Abstract:

Here, in situ synthesis of nano zinc oxide, along with aminolysis of polyester fabric, has simultaneously been carried out by using triethanol amine (TEA) and zinc acetate. The ZnO nano particles (NPs) were formed and stabilized on the fabric surface by amine compound at 130 °C for 1 h. The synthesis of nano ZnO particles on the polyester fabric were confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images. The mean size of ZnO NP was obtained with SEM about 51.38 nm, however, XRD data indicated the crystalline ZnO NPs with a mean crystal size of 14.68 nm on the fabric surface. Further, self-cleaning performance of the treated fabrics was studied by degradation of methylene blue (MB) in aqueous solution under daylight irradiation. The stability of ZnO NPs on the fabric surface was studied by evaluating the self-cleaning and hydrophilicity properties of the samples after standard washing. Also, the hydrophilicity of the treated polyester fabric was improved due to aminolysis of the fabric and the required time for water droplet to spread on the treated fabric after one week exposure to daylight reduced. Overall, TEA was a suitable reducing agent to prepare homogenous ZnO NPs on the polyester fabric.

A Study on ZnO Nanorod Arrays Formed on the Surface of Polyester Fabric

A feasibility study on the possible growth of rod-shaped nano size zinc oxide particles on the surface of polyester fabric was investigated. The nanoparticles were produced using a hydrolysis method, with a zinc compound being utilized as the starter material. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (SEM/EDS) and X-ray d...

Performance Research of Polyester Fabric Treated by Nano Titanium Dioxide (N ano-TiO2) Anti-ultraviolet Finishing

Nano-TiO2 sol and finishing agent was prepared by sol-gel method, during which tetrabutyl titanate was used as precursor and ethanol was used as solvent. The agent was penetrated into polyester fabric through a padding method, the anti-ultraviolet performance of the fabric was analyzed and the external morphology was carefully studied afterward. The results showed that indicated that the Nano-T...
