The purpose of this review is to highlight the role of ZnO and TiO2 NPs as textile protective agents against UV radiation. Different synthesis method of ZnO and TiO2 NPs affecting their nano size and their ability to absorb UV radiation. Resulted ZnO or TiO2 NPs can be applied on treated or untreated fabrics individually to provide UV protection or in combination with other materials to provide multifunctional finished fabrics. Cons and Pros of each application process besides comparison of synthesis methods of ZnO and TiO2 NPs are included separately in this review paper.
