Abstract:Textiles with antibacterial and antiultraviolet properties have gained significant attention because of their ability to protect the human body. This study presents the design and synthesis of a Schiff base for chitosan modified with salicylaldehyde and titanium dioxide (SCSB-Si-TiO 2 ). SCSB-Si-TiO 2 was coated onto cotton fabrics by using a layer-by-layer self-assembly method, resulting in functional cotton fabrics (SCSB-Si-TiO 2 /cotton) with excellent antibacterial and antiultraviolet properties.
