In this work, ZnO microparticles were in situ in the chitosan – attached cotton fabric following ‘equilibration – cum - hydrothermal’ approach to yield zinc oxide microparticles loaded cotton (ZOMLC) fabrics. The ZnO microparticles were characterized by surface plasmon resonance (SPR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques. The ZOMLC fabric showed fair antibacterial action against model bacteria E.coli.
