Electrospinning of polyamide fiber containing nano TiO2 and the effect of heat, setting on self-cleaning

Abstract

This paper reports the results of an investigation aiming at finding what affect the nano TiO2 powder in electrospinnig of polyamid66. PA66 chips with 0.5% nano TiO2 was solved in formic acid and prepared for electrospinning. Spinning have been done on surface of Nylone66 fabric. Half of the treated fabric was heat setted and the other half wasn't. Then all samples were stained with dye and the photocatalytic activity of nano TiO2 has been examined under UV irradiation. Their self-cleaning property was investigated by reflectance spectrophotometer. Also SEM and TEM of nano TiO 2 with XRD test were helped to betteranalyses of the results.
