**4. Summary and outlook**

The review has been focused on a series of MCT-β-CD grafted linen fibrous support (yarn) in whose matrices zinc oxide nanoparticles have been introduced with the assistance of two different surfactants. The coating particles fell off easily for the ZnO powder hydrothermally synthesized without any surfactant assistance after washing, which might have been caused by the weak attaching force (coordinated bond between ZnO and linen) induced by the deteriorated crystallinity.

Wetting characteristics are influenced by the type of surfactant used during the hydrothermal synthesis. It is in direct implication onto the relationship between the morphological, structural and chemical attributes and water vapor sorption-desorption behavior. Hydrophilicity of these fibrous composites has increased and based on the sorption/desorption isotherms registered by DSV, BET surface area, as well as XRD measurements were estimated, and assimilated these fibrous composites, set by IUPAC, with mesoporous materials. Humidity loss and drying speed of water from these studied samples depend of the type of surfactant.) A quantification of samples, in terms of their thermal stability has been surveyed, as well. Thus, this paper review intends to develop an innovative and more appropriate synthetic procedure and characterization of nanoscale ZnO coated fibrous composites under favourable conditions, by using the synergic effect of MCT and CTAB/P123 as surfactants. Prominent assessed attributes were emphasized:


These new features are believed to be the promising new lines of exploration of nanoscale ZnO coated fibrous composites in textile area.
