A Study on the Self-Cleaning effect of the Cotton with Nano-TiO2

Abstract:

Immerse cotton fabric into the TiO2 sol directly, which is produced by Titanate hydrolysis. Make cotton fabric and nano-TiO2 bind directly, so that the treated cotton fabric obtain a better decomposition of organic stains function. Combination fastness of fabric and TiO2 , self-cleaning function , regain , breaking strength , permeability , wrinkle recovery angle were tested.The results showed that: the fabric coated with nano-TiO2 has a self-cleaning function, good fastness, wrinkle recovery angle increases, moisture regain, tensile strength and permeability decrease slightly.
