Morphological Structures and Self-Cleaning Properties of Nano-TiO Coated Cotton Yarn at Different Washing Cycles.

Titanium dioxide (TiO) has an extraordinary photocatalytic activity and it effectively provides self-cleaning properties for cotton products. With the presence of succinic acid, it helps the adherence of the TiO nanoparticles on cotton surfaces. However, the ability of succinic acid to keep the TiO adhered on cotton after washing is not yet fully understood.
