摘要
Cotton fabrics functionalized with different combinations of TiO2 and ZnO were evaluated for multifunctional properties including UV protection, antimicrobial and self-cleaning. The ZnO nanoparticles synthesized using sol gel method were applied on cotton fabric by pad-dry-cure method and TiO2 was deposited in situ. The deposition of both TiO2 and ZnO was examined and confirmed by SEM and EDX analysis. Application of both metal oxides resulted in good improvement in UV protection of treated fabrics. The fabrics which were finished with combination of both Zinc and Titanium oxides, showed UPF rating of 50+ as compared to UPF rating of untreated cotton, which was only 5. The same fabrics also showed higher self-cleaning extent as compared to untreated cotton fabric. It was found that the sequence of application of ZnO and TiO2 affected the antimicrobial activity of the finished fabric and also the durability. When application of TiO2 was followed by ZnO, the combination resulted in development of excellent antimicrobial property against Escherichia coli (~ 99% colony reduction) which was retained after 10 wash cycles. However, when application of ZnO nanoparticles was followed by application of TiO2, the improvement in antimicrobial activity was found to be moderate (~ 48% colony reduction) and had poor wash durability. Hence, the specific sequence of application of these metals oxides can be utilized for obtaining good durability of the multifunctional properties on cotton fabric. © 2018, The Institution of Engineers (India).
