“…Nanoboron was obtained as a crystalline powder with 50 nm particle size (Akbar et al, ) from Nabond Chemistry, Inc. (Shenzhen, Guangdong, China) and used as a p‐type dopant to investigate the effect on photocatalysis in combination with the titania particles. Titania nanoparticles were obtained from Nanografi Inc. in the form of anatase, as well as in the standard commercial Degussa P25 form with 3:1 anatase to rutile crystalline structure (Fouda, ; Godet et al, ).…”

“…To determine the optimum p‐type dopant concentration for titania, a central composite design was selected and implemented by the Design‐Expert software (Version 8.0.6, Stat‐Ease Inc, Minneapolis, MN, USA). The design levels were determined based on the best‐known methods implemented in textile manufacturing in addition to the earlier studies conducted on the application of nanoboron on the textiles as an antimicrobial agent (Akbar et al, ), and optimization and comparison of photocatalytic performances of various concentrations of P25‐type titania nanoparticles on the textiles surfaces (Cerhan et al, ). The nanoboron particles were observed to be effective as antimicrobial agents on textiles with effective coating performance up to 0.2 wt%, P25 particles were the most effective in photocatalysis at 0.1 wt% while satisfying the textile colorfastness and physical testing criteria.…”

“…Their recombination might be reduced more as compared to the cationic dopants (Ding et al, ). The choice of nanoboron as a p‐type dopant was based on its availability as a pure nanoparticle, its suitability for creating secondary bonds, and its previously demonstrated antibacterial properties on textile finishing applications (Akbar et al, ).…”

Boron is a commonly used p‐type dopant for semiconductor and photonic applications. In this study, standard photocatalytic titanium dioxide (TiO2) particles were doped with nanosized boron particles and coated on textiles to bring the photocatalytic light intensity closer to the visible light range. Boron/titania nanoparticle composites were initially prepared in DI water solutions and studied for their photocatalytic response through a statistical central composite design. To determine the most effective titania and nanoboron particle blend for photocatalytic textile coating, absorbance and stain bleach analyses were performed by UV light exposure. The performance of the composite particles at the optimal concentration has also been evaluated in the finishing solution and compared with the performances of the pure titania particles. It was found that the textiles coated with 0.08 wt% anatase doped with 0.16 wt% nanoboron as a p‐type dopant provided improvement in self‐cleaning ability under the visible light range in the DI water environment. Energy band gap calculations further verified the nanoboron‐doped titania blend to have a lower energy barrier as compared with the 0.1 wt% anatase in agreement with the photocatalytic activity improvements. Nanoboron is shown to be a strong candidate as a p‐type dopant to titania for photocatalytic textile coatings.

N ANO technology has been a core of many research work for the past fifty years. Applications of nanotechnology in textiles field have increased such products value, and made these textiles as a very important part of smart inventions. Durability, comfortability, hygienic properties, UV protection, energy saving and many other properties have been achieved through using the application of nanoparticles in textiles weather through coating or encapsulation or other methods. (PANI)/polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibers, silver nanoparticles, single/multi-walled-nano carbon tubes (SWCNT/MWCNT) and Ag, Au and Cu nanoparticles have been used in smart and smart wearable textiles such as stretchable textiles and wearable solar textiles, triboelectric nanogenerator and one-piece self-power/self-charging power textiles. Smart wearable textiles are a result of the combination between nanotechnology and smart textiles which will be the next trend of textiles research.

In this investigation Ag, TiO2 and ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized by simple and low cost methods and then, they were coated at different concentrations on cotton fabrics. Finally, their morphology, photocatalytic properties and antibacterial activity were assessed. Among them, TiO2 nanoparticles exhibited antibacterial activity under ultraviolet irradiations. The results revealed that the combination of Ag, TiO2 and ZnO nanoparticles causes the formation of Schottky barrier between metal (Ag) and semiconductors (ZnO and TiO2). Besides, the results indicated that anatase and rutile types of TiO2 nanoparticles form defect at the interface of the phases acting as an electron sink and prevent electron‐hole recombination, and consequently improve photocatalytic properties. Moreover, the optimum photocatalytic and antibacterial activities were observed in the decorated fabrics containing 50 mg ZnO, 50 mg TiO2 and 7.34 mg Ag in 500 ml distilled water. This sample also showed higher antibacterial activity against Shigella than Salmonella Typhi.
