1. ABSTRACT
AnataseTiO2 prepared by an aqueous solgel process at 60 0C wasapplied to Inherent Flame retardant polyester fabric. These samples weretreated with low-pressure Plasma chamber before treatment and after treatmentwas same samples were treated with anatase TiO2 and freeformaldehyde linker. These treatments were given to these fabrics to improvetheir self-cleaning property. The self-cleaning properties, such asbactericidal activities, colorant decomposition, and degradation of red wineand coffee stains, of the anatase treated fabrics were analyzed to understandthe absorption characteristics. Since, the fabric treated with Low-pressureplasma chamber to modify the surface morphological changes of these fabrics.The adhesion between the anatase TiO2, anatase TiO2, freeformaldehyde linker, and the behavior of the fabrics were investigated.
2. INTRODUCTION
FlameRetardant fibers are those fibers, which do not propagate the flame, when thesource of ignition is removed. These are also known as FR fibers. The natural celluloseand animal fibers, generally, do not possess flame retardant characteristics,however temporary flame retardancy may be imparted to the textiles for these fibersthough application of FR finishes to the fabrics. As the clothing loses itsflame retardancy effect after a few washes, it is preferred that that flameretardant textiles can be produced from inherently flame retardant fibers,which impart permanent effect to the clothing.
