Abstract

Since benzophenone and its derivatives containing dyes are a significant class of organic molecules with applications in a variety of textiles, such as cotton, nylon, polyester, silk, and wool fibers. This review article focuses on discussing various benzophenone and their derivatives containing dyes with UV absorbers. The dyes with UV absorber derivatives like “4-hydroxy benzophenone,” “2-hydroxy-4-methoxy benzophenone,” and “4-dihydroxy benzophenone” exhibit good UV protection and excellent fastness properties on textiles.
