Synthesis of PVA/TiO2 Composite Layer over Conductive Textile Sheet Using Electrospinning Method for Enhancing Self-Cleaning Properties
Journal Title: International Journal of Current Science Research and Review - Year 2024, Vol 7, Issue 03
Abstract
The present research used the electrospinning method to apply a polyvinyl alcohol/titanium dioxide (PVA/TiO2) layer over a conductive textile (70 % polyester and 30 % cotton) sheet. PVA with 10, 12.5, and 15 g concentrations was mixed into 100 ml distilled water. Then, each PVA solution was mixed with 1.5 wt.% of TiO2. Afterward, the electrospinning method applied a PVA/TiO2 composite onto a conductive textile sheet. Various characterizations were conducted, such as resistivity, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transforming infrared (FTIR), and photocatalytic activity. The resistivity result is 9.5, 10, and 10 for A, B, and C samples. According to SEM investigation, higher PVA concentration leads to higher fiber sizes around 0.65 µm. An increase in PVA content does not affect the bands that were formed. The size of the fiber diameter contributed to the photocatalytic activity of MB. A smaller fiber diameter could enhance photocatalytic activity.
