Specific Objectives of the Project
To achieve multifunctional properties in the fabric with an Ag-TiO2-loaded nanocomposite solution.
To achieve UV-resistant, superhydrophobic, and antimicrobial properties in polyester-cotton blended fabric and recycled cotton fabric.
To achieve excellent mechanical properties and excellent electrical conductivity.
To evaluate different functional properties (Antimicrobial, Self-Cleaning, Stain Resistance, Rust Resistance, Oil-Water Separation)
To assess the different comfort properties of the treated fabric.
