Abstract
A novel two-step process was developed to synthesize and deposit SiO 2/TiO 2 multilayer films onto the cotton fibers. In the first step, SiO 2 particles on cotton fiber surface were synthesized via tetraethoxysilane hydrolysis in the presence of cotton fibers, in order to protect the fibers against photo-catalytic decomposition by TiO 2 nanoparticles. In the second step, the growth of TiO 2 nanoparticles into the modified cotton fiber surface was carried out via a sol–gel method at the temperature as low as 100 °C. The as-obtained SiO 2/TiO 2 multilayer films coated on cotton fibers were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy and X-ray diffraction, respectively.
