Effect of Silane Coupling Agent on the Self-Cleaning Property of TiO₂-Coated Cotton Fabrics

Abstract:

Self-cleaning fabrics have been successfully prepared by depositing and grafting TiO₂ nanoparticles, and silane coupling agent 3-Aminopropyltriethoxysilane was adopted to improve the photocatalytic activity of self-cleaning fabrics. TEM results showed that the treatment of silane coupling agent is good for increasing the amount of TiO₂ particles. The excellent photocatalytic activity of TiO₂-coated cotton fabrics is attributed the increase of TiO₂ particles and the formation of the TiO₂/SiO₂ structure.
