Abstract An efficient and effective sonosynthesis technique for the synthesis and simultaneous incorporation of Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) on cotton fabrics is developed. The surface plasmon resonace (SPR) of ZnO NPs was studied using UV–visible spectroscopy and the average hydrodynamic diameter of the particles was determined by dynamic light scattring (DLS). The ZnO NPs incorporated cotton fabrics were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The tensile strength, flexural rigidity, air permeability, and water contact angle of the ZnO NPs deposited cotton fabrics were measured and compared with the pristine cotton. The SEM images showed excllent deposition of the NPs on the cotton yarns. Textile engineering characterization revealed that the inherent properties of cotton fabric remain in acceptable limits after deposition of the NPs. The ZnO NPs deposited cotton fabrics exhibited excellent antibacterial activities against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. Graphical abstract

Introduction Textile substrates act as a good media for the growth and proliferation of microorganisms, such as virus, bacteria, and fungi at a particular temperature and humidity (Yuan Gao and Cranston 2008; Iyigundogdu et al. 2017). The growth of microorganisms can harm the textile as well as the user (Morais et al. 2016). It leads to the formation of irritating odor, and reduction in the tensile strength of textiles (Morais et al. 2016). To overcome such issues, intensive research is going on to develop antimicrobial nanotextiles by incorporation of nanophased materials in textiles (Harifi and Montazer 2015; Morais et al. 2016; V
