Durable Multifunctional Properties on Polyester Fabric by Applying Nanocoating

This work is done to prepare multifunctional fabric by coating with nano composite made of reduced graphene oxide and TiO 2 on polyester fabric. The influence of the RGO coatings on polyester fabrics imparts properties such as light absorption, conductivity, electroactivity and photocatalytic properties. With the increased number of RGO layers the properties also developed. RGO treated polyester fabric was then treated with TiO 2 to enhance the multifunctional properties of the fabric. The photo-catalytic properties of the fabrics were tested with Rhodamine B dye solutions. Photocatalytic efficiency increased with the number of RGO coatings, due to the increased light absorption, and better electrical properties. Moreover, the nanocomposite finished polyester fabric demonstrated proper antimicrobial properties and UV blocking activity.
