This is the rst time Averrhoa carambola fruit extract has been used as a reducing agent to synthesize Ag/ ZnO composites for coating cotton to develop antibacterial activity and UV protection under domestic microwave irradiation. The e ects of the molar concentration of silver nitrate solutions, applied power, reaction duration, and pH on the yield of nanoparticles were determined. The treated fabrics were subjected to the investigation of surface morphology and chemical structure using SEM and EDX techniques, respectively. The antibacterial activity of the ZnO NPs and the Ag/ZnO nanocomposite coated on cotton fabric was evaluated against E. coli and S. aureus using the agar well di usion method. The results revealed good antibacterial activity in the cotton fabric treated with the Ag-dope
