Abstract

Nanotechnology has proven its importance in almost all areas, and textile industry is not an expection.The aim of the research was to explore the effect of methyl red dye, bulk/nano TiO2 and methyl red dye with bulk/nano TiO2 on antistatic and antiflammable property of commercially available textile samples. Nano TiO2 was synthesized by polyol method and characterized by X-Ray diffraction (XRD) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). From our results, it's clear that materials coated by methyl red with nano TiO2 prove to have better antistatic and antiflammable property.
