The resistance of ZnO-nanocoated fabric samples to the action of mold fungi under laboratory and field conditions of the tropical climate of Vietnam was studied at the mycological site of the Hoa Lac Climatic Testing Station, Hanoi. The ZnO nanocoating was applied in a pilot plant using the sol–gel method under the action of powerful ultrasound with a frequency of 19.1 kHz. Laboratory tests showed high antimicrobial resistance of ZnO-nanocoated fabrics in comparison with the reference sample. Under tropical conditions for 24 months, neither fungal growth nor destruction of the fabric structure was detected on impregnated fabric samples. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
