The size of the synthesized nano-particles was ranged from 7 to 30 nm with spherical shape. The immobilized nano-particles confer the fabric with multifunctional properties such as UV blocking and antimicrobial properties. Furthermore, the nano-particles could act as an alternative to the traditional organic dyes for dying cotton fabric with excellent color properties. Cotton fabric immobilized nano-particle was subsequently printed with three different reactive dyes to express the availability of their printing and obtaining different color shading. %U https://ejchem.journals.ekb.eg/article_198869_55b86e3c06aab349bc028d28f9115cd6.pdf
