Importance of multifunctional finishing of textiles is increasing day by day due to greater consumer demand. Cross-linker is one of the commonly used finishes agent to impart functionality in textiles. In this research work the performance of the formaldehyde free carboxylic acid based eco-friendly cross-linkers; citric acid (CA) and maleic acid (MA) was enhanced by incorporating three different types of metal oxides nanoparticle (ZnO, MgO and CaO). Two different fixation methods of pad-dry-cure with and without UV irradiation were used. ZnO along with CA and MA was found to be most effective in increasing crease recovery performance of the cotton fabric followed by MgO while CaO was found to be ineffective. Fabric tear strength was also improved by the incorporation of these nanoparticles. Additionally, incorporation of these nanoparticles exhibited improvement in the fabric handle and antimicrobial properties.

由于消费者需求的增加，纺织品多功能后整理的重要性正在日益提高。交联剂是赋予纺织品功能性的常用整理剂之一。在这项研究工作中，基于无甲醛羧酸的环保型交联剂的性能；柠檬酸（CA）和马来酸（MA）通过掺入三种不同类型的金属氧化物纳米颗粒（ZnO，MgO和CaO）得到增强。使用了有和没有紫外线照射的两种不同的干法固化的固定方法。发现ZnO以及CA和MA在增加棉织物的折痕恢复性能方面最有效，其次是Mg​​O，而发现CaO无效。通过掺入这些纳米颗粒也改善了织物的撕裂强度。此外，
