Surface Modification of Cotton Fabric Using TiO2 Nanoparticle Dispersions Synthesized Through Spray Deposition.

Abstract

Super hydrophobicity is of interest for practical applications such as water repellence, self-cleaning, stain resistance, and antibacterial properties. Due to its excessive hydrophobicity nature, Titanium Dioxide TiO₂ metal was selected as surface coating material. Initially, Titanium Dioxide nanoparticles were synthesized by the substantial route of using freshly obtained Egg Albumen (EA) proteins by Sol-Gel method. The Synthesized TiO₂ nanoparticles (NPs) were further characterized by the FTIR, SEM, and AFM. The Synergistic super hydrophilic surfaces study was done by super hydrophobic through spray deposition of nanostructured TiO₂ over textiles. Repellence behavior was studied using static and dynamic contact angles and also coating is tested for mechanical durability and thermal stability. The method with egg albumen provides us with a cheap, green, and repeatable route for the uniformly synthesizing and mechanical properties of the TiO₂ NP’s representing the basis for a high-quality and well-durable hydrophobic fabric preparation therefore that influence of the modification procedure on textile handling futures
