Self-cleaning Property of Polyester Fabrics Finished with 3DOM TiO2

Three-dimensionally ordered macroporous titanium dioxide (3DOM TiO 2 ) was prepared by a sol-gel method using poly(methyl methacrylate) as a template. The synthesized 3DOM TiO 2 was finished on poly(ethylene terephthalate) and poly(lactic acid) fabrics by a pad-dry-cure method to enhance self-cleani...

Description
Summary:Three-dimensionally ordered macroporous titanium dioxide (3DOM TiO 2 ) was prepared by a sol-gel method using poly(methyl methacrylate) as a template. The synthesized 3DOM TiO 2 was finished on poly(ethylene terephthalate) and poly(lactic acid) fabrics by a pad-dry-cure method to enhance self-cleaning properties. Discoloration of curcumin, carmoisine and methylene blue stains on finished fabrics under UVA irradiation was examined to evaluate its self-cleaning abilities. The results showed that 3DOM TiO 2 on the finished fabrics could diminish the stains in a higher degree as compared to the unfinished fabrics and fabrics finished with TiO 2 nanoparticles. Dyeing properties of polyester fabrics with C.I. Disperse Red 60 were slightly affected by 3DOM TiO 2 . Color strength (K/S) and wash fastness of the 3DOM TiO 2 finished fabrics were a little lower than the unfinished counterparts.
