Surface Modification of Poly(ethylene Terephthalate) (PET) with UV/Nano-TiO2

Article Preview

Abstract:

The PET fabric surface was modified with ultraviolet radiation and nano-TiO2. The wettability and the broken strength of the modified PET fabric were studied. The results showed that with the increase of the ultraviolet radiation irradiation, the water contact angles of modified PET fabrics decreased greatly. Water contact angle of PET fabric modified with 40g/L nano-TIO2 and 60 min ultraviolet radiation irradiation could decreased to zero in 4.11 seconds. And the capillary rise height of modified PET fabric could increase from 1.1 mm to 110.2 mm. The spraying rate of modified fabric could decrease from 4 to 1 degree, and the water absorption could increase 89.86%. These showed the hydrophobic PET fabric could be modified to super hydrophilic PET fabric. The broken strength of modified PET fabric not only did not decrease, but also increased a little. The broken elongation kept well.
