Dip-coating for fibrous materials: mechanism, methods and applications (2017, background): “[90] prepared spherical TiO2/SiO2 nanocomposites-coated cotton fabrics via facile dip-coating methods, and the results indicated that TiO2/SiO2 hybrid coatings exhibited better photocatalytic self-cleaning activity than pristine titanium oxide-coated cotton textiles.”
Synthesis and characterization of zinc oxide nanoparticles: application to textiles as UV-absorbers (2008, methodology): “For example nano-Ag has been used for imparting antibacterial properties (Lee et al. 2003; Dura ´n et al. 2007), nano-TiO2 for UV-blocking and self-cleaning properties (Xin et al. 2004; Fei et al. 2006; Qi et al. 2007 ) and ZnO nanoparticles for antibacterial and UV-blocking properties (Wang et al.”
Green synthesized ZnO nanoparticles against bacterial and fungal pathogens (2012, background): “As, nanosilver has been used for imparting antibacterial properties ([27,13]), nano-TiO2 and the oxides of other nano-materials like CdO and ZnO have also been reported for antibacterial properties ([56,15,33,6,53,50,16]).”
