BaTiO ₃ Nanoparticles Embedded Antibacterial Cotton Fabric with UV Protection Characteristics

Cotton functionalized with polyethylene glycol and graphene oxide for dual thermoregulating and UV-protection applications

“…The cellulose CH 2 symmetric bending is associated with the band at 1428 cm −1 , while the C-H and C-O groups bending vibrations are correlated with the bands at 1360 and 1316 cm −1 , respectively. The C-O-C stretching of β-glycosidic linkage is attributed to the band at 1160 cm −1 , while an intense band at 1030 cm −1 is observed due to the C-O stretching of C-6 in cellulose [41][42][43] . The formation of carboxyl terminated PEG was confirmed by carbonyl stretching (C=O) vibration of ester bond at 1720 cm −1 and absorption band observed at 3421 cm −1 which relates to the free -OH group of PEG 33 .…”
