Surface Functionalization of Cotton Fabrics by Photo-Grafting for pH Sensing Applications

This paper investigates the photo-grafting of a halochromic molecule on cotton fabric surfaces. Nitrazine yellow (NY) dye was modified with a methacrylate moiety (GMA) obtaining a photo-reactive dye (GMA-NY), which was covalently grafted onto the cellulosic substrate by means of UV irradiation. The...
