Effect of nano TiO2 pretreatment on functional properties of cotton fabric
نویسندگان
چکیده
–In this study cotton fabric was pretreated with nano TiO2 (<100nm) particles by Pad-Dry-Cure technique. The deposition of nano particles on the fabric was observed by SEM and elementally analyzed by oxford –Inca software using SEM. The treated fabric was analyzed for the change in their physical, biological and functional properties compared to the untreated cotton fabric. Very encouraging results in terms of improvement in antibacterial, UV protection and self-cleaning properties were found. Further the study was extended to evaluate the impact of nano TiO2 treatment on environment. The result shows that the pretreatment of cotton fabric with nano TiO2 was not harmful to the environment. Keywords––Antibacterial, Cotton, Tensile strength, Nano TiO2, Self-cleaning, UV transmission

Effect of Oxygen Plasma Pretreatment and Titanium Dioxide Overlay Coating on Flame Retardant Finished Cotton Fabrics
Flammability properties of plasma pretreated cotton fabrics subjected to flame-retardant treatment were studied. Plasma pretreatment, using an atmospheric pressure plasma jet (APPJ), was applied to cotton fabrics to enhance material properties, while retaining inherent advantages of the substrates. An organic phosphorus compound (flame-retardant agent, FR) together with a melamine resin (crossl...
متن کاملBTCA/Nano TiO2 Synergism on Cotton: Enhanced Antibacterial Features Optimized by Statistical Models
The application of Butane tetra carboxylic acid/nano titanium dioxide [(BTCA)/Nano TiO2 (NTO)] on cotton fabric has been used to cross-linked cellulose, and yield higher NTO absorption and enhanced selfcleaning properties. In this research, the synergistic effect of BTCA and NTO on antibacterial properties of the cotton fabric was investigated. The NTO particles were stabilized on the cotton su...
متن کاملDurable antibacterial and UV-protective Ag/TiO2@ fabrics for sustainable biomedical application
A facile method was developed to endow cotton fabric with remarkable antibacterial and ultraviolet (UV)-protective properties. The flower-like TiO2 micro-nanoparticles were first deposited onto cotton fabric surface via hydrothermal deposition method. Then, the Ag NPs with a high deposition density were evenly formed onto TiO2@cotton surface by sodium hydroxide solution pretreatment and followe...
متن کاملHot Mercerizing of Cotton/Polyester Blend Fabric Effect of Alkali Treatment Temperature on Ttensile Properties , Weight Loss and Shrinkage of Fabric
The presence of defects in cold mercerizing of cotton goods led to the creation of a new method, called hot mercerizing in which caustic soda solution is used at a high temperature. Hot mercerizing is successfully used in cotton blended with some other fibers. In cotton/polyester blend fabrics, this treatment serves a dual purpose: subjectively, it imparts a silklike soft handle to the po...
