Abstract
CaCu3Ti4O12 (CCTO) nanoparticles (NPs) were screen printed on pristine cotton fabric. The CCTO-coated fabric was characterized using attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), Raman, X-ray diffraction (XRD), x-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS), and field emission-scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). The modified fabric photocatalytic antibacterial and dye-degradation abilities were assessed. After 2 h of bacterial contact, unwashed CCTO-embedded cotton reduced E. coli and S. aureus by 95.1% and 94.3%, respectively. After 20 washing cycles, the modified fabric was able to eliminate S. aureus and E. coli by more than 85%. The cloth coated with CCTO-NPs degraded the methylene blue (MB) dye by 82% in 4 h, as opposed to the pure cotton’s 11% degradation rate. The embedding of CCTO-NPs onto the cotton surface had minimal effect on fabric intrinsic properties like tensile strength, abrasion resistance, and water–vapor permeability.
