Super Wettable Poly(Ethylene Terephthalate)(PET) Fabric Modified by UV/Nano-TiO2/H2O2

The poly(ethylene terephthalate)(PET) fabric was modified by ultraviolet radiation, nano TiO2 and H2O 2 . The results showed that PET fabric could be modified to super wettable fabric, the contact angle of PET fabric irradiated by ultraviolet radiation for 50 min could decrease to 0o in 3.29 second....

Summary:The poly(ethylene terephthalate)(PET) fabric was modified by ultraviolet radiation, nano TiO2 and H2O 2 . The results showed that PET fabric could be modified to super wettable fabric, the contact angle of PET fabric irradiated by ultraviolet radiation for 50 min could decrease to 0o in 3.29 second. The Scanning electrical micrograph(SEM) showed there were lots of oxidized products on the surface of modified PET fibers. FT-IR spectra showed modified PET fiber had –COOH, and probably had –NO2. The X-ray diffraction showed the crystallinity increased greatly, and had two new diffraction peaks.
