Abstract
Cellulose and TiO2 nanoparticles were coated on the surface of cotton fabric for photocatalytic self-cleaning. Cellulose-TiO2 dispersion was prepared by mixing TiO2 in cellulose solution (Cellulose in 60%H2SO4 solution). Surface morphology of Cellulose-TiO2 nanoparticles coated sample was analyzed in specimen by SEM. White particles appeared on the surface of the cotton fabrics confirmed that TiO2 was coated successfully. Orange II dye was used as stain and its degradation was observed under UV light. Washing study showed that self-cleaning properties are stable with 1, 3 and 5% TiO2 coated samples. Air and water vapor permeability was not decreased significantly after coating. Tensile strength also was increased significantly after coating.
