Confirmation of the UV protection effect of titanium dioxide nanoparticles on cloth

 In this study, cotton polyester twill fabric (246.67 g/m2) was coated with titanium dioxide nanoparticles using an in-situ synthesis method to fabricate a test fabric to evaluate the UV protection factor. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), FTIR spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering (DLS) and UV-Vis spectrophotometers were used to analyze the coating and UV protection factor data.


SEM, XRD, and DLS results confirmed nanoparticle coating formation on the fibers. The UV protection factor values ​​for uncoated and coated fabrics were 3.67 and 55.82, respectively. It has been shown that nanoparticle coatings on fabrics can provide adequate protection against UV radiation.

Analysis of the intrinsic properties of the textiles confirmed that there were no significant differences between the coated and uncoated fabrics. From this result, it was concluded that the UV protective properties of workwear fabrics could be improved by coating titanium dioxide nanoparticles without affecting the cooling effect of sweat evaporation.
