HIS article gives an overview on self-cleaning technology on polyester fabric (PET) by titanium dioxide (TiO2), in a pure nano particle form. Titanium dioxide finishing develops several properties of the fabrics such as ultraviolet protection and anti-microbial finishing, and these finishings reduce energy, laundry cost and time. The article suggests the remedies such as the addition of an antistatic agent like sodium carbonate, acetic acid and TiO2, which are added to the base polymer. This treatment lowers surface resistivity to such a level that the static charge can easily get dissipated. In addition, the present work suggests printing the finished fabric with glow in the dark pigment (Strontium aluminate phosphors).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
