Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Textile Chemistry
  • Nanotechnology

Background:

  • Silver (Ag) and titanium dioxide (TiO(2)) nanoparticles offer beneficial properties for textiles but cause undesirable brownish discoloration.
  • Existing Ag/TiO(2) nanoparticle treatments are limited by aesthetic issues, restricting their practical application.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel method to overcome the discoloration issue of Ag/TiO(2) nanoparticle-treated fabrics.
  • To investigate the effect of cross-linkable polysiloxane (XPs) and Ag mixed with XPs on TiO(2) treated fabrics.
  • To evaluate the impact of XPs on the performance and properties of functionalized textiles.

Main Methods:

  • Textiles were treated with TiO(2) nanoparticles.
  • Various concentrations of cross-linkable polysiloxane (XPs) were applied, including Ag mixed with XPs.
  • The effects on nanoparticle performance, fabric properties, and durability were systematically investigated.

Main Results:

  • Cross-linkable polysiloxane (XPs) significantly improved the durability and synergistic effects of Ag and TiO(2) nanoparticles.
  • Increasing XPs concentration enhanced TiO(2) light absorption and photocatalytic activity due to its low refractive index.
  • The hydrophilicity-hydrophobicity balance of the treated fabrics could be precisely controlled by adjusting nanoparticle and XPs concentrations.

Conclusions:

  • XPs treatment effectively resolves the discoloration problem associated with Ag/TiO(2) nanoparticle-treated textiles.
  • XPs enhance the bioactivity and photocatalytic performance of TiO(2) nanoparticles.
  • This method allows tunable surface properties and improved functionality, including antibacterial, self-cleaning, UV protection, and durability for advanced textiles.
