RESUMEN
This article presents some aspects of application the dispersive Micro- Raman Spectroscopy in textile fibers analysis. Research were dedicated to the methodology of surface enhancement Raman spectroscopy (SERS) studies on cotton fabric and possibility of its application in fibers characterization. Studies were carried out on dyed cotton fabrics modified by silver nanowires (AgNWs). Three reactive dyes (blue, yellow, red) and four color intensities (0.5%, 1%, 2% and 5%) were used. AgNWs colloid was deposited on undyed and dyed cotton fabrics by dipping and drying method. Dyed fabrics were examined by spectroscopic methods: FTIR ATR, Raman, UV-Vis Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy, Fluorescence Spectroscopy. Raman signal enhancement phenomena occurring on the silver nanoparticles increases the possibility of fiber and dye identification especially in the case of dyes used in cotton dyeing reveals fluorescence.
RESUMEN
A study on the hybrid functionalization of cotton and viscose fabrics using silver nanowires (AgNWs) colloid and titanium dioxide (TiO2) sol prepared in sol-gel technique was carried out. The microwave treatment was applied to change amorphous form of TiO2 to anatase. The photocatalytic activity of both cellulose fabrics was evaluated by decomposition of nicotine using new method on the basis of infrared spectroscopy. The AgNWs/TiO2 modification caused 3 and 4 times (cotton fabric) and 1.8 and 1.5 (viscose fabric) faster decomposition of nicotine under respectively UV and VIS light than for unmodified fabrics. The AgNWs/TiO2 modified cotton showed the surface resistance 1.5×103Ω and antibacterial effect against Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella pneumoniae bacteria. The same modification method gives various effects for cotton and viscose fabrics. Our study demonstrates that AgNWs/TiO2 modified cotton fabric with protective properties against bacteria can be used as conductive and air purifying materials.
