“…From doping with various non-metal elements, nitrogen doping is the most effective due to its chemical, structural, and electrical properties [ 15 ]. Recently, a narrowing of the bandgap has been reported when the nitrogen doped TiO 2 (TiO 2 :N) was mixed with SiO 2 nanoparticles [ 16 ]. The resulting blend was reported to have self-cleaning properties when this was deposited onto cotton fabrics colored with methylene blue and forest fruits juice, respectively, in the presence of UV light [ 16 ].…”

Carbon nanotubes have good tensile strength and Young’s modulus, and due to their larger specific surface area, they are often used in combination with TiO 2 [ 17 ].…”

In this work, new results concerning the potential of mixtures based on nitrogen doped titanium dioxide (TiO2:N) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as possible catalyst candidates for the rhodamine B (RhB) UV photodegradation are reported. The RhB photodegradation was evaluated by UV–VIS absorption spectroscopy using samples of TiO2:N and CNTs of the type of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs), double-wall carbon nanotubes (DWNTs), multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs), and single-walled carbon nanotubes functionalized with carboxyl groups (SWNT-COOH) having various concentrations of CNTs. The best photocatalytic performance was obtained for sample containing TiO2:N and 2.5 wt.% SWNTs-COOH, when approx. 85% of dye removal was achieved after 300 min. of UV irradiation. The reaction kinetics of RhB aqueous solutions containing TiO2:N/CNT mixtures followed a complex first-order kinetic model. The TiO2:N/CNTs catalyst induced higher photodegradation efficiency of RhB than TiO2:N due to the presence of CNTs, which act as adsorbent and dispersing agent and capture the photogenerated electrons of TiO2:N hindering the electron–hole recombination.

“…Antibacterial and mildew resistance weredemonstrated by cotton fabrics treated with Ag/ZnO (3% Ag) NPs. Materescu et al [ 106 ] improved the self-cleaning properties of cotton fabrics using commercial aqueous colloidal dispersions of SiO 2 -TiO 2 nanoparticles (1:0.5; 1:1; 1:1.5). A TiO 2 /SiO 2 NPs mixture enhanced self-cleaning properties, with the highest photocatalytic activity when the molar concentration of TiO 2 /SiO 2 NPs was 1:1.…”

Nowadays, consumers understand that upgrading their traditional clothing can improve their lives. In a garment fabric, comfort and functional properties are the most important features that a wearer looks for. A variety of textile technologies are being developed to meet the needs of customers. In recent years, nanotechnology has become one of the most important areas of research. Nanotechnology’s unique and useful characteristics have led to its rapid expansion in the textile industry. In the production of high-performance textiles, various finishing, coating, and manufacturing techniques are used to produce fibers or fabrics with small nano sizes. Humans have been utilizing cotton for thousands of years, and it accounts for around 34% of all fiber production worldwide. The clothing industry, home textile industry, and healthcare industry all use it extensively. Nanotechnology can enhance cotton fabrics’ properties, including antibacterial activity, self-cleaning, UV protection, etc. Research in the field of functional cotton fabrics with nanotechnology is presented in the present study.
