indica and
Amaranthus viridis showed good antibacterial and UV blocking. On the other hand, the extract of
Ricinus communis showed excellent UV blocking but antibacterial effect was not good.
