Self-Cleaning Properties of Silk Fabrics Functionalized with Tio2/Sio2 Composites

Silk fabrics were treated with TiO2/SiO2 composites using the pad-dry-cure method. TiO2/SiO2 composites were prepared through a low-temperature sol-gel method with five different TiO2:SiO2 weight ratio of 100:0, 70:30, 50:50, 30:70, and 0:100. The photocatalytic self-cleaning properties of the TiO2/...
