AB  - The objective of this study is to investigate the methods to create durable self-cleaning textiles by coating fabrics with
TiO2-(1%)Fe-N-graphene (2%). To improve the adherence of the nanoparticles, the polyester/cotton woven fabrics were
pre-treated with polyacrylic acid (PA), carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and polyethylene polyamine resin (EZF). The
pre-treated materials were immersed in a doped TiO2 for 30 minutes at 40oC and dried at 125oC. The finished fabrics
were stained with methylene blue dye and exposed to visible light.
The SEM images show the presence of particles on polymers layers firmly attached on the material surface. The
treatments determine the decrease of the exothermic peak (452.48oC), characteristic of the cellulose decomposition,
demonstrating an increase of the thermal conductivity of the materials. The doped TiO2-graphene induces a double
degradation of methylene blue in comparison with untreated material and the materials treated with CMC, polyacrylic
acid and cationic polymer. The effect is maintained after washing
