Nowadays researches interested to prepare super hydrophobic of cotton fabrics without using flour derivatives compound which are harmful to both humans and environments. This research aimed to prepare super hydrophobic cotton surface with dual effect for antibacterial activity through two main processes. First, preparation of (beeswax/chitosan, nano chitosan) emulsion and applied to cotton fabrics Then treated cotton was coated with the prepared Nano silica, which is prepared. Several parameters were studied such as concentration of Bess wax, concentration of chitosan and concentration of nano chitosan. The treated fabrics are characterized by FT-IR, SEM, EDX, TGA, some physical properties such as water permeability, air permeability, tensile strength, roughness, whiteness and contact angle and antibacterial test
