Influence of Bacterial Cellulose For Synthesis and Application of Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles Compared With Sol-Gel Method
Abstract
The green synthesis process an economically cost and eco-friendly to environmental, so, Egyptian bacterial cellulose has been developed for the synthesis of titanium dioxide nanoparticles and characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) with an average particles size between 5:10 nm, where, Egyptian bacterial cellulose as reducing and capping agent without using any chemical reducing agent. The resultant TiO2 NPs/BC applied such as antibacterial action on both Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Candida albicans, self-cleaning and UV-Protection effect. This application can be evaluated after treated of different fabrics linen, viscose, blend 50/50% cotton /PET and 100% cotton by the nanoparticles of titanium dioxide (TiO2 NPs/BC) and sol-gel synthesized. These nanoparticles of titanium dioxide (TiO2 NPs) were immobilized by 3-Glycidyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GPTMS on fabrics with confirmed by FTIR, SEM/EDX and TGA .Where, the mechanical properties of treated fabrics under studies such as tensile strength (TS) and elongation (EL) at break were determined.
