Effects of crosslinkers on morphological structure, washfastness and self-cleaning properties on titanium dioxide coated cotton yarn / Mirra Edreena Sallehudin

Titanium dioxide has an extraordinary photocatalytic activity and it effectively provides self-cleaning properties. However, the incorporation of HO2 nanoparticles into cotton faces a low surface area of the support and weak interactions between the fibre and nanoparticles. This makes the adherence...
