Photocatalytic Activity of Coated PET Fabrics with Synthesised Nano TiO2

Elahi A., Khajavi R., Torkian L., Textile Engineering, IR

Different concentration of TiO2 sols (10-40% g/l) synthesized by titanium tetra isopropoxide (TTIP). PET fabric dipped in prepared sols and sol-gel process accomplished at low temperature. Particle size of synthesised Nano TiO2 determined by particle [...]

Photo Catalytic Activity of Coated PET Fabrics with Synthesised Nano TiO2 & ZnO: A Comparative Study

Elahi A., Torkian L., Khajavi R., Azad University-Tehran South Branch, IR

The coated PET fabric with atomic ratios of Ti/(Ti+Zn) of 100%, 75%, 50%, 25%, and 0% was successfully prepared via sol–gel process from directly mixing TiO2/ZnO sol. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observation, energy dispersive [...]
