Summary, etc. <p class="Abstract" style="text-align: justify;">Viscose fabrics have been modified to enhance the attraction for nano metal oxides, namely aluminum oxide, zinc oxide or titanium (IV) oxide, to impart antimicrobial activity against <em>Escherichia coli</em> and <em>Candida albicans</em>. Viscose fabrics are pretreated with 3-bromoprpionic acid prior to loading with nano metal oxides. Optimization of the acid concentration is reported. The overall results show a unique ability to stop microorganisms growth on the viscose fabrics pretreated with 3-bromopropionic acid and after treatment with nano metal oxides. The ability of nano metal oxide treated viscose fabrics to reduce the microbial growth is found in the following order: zinc oxide &gt; aluminum oxide &gt; titanium (IV) oxide. The durability of antimicrobial activity has been tested after thirty wash cycles.</p>
