AB  - Present paper demonstrates design and characterization of a textile based microfluidic chip sensor for the detection of milk adulteration through measuring the real part of the impedance and impedance phase angle. Polyamide (PA) based textile fabric was chemically functionalized with polyaniline and titanium dioxide nanoparticles (PANI/TiO2) nanocomposite and embedded in the microfluidic chip. Prototyping of microfluidic chip was performed by xurography and hot lamination using polyvinyl chloride foils. Morphological and chemical properties of fabricated textile-based PA-PANI/TiO2 chip sensor were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Quality of milk was accessed with fabricated textile sensor using cow and goat milk samples. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was applied to detect the change in resistance and phase angle of pure and diluted milk. The developed PA-PANI/TiO2 chip sensor acted as a variable resistor that was able to identify adulterations and spoilage of the milk samples with sensitivity of 0.06 degrees of phase angle variation per % of water dilution. Our work promises that application of textile electronics could be efficiently exploited for food safety, point-of-care and environment monitoring applications.

AB  - This study discusses the possibility of fabrication of textile nanocomposites with antimicrobial activity against antibiotics-resistant bacterial strains and yeast. Modification of cotton fabric with oxalic acid solutions of different concentrations provided free carboxyl groups for binding of Cu2+ -ions from copper (II) sulfate solution which were further reduced with sodium borohydride in alkaline solution. An increase in the concentration of applied oxalic acid resulted in larger amounts of free carboxyl groups on the cotton fibers, Cu2+ -ions uptake and total amounts of Cu-based nanoparticles after reduction. XPS and XRD analyses suggested that nanoparticles mainly consisted of CuO with fractions of Cu2O. Fabricated textile nanocomposites ensured maximum reduction of Gram-negative E. coli ATCC 25922, E. coli NCTC 13846, E. coli ATCC BAA-2469, K. pneumoniae ATCC-BAA 2146 and P. aeruginosa ATCC 27853, Gram-positive bacteria S. aureus ATCC 25923 and S. aureus ATCC 43300 and yeast C. albicans ATCC 24433. Additionally, controlled release of Cu2+ -ions from fabrics into the physiological saline solution was obtained within 24 hours.

AB  - This study discusses the possibility of in situ synthesis of Cu-based nanoparticles (NPs) on cotton and viscose rayon fabrics previously modified with 1,2,3,4-butanetetracarboxylic acid (BTCA) of different concentrations, with the aim to obtain antibacterial protection. The changes in the chemical structure of the fibers caused by the modification with BTCA were assessed by FTIR spectroscopy. The higher the concentration of the applied BTCA, the larger the amounts of free carboxyl groups in both fabrics. AAS analysis showed that the samples modified with higher concentration of BTCA provided larger Cu2+-ions uptake and consequently, higher content of Cu after Cu2+-ions reduction. The presence of Cu-based NPs on the fabrics was confirmed by FESEM and EDS analyses. XRD analysis revealed that NPs appeared as a mixture of CuO and Cu2O. Synthesized NPs imparted excellent antibacterial activity to both fabrics against E. coli and S. aureus, including methicillin-resistant S. aureus.

AB  - The fabrication of antimicrobial textile nanocomposite by in situ synthesis of Cu-based nanoparticles on cotton fabrics modified with different polycarboxylic acids was discussed in this study. In order to evaluate the influence of carboxyl group content on Cu2+-ions adsorption, their subsequent reduction with sodium borohydride and formation of Cu-based nanoparticles, cotton fabrics were modified with succinic, citric and 1,2,3,4-butanetetracarboxylic acids. It was shown that the larger the number of carboxyl groups in applied acid, the larger the content of free carboxyl groups on the fibers and consequently, the larger the Cu2+-ions uptake and total amounts of Cu-based nanoparticles. On the basis of the XPS and XRD measurements, it was suggested that synthesized nanoparticles were mixture of Cu2O and CuO. Fabricated nanocomposites provided maximum reduction of Gram-negative bacterium E. coli and Gram-positive bacterium S. aureus and controlled release of Cu2+-ions in physiological saline solution which are necessary prerequisites for infection prevention.

AB  - This study discusses the biodegradation behavior of cotton and cotton/PET fabrics impregnated with Ag/TiO2 nanoparticles in soil. Biodegradation behavior was evaluated by standard test method ASTM 5988-03 based on determination of percentage conversions of carbon content to CO2 as well as by soil burial test and enzymatic hydrolysis with cellulase where the extent of biodegradation was estimated by the calculation of fabric weight loss. The morphological and chemical changes of fibers during biodegradation process were analyzed by SEM and FTIR spectroscopy, respectively. The results obtained by all applied methods suggested that Ag/TiO2 nanoparticles hindered the biodegradation of investigated cotton and cotton/PET fabrics. Soil burial test indicated faster biodegradation of the impregnated blend compared to impregnated cotton fabric which is attributed to smaller amount of fabricated Ag nanoparticles on the blend proved by MS measurement. Similar trend was established by enzymatic hydrolysis of cotton fibers. Severe damage of cotton fibers in both fabrics due to biodegradation process was confirmed by SEM. However, the cotton fiber damage occurred to a lesser extent in the samples that were impregnated with Ag/TiO2 nanoparticles. PET fibers remained intact which was also indicated by FTIR analysis.

AB  - This study discusses the possibility of in situ photoreduction of Ag+-ions on the surface of titania nanotubes (TNTs) deposited on the cotton and cotton/PET fabrics in the presence of amino acid alanine and methyl alcohol. TNTs were synthetized by hydrothermal method. The proposed interaction between titania, alanine and Ag+-ions was based on the results obtained by FTIR measurements. In order to enhance the binding efficiency between TNTs and fibers, the fabrics were previously impregnated with polyethyleneimine. The presence of TNT/Ag nanocrystals on the surface of fibers was proved by SEM, AAS, XRD and XPS. Larger amount of silver was detected on the cotton fabric. Fabricated TiO2/Ag nanocrystals provided maximum reduction of bacteria E. coli which was preserved after five washing cycles despite significant release of silver. The perspiration fastness tests indicated that silver release did not depend on pH. The presence of TNT/Ag nanocrystals imparted maximum UV protection to fabrics.

abstract = "This study discusses the biodegradation behavior of cotton and cotton/PET fabrics impregnated with Ag/TiO2 nanoparticles in soil. Biodegradation behavior was evaluated by standard test method ASTM 5988-03 based on determination of percentage conversions of carbon content to CO2 as well as by soil burial test and enzymatic hydrolysis with cellulase where the extent of biodegradation was estimated by the calculation of fabric weight loss. The morphological and chemical changes of fibers during biodegradation process were analyzed by SEM and FTIR spectroscopy, respectively. The results obtained by all applied methods suggested that Ag/TiO2 nanoparticles hindered the biodegradation of investigated cotton and cotton/PET fabrics. Soil burial test indicated faster biodegradation of the impregnated blend compared to impregnated cotton fabric which is attributed to smaller amount of fabricated Ag nanoparticles on the blend proved by MS measurement. Similar trend was established by enzymatic hydrolysis of cotton fibers. Severe damage of cotton fibers in both fabrics due to biodegradation process was confirmed by SEM. However, the cotton fiber damage occurred to a lesser extent in the samples that were impregnated with Ag/TiO2 nanoparticles. PET fibers remained intact which was also indicated by FTIR analysis.",

AB  - This study discusses the effect of corona pre-treatment at atmospheric pressure and subsequent loading of colloidal TiO2 nanoparticles on the biodegradation behavior of cotton fabric. Biodegradation performance of the control and finished samples was evaluated by standard soil burial tests in predetermined periods of 3, 9 and 18 days. Color and breaking strength measurements were utilized for assessment of biodegradation progress. Morphological and chemical changes induced by biodegradation were analysed by SEM and FT-IR analyses, respectively. Colorimetric, morphological and chemical changes induced by the biodegradation process were slightly less prominent on corona pre-treated cotton fabric impregnated with TiO2 nanoparticles compared to corona treated and control cotton fabric. Although the breaking strength of all samples significantly decreased after 18 days of soil burial, this decline was the least evident on the sample impregnated with TiO2 nanoparticles. However, taking into account the extent of these differences, the influence of TiO2 nanoparticles on biodegradation rate of cotton fabric, which underwent a combined treatment corona/impregnation with TiO2 nanoparticles, could be considered as insignificant. These results confirm that chemical modification of cotton fabrics with plasma and subsequent loading of TiO2 still maintained sustainability of cellulose fibres.

AB  - The present paper deals with removal and photocatalytic degradation of the textile dyes by TiO2 nanoparticles immobilized onto chitosan-based microparticles. The microparticles composed of chitosan (Ch) and poly(methacrylic acid) (PMA) were fabricated for the first time by inverse suspension polymerization. They were utilized for colloidal TiO2 nanoparticles immobilization, synthetized by acidic hydrolysis of TiCl4. To evaluate the potential application of Ch/PMA/TiO2 microparticles for treatment of textile wastwaters, their photocatalytic activity was examined by degradation assessment of three different groups of anionic azo dyes in aqueous solutions under solar light simulating source. FTIR analysis revealed that Ch and PMA were incorporated in the polymer network. SEM and optical microscopy confirmed their spherical shape. Under illumination, Ch/PMA/TiO2 microparticles completely removed dyes C.I. Acid Orange 7, C.I. Acid Red 18, C.I. Acid Blue 113, C.I. Reactive Black 5, C.I. Direct Blue 78, while removal degree of C.I. Reactive Yellow 17 was 75%. It was found that pH had significant influence on the photocatalytic activity of Ch/PMA/TiO2 microparticles. Increase of solution pH from acidic to alkaline, lead to decrease in photodegradation rate of C.I. Acid Orange 7 during the first hours of illumination. After three illumination cycles, removal degree of C.I. Acid Orange 7 was maintained at remarkably high level (95% at pH 5.60 and 100% at pH 2.00 and 8.00), indicating that microparticles could be reused without significant loss of photocatalytic efficiency.

AB  - An interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) based on the sodium alginate (A) and partially neutralized poly(methacrylic acid) (MAA) was prepared by free radical polymerization followed by additional cross-linking of sodium alginate with calcium ions. Obtained material (A/MAA IPN) was characterized by FTIR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and rheological measurements. Swelling behavior of synthetized IPN has been also investigated. TiO2 nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) were immobilized onto A/MAA IPN by dip-coating method and obtained TiO2/IPN nanocomposite was used for removal of the methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solution. The photodegradation (under illumination) and sorption (in the dark) processes for dye removal were monitored through decrease of dye concentration in the solution by UV/VIS spectrometer. The TiO2/IPN nanocomposite sorbed approximately 93% of the MB from a 10 mg L-1 MB solution in the dark, but no degradation occurred. Likewise, more than 93% of dye was removed after 8 h of illumination. However, after 24 h of illumination, the samples were discolored indicating that dye molecules were successfully degraded. Thus, the TiO2/IPN nanocomposite could be utilized in the photodegradation-sorption process for the abatement of pollutants in water. POLYM. ENG. SCI., 55:2511-2518, 2015.

AB  - Recently, many efforts have been made to efficiently impregnate different textile materials with metal and metal oxide nanoparticles in order to provide antimicrobial, UV protective or self-cleaning properties. Evidence of their environmental risks is limited at this point. The aim of this study was to explore the influence of Ag and TiO2 nanoparticles on biodegradation of cotton fabrics. Biodegradation behavior of cotton fabrics impregnated with Ag and TiO2 NPs from colloidal solutions of different concentrations was assessed according to standard test method ASTM 5988-03 and soil burial test. Degradation of cotton fabrics was also evaluated by enzymatic hydrolysis with cellulase. The morphology of fibers affected by biodegradation was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). In order to get better insight into biodegradation process, dehydrogenase activity of soil has been determined. Ag and particularly TiO2 nanoparticles suppressed the biodegradation of cotton fabrics. The dehydrogenase activity of soil with cotton fabrics impregnated with TiO2 nanoparticles was the weakest. Severe damage of cotton fibers during the biodegradation process was confirmed by SEM.

AB  - This study discusses the possibility of using corona pre-treated polypropylene (PP) non-woven fabric as a support for immobilization of colloidal TiO2 and Ag nanoparticles in order to remove dye C.I. Acid Orange 7 from aqueous solution. Dye removal efficiency by sonocatalysis, photocatalysis and sonophotocatalysis was evaluated on corona pre-treated fabric loaded with TiO2 nanoparticles, corona pre-treated fabric double loaded with TiO2 nanoparticles and corona pre-treated fabrics loaded with TiO2 nanoparticles before and after deposition of Ag nanoparticles. In addition, the stability of PP non-woven fabric during these processes was investigated. The substrates were characterized by SEM, EDX and AAS analyses. The change of the dye concentration was evaluated by UV-VIS spectrophotometry. Unlike sonocatalysis and photocatalysis, complete dye removal from both solution and non-woven fabric was obtained already after 240-270 min of sonophotocatalysis. Corona pre-treated PP non-woven fabric loaded with Ag nanoparticles prior to deposition of TiO2 nanoparticles provided excellent degradation efficiency and superior reusability. Sonophotocatalytic degradation of dye in the presence of all investigated samples was the most prominent in acidic conditions. Although this nanocomposite system ensured fast discoloration of dye solution, TOC values of water measured after sonophotocatalysis were not satisfactory because of PP degradation. Therefore, it is suggested to include TOC evaluation in each case study where different supports for TiO2 nanoparticles are used since these nanoparticles may guarantee the dye removal from solution but the stability of support could be problematic causing even more serious environmental impact.

AB  - The possibility of in situ photoreduction of Ag+ using colloidal TiO2 nanoparticles deposited on the surface of polyamide fabric in the presence of the amino acid alanine and methanol is discussed. The presence of TiO2/Ag nanoparticles on the polyamide fabric was confirmed by FESEM and ICP analyses. The antibacterial activity of the fabric was tested against the Gram-negative bacterium Escherichia coli and the Gram- positive bacterium Staphylococcus aureus. The TiO2/Ag nanoparticles fabricated on the surface of the polyamide fabric provided maximum bacterial reduction and thus, excellent antibacterial activity.

AB  - Polyester fibers gained significant share from all other man-made fibers, but despite numerous advantages a characteristic static electricity generation is still seeking innovative solutions. In order to improve electrical properties of poly(ethyleneterephthalate) (PET) fabric, coating consisting of polyaniline/TiO2 (PANI/TiO2) nanocomposite was deposited on its surface. Coating was synthesized in acidic medium by the chemical oxidative polymerization of aniline with ammonium peroxydisulfate CAPS) in the presence of colloidal TiO2 nanoparticles (d similar to 4.5 nm) and PET fabric. The morphology, molecular structure and dielectric properties of PANI/TiO2 nanocomposites were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Raman and dielectric spectroscopies. SEM analysis revealed the formation of non-uniform PANI coating on the reference PET sample. In contrast, uniform PANI/TiO2 coating on the surface of PET fabric was generated when TiO2 nanoparticles were engaged. The existence of conductive emeraldine salt form of PANI and phenazine units was confirmed by Raman spectroscopy. Formation mechanisms of PANI and PANI/TiO2 coatings on PET fabrics were proposed. The presence of TiO2 nanoparticles significantly affected the dielectric properties (permittivity and loss tangent) and AC conductivity of PANI/TiO2 coated PET fabrics. PET fabrics coated by PANI/TiO2 nanocomposite showed up to two orders of magnitude higher conductivity in the measured frequency region compared to PANI coated PET fabric.

AB  - This study presents contact experiments and filtration tests with nanofibre membranes containing TiO2 nanoparticles in view of effluent treatment. The first part of this study focuses on the removal of dissolved organic matter, more specifically humic acids. Removal of humic acids from secondary wastewater treatment plant effluent as well as from synthetic water solutions was tested. Also the bactericidal effect of the TiO2 functionalised nanofibre membranes was examined. Contact experiments with TiO2 functionalised membranes showed removal of humic acids (83% degradation after 2 h) and Staphylococcus aureus (4.5 log(10)/100 ml after 6 h). Also the possibility of using (TiO2 functionalised) nanofibre membranes for effluent filtration in view of water reuse, was examined. Such secondary effluent filtration tests improved water quality as a reduction in turbidity (69%), humic acids (37%) and bacterial activity (76%) was observed. It can be concluded that nanofibre membranes could be used as a high-flux filtration technique for effluent recuperation.

AB  - TiO2/hydrogel nanocomposite has been utilized for investigation of photocatalytic degradation of three different groups of anionic azo dyes in aqueous solutions under solar light simulating source in order to evaluate its potential application for treatment of textile wastewaters. Hydrogel based on chitosan, itaconic and methacrylic acid (monomers ratio Ch/IA/MAA = 1:1.56:10) was modified with synthetized 0.2 M colloidal TiO2 nanoparticles and 0.2 M commercial Degussa P-25. SEM/EDX measurements confirmed the presence of Ti in the hydrogel. TiO2 nanoparticles did not affect already formed covalent bonds within polymer network, nor did they affect its thermal stability. However, network morphology, mechanical properties and swelling behavior were changed in the presence of TiO2 nanoparticles. Under sun-like illumination, nanocomposite with immobilized colloidal TiO2 nanoparticles completely removed C.I. Acid Red 18, C.I. Acid Blue 113, C.I. Reactive Black Sand C.I.

AB  - The possibility of in situ photoreduction of Ag+-ions using TiO2 nanoparticles deposited on cotton and cotton/PET fabrics in the presence of amino acid alanine and methyl alcohol has been discussed. The possible interaction between TiO2, alanine and Ag+-ions was evaluated by FTIR analysis. The fabrication of TiO2/Ag nanoparticles on both fabrics was confirmed by SEM, EDX, XRD, XPS and AAS analyses. Cotton and cotton/PET fabrics impregnated with TiO2/Ag nanoparticles provided maximum reduction of Gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli and Gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus. Although excellent antibacterial activity was preserved after ten washing cycles, a significant amount of silver leached out from the fabrics into the washing bath. The perspiration fastness assessment revealed that smaller amounts of silver were also released from the fabrics into artificial sweat at pH 5.50 and 8.00. In addition, deposited TiO2/Ag nanoparticles imparted maximum UV protection to fabrics.

AB  - In this study, polyamide-6 (PA-6) nanofibre membranes containing TiO2 nanoparticles were successfully prepared by electrospinning. Different types of TiO2 functionalisation methods (inline functionalisation and post-functionalisation) were tested with two types of TiO2 nanoparticles. A colloidal solution consisting of TiO2 nanoparticles with average dimensions of 6 nm was prepared and the performance of these nanoparticles was compared with commercially available Degussa P25 nanoparticles. The photocatalytic activity of the nanofibre membranes functionalised with TiO2 was demonstrated with the degradation of the dye methylene blue. The results of photodegradation with methylene blue in aqueous solution demonstrated excellent photocatalytic activity of TiO2 nanoparticles immobilised in and on the nanofibrous structure. After 2 h of UV irradiation, a degradation up to 84% methylene blue was observed. This degradation further increased and resulted in a degradation up to 99% methylene blue after 6 h of illumination. A stability test of the functional materials confirmed that the TiO2 nanoparticles were successfully incorporated in and onto the electrospun PA-6 fibres. Clean water flux was measured to find out the filter efficiency of the different membranes. The functionalised membranes have a clean water-flux varying from 1.0 x 10(4) to 2.1 x 10(4) l/m(2) h bar. As such, the electrospun nanofibre membranes functionalised with TiO2 nanoparticles show a great potential as a water filter medium with an immobilised photocatalyst in view of dissolved organic matter degradation.

A colloidal solution consisting of TiO2 nanoparticles with average dimensions of 6 nm was prepared and the performance of these nanoparticles was compared with commercially available Degussa P25 nanoparticles. The photocatalytic activity of the nanofibre membranes functionalised with TiO2 was demonstrated with the degradation of the dye methylene blue. The results of photodegradation with methylene blue in aqueous solution demonstrated excellent photocatalytic activity of TiO2 nanoparticles immobilised in and on the nanofibrous structure. After 2 h of UV irradiation, a degradation up to 84% methylene blue was observed. This degradation further increased and resulted in a degradation up to 99% methylene blue after 6 h of illumination. A stability test of the functional materials confirmed that the TiO2 nanoparticles were successfully incorporated in and onto the electrospun PA-6 fibres. Clean water flux was measured to find out the filter efficiency of the different membranes. The functionalised membranes have a clean water-flux varying from 1.0 x 10(4) to 2.1 x 10(4) l/m(2) h bar. As such, the electrospun nanofibre membranes functionalised with TiO2 nanoparticles show a great potential as a water filter medium with an immobilised photocatalyst in view of dissolved organic matter degradation.",

AB  - This study discusses the possibility of in situ generation of Ag nanoparticles on polyester fabric by photoreduction of Ag+ ions with deposited TiO2 nanoparticles in the presence of amino acid alanine and methyl alcohol. The presence of TiO2/Ag nanoparticles on the polyester fiber surface was confirmed by XRD, XPS, and SEM analyses. Such nanocomposite textile material provides excellent antimicrobial activity against Gram-negative bacterium E. coli, Gram-positive bacterium S. aureus, and fungus C. albicans. Maximum microbial reduction was preserved even after ten washing cycles. In spite of satisfactory laundering durability, the release of silver occurred during washing. The leaching of silver was also present when the fabrics were exposed to artificial sweat at pH 5.5 and pH 8.0 for 24 h. In addition to excellent antimicrobial properties, TiO2/Ag nanoparticles imparted maximum UV protection to polyester fabrics.

AB  - In this study the possibility of tailoring the textile nanocomposite materials based on the polyester fabric and TiO2 nanoparticles that can simultaneously provide desirable level of antibacterial activity, UV protection, and self-cleaning effects with long-term durability was investigated. To enhance the binding efficiency of colloidal TiO2 nanoparticles, the surface of polyester fabrics was activated by low-pressure RF air plasma, and corona discharge at atmospheric pressure. Obtained functionalized textile materials provided maximum antibacterial efficiency against gram-negative bacterium E. coli. High values of UV protection factor (UPF) indicate the maximum UV blocking efficiency (50+) of these fabrics. The results of self-cleaning test with blueberry juice stains and photodegradation of methylene blue in aqueous solution confirmed excellent photocatalytic activity of TiO2 nanoparticles deposited on the fiber surface.

AB  - The objective of this study was to highlight the potential application of the corona discharge at atmospheric pressure for the surface activation of polyester (PES) fabrics in order to improve the binding efficiency of colloidal TiO2 nanoparticles. The obtained nanocomposite textile materials provide desirable level of UV protection, self-cleaning properties, and photodegradation activity. The measured UV protection factor (UPF) of fabrics corresponds to UPF rating of 50+, designating the maximum UV protection. Additionally, the total photodegradation of methylene blue in aqueous solution was achieved after 24 hr of UV illumination and this capability was preserved and even improved after four repeated cycles. The results showed that the corona treated PES fabrics loaded with TiO2 nanoparticles had considerably enhanced the overall efficiency compared to PES fabrics loaded only with TiO2 nanoparticles.

AB  - This study discusses the possibility of using a corona discharge at atmospheric pressure and air RF plasma at low pressure for the cotton fibre activation prior to deposition of colloidal TiO2 nanoparticles in order to enhance antibacterial, UV protective and self-cleaning properties. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis confirmed the presence of TiO2 nanoparticles on the surface of cotton fibres. XPS elemental mapping indicated that TiO2 nanoparticles were more evenly distributed across the surface of untreated and corona pre-treated cotton fabrics in comparison with RF plasma pre-treated fabric. Atomic absorption spectroscopy measurements revealed that the equivalent total content of TiO2 in the cotton fabrics pre-treated by corona and RF plasma was 31% higher than in the fabric that did not undergo any treatment prior to loading of TiO2 nanoparticles. In order to achieve maximum bacteria (Gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli) reduction, untreated cotton fabric had to be loaded with colloidal TiO2 nanoparticles twice, but only once following corona or RF plasma pre-treatment. Deposition of TiO2 nanoparticles onto cotton fabrics provided maximum UV protective rating of 50+. Extraordinary photocatalytic activity of TiO2 nanoparticles deposited onto cotton fabrics was proved by self-cleaning of blueberry juice stains and photodegradation of methylene blue in aqueous solution under UV illumination.

AB  - This study was aimed to investigate the possibility of engineering the multifunctional textile nanocomposite material based on the polyester fabric modified with natural polysaccharide alginate and colloidal TiO2 nanoparticles. The multifunctionality of such nanocomposite material was evaluated by analyzing its UV protection efficiency, antibacterial and photocatalytic activity. The level of UV protection was verified by the UV protection factor (UPF) of polyester fabrics. Antibacterial activity of modified polyester fabrics was tested against Gram-negative bacterium Escherichia coli. The photocatalytic activity of TiO2 nanoparticles deposited on the polyester fabrics was followed by degradation of methylene blue as a model compound in aqueous solution. Modified polyester fabrics exhibited outstanding antibacterial activity and UV protection efficiency even after five washing cycles, indicating the excellent laundering durability. The total photodegradation of methylene blue was reached after 24 h of UV illumination and this ability was preserved and even enhanced after two consecutive cycles.
