Introduction
Due to their biodegradability sustainability and their
unique physicochemical mechanical and comfort
properties cellulose-based textile materials have received
much attention in recent years to overcome their
drawbacksless desirable properties upgrade their
performance coloration and functional properties such
as antimicrobial UV-protection self-cleaning easy careetc as well as to develop innovative cellulose-containing
fabrics for producing more appealing and highly
functional value-added textile products (Hashem

On the other hand the ever-growing consumer
demands for comfort and healthy lifestyles taking into
consideration the environmental ecological and
economical concerns make it very much desirable to
search for novel methods for practical applications based
on the implementation of innovative technologies such
as nano bio and or plasma technologies in textile
processes to have high-quality textile products with
multifunctionality and remarkable protective abilities

spectrophotometer Re1047298ectance values ( R) were used to
calculate the K S based on the Kubelka-Munk equation
(Judd amp Wyszeck 1975)
K S = [(1 ndash R)2
2 R] where R is the re1047298ectance of the
pigment print K and S are the absorption and scattering
coef 1047297cient respectively

Results and discussion
This study focused on the technical feasibility of
functional 1047297nishing and pigment printing of cotton and
viscose cellulosic fabrics via incorporation of TiO2-NPs
as antibacterialUV-blocking agent into the pigment
printing pastes along with other ingredients like
thickening binding 1047297xing softening and catalyzing
agents Results obtained along with appropriate
discussion follows
Binding agent
As far as the change in the depth of the obtained
pigment prints expressed as K S values as a function of
the type of binding agent and for a given printing
formulation and 1047297xation condition Figure 2 illustrates
that (i) the K S values of the obtained pigment prints is
governed by type of the binding agent and follows the
descending order Alcoprintreg PB-55 ˃ Printo1047297xreg Binder
86 ˃ GBinderreg FMD ˃ Printo1047297xreg Binder MTB
regardless of the used substrate (ii) the highest binding
ability of Alcoprintreg PB among all the nominated
binding agents re1047298ects the positive effects of its chemical
structure 1047297lm forming properties binding capacity andability to interact with other ingredients during the
microwave-1047297xation step to form a three-dimensional

nature of the cellulosic substrate cotton˃ viscose
keeping other parameters constant and (iv) these results
clearly show the differences between the nominated
cellulosic substrates in fabric weight thickness and
porosity surface area crystallineamorphous region
cellulosicnon-cellulosic components degree of undue
penetration into andor deposition onto fabric structure
and extent of 1047297xation of pigment particles ontowithin
the binder 1047297lmcellulose matrix during the thermo1047297xation
step (Ibrahim Abo-Shosha Gaffar Elshafei amp
Abdel-Fatah 2006 Ibrahim et al 2012 2013) It could be concluded that the best binding agent for attaining the
highest K S values is Alcoprintreg PB
TiO2-NPs concentration
Figure 3(a) shows the effect of inclusion of TiO2- NPrsquos
(0 ndash 20 gkg) into the printing paste on the K S values of
the obtained cotton and viscose pigment prints For a
given set of pigment printing formulation using
Alcoprintreg PB as a binding agent along with other
constituents and subsequent microwave 1047297xation
Figure 3(a) demonstrates that (i) increasing TiO2-NPs
concentration up to (15 gkg) in the printing paste is
accompanied by an improvement in the K S values of
the printed substrates up to 1430 for cotton and 1375
for viscose which re1047298ects the positive role of TiO2-NPs
in enhancing 1047297lm-forming properties of the used binder
extent of polymerization network and consequently
improved the extent of loading and 1047297xation of pigment
particles ontowithin the binderfabric matrix during themicrowave-1047297xation step taking into consideration the
photo-catalytic activity of TiO2-NPs (Ibrahim et al
2013 Nagari Montazer amp Rahimi 2009 Radetić
2013) Further increase in TiO2-NPs concentration up to
20 gkg has practically no or marginal positive impact on
the depth of the obtained pigment prints The K S values
of the obtained prints follow the descending order
cotton ˃ viscose as discussed earlier
Figure 4 SEM images of untreated TiO2-NPrsquos treated cotton fabric along with EDX image and element content of TiO2-NPrsquos-loaded cotton fabric (a b c) respectively and SEM images of untreated TiO 2-NPrsquos treated viscose fabric along with EDX image
and element content of TiO2-NPrsquos-loaded viscose fabric (d e f) respectively

Figure 3(b) shows the UV blocking ability expressed
as UPF value of the obtained pigment prints as a
function of TiO2-NPs concentration in the pigment
pastes It is clear that increasing TiO2-NPs concentration
up to (15 gkg) is accompanied by a remarkable increase
in the UPF values of cotton (up to 42) and viscose prints
(up to 34) possibly because the ability of the loaded
TiO2-NPs to refractblock andor scatter most of the
incoming harmful UV rays thereby enhancing the UV-
blocking ef 1047297ciency (Abidi Hequet Tarimala amp Dai
2007 Ibrahim et al 2013 Radetić 2013) The results
also show that the UV-shielding capacity is governed by
the type of the substrate and follows the descending
order cotton pigment prints˃
viscose pigment printsmost probably due to the differences between the used
cellulosic substrates in thickness surface morphology
cover factor depth of shade location and extent of
distribution of the immobilized TiO2-NPs onto andor
within the fabric substrate (Ibrahim et al 2012 2012)
On the other hand pigment printing of cotton and
viscose in the absence of TiO2-NPs brings about a
reasonable improvement in their UPF values from ˂10
up to 22 for cotton and 14 for viscose prints which
re1047298ects the positive role of the used pigment in
absorbing the harmful UV radiation (Ibahim et al
2013) Moreover the remarkable improvement in the
UV-protective properties by adding TiO2-NPs to the pigment colorant re1047298ects the synergistic effect of both
Also it could be noticed that the optimum TiO2-NPs
concentration is 15 gkg as demonstrated in Figure 3(b)
Figure 3(c) shows that (i) control sample without
TiO2-NPs exhibited no zone of inhibition for G+ve and
Gminusve bacteria (ii) increasing TiO2-NPs concentration up
to 15 gkg in the printing paste results in a signi1047297cant
improvement in the antibacterial ef 1047297cacy of the obtained
prints irrespective of the used substrate (iii) the
remarkable improvement in the antibacterial activity of
TiO2-NPs- loaded pigment prints is attributed to the
photo-catalytic action of TiO2-NPs and generation of
many reactive oxygen species such as OH O
2 and
H2O2 which are capable of attacking both the cell wall
and cell membrane thereby leading to loss of cell
viability and eventually causing the bacterial cell death
(Ibrahim et al 2013 Nagari et al 2009 Radetić 2013)
(iv) the imparted antibacterial functionality to the
nominated substrates follows the descending order
viscose ˃ cotton prints as a direct consequence of their
difference in the extent of deposition location and
distribution of the antibacterial agent ie TiO2-NPs
intoonto the printed substrates (v) the antibacterialactivity of the modi1047297ed prints against the nominated
G+ve and Gminusve bacteria follows the descending order
G+ve ˃ Gminusve most probably due to the differences in
their cell wall as well as ability to offer enough
protection against the photo-catalytic activity of TiO2-
NPs (Ibrahim et al 2013 Radetić 2013 Tayel et al
2011) and (vi) further increase in TiO2-NPs
concentration enhances slightly the imparted antibacterial
functionality
Binderpigment ratio
Within the range examined the data presented in Table 2reveal that increasing binderpigment ratio from 7510 up
to 10020 gkg is accompanied by a remarkable
improvement in the extent of pigment 1047297xation expressed
as K S values and TiO2-NPs immobilization thereby
upgrading both the functional and coloration properties
of the obtained pigments without affecting their fastness
properties irrespective of the used substrate The
enhancement in the aforementioned properties can be
attributed to better 1047297lm-forming properties proper

accommodation entrapment and 1047297xation of more
pigment particles better immobilization and 1047297xation of
TiO2-NPs (Ibahim et al 2013) The net effect of these
factors is better depth of shades antibacterial and UV-
protective functional properties Further increase in
binderpigment ratio up to 12530 gkg led to areasonable increase in K S Ti-content ZI UPF and light
fastness along with a slight decrease in WF and RF
values regardless of the used substrate The slight
improvement in LF properties re1047298ects the positive
impact of TiO2-NPs as a UV-blocking agentUV light-

pigment molecules under the applied conditions (Ibrahim
et al 2013)
SEM images and EDX spectra
The SEM images and the corresponding EDX spectra of
cotton prints Figure 4((a) ndash
(c)) and viscose printsFigure 4 ((d) ndash (f)) signify that (i) pigment printing of the
aforementioned cellulosic substrates leads to change in
their surface morphology (ii) the extent of change is
determined by its type as well as amount location and
extent of distribution of the loaded pigment particles
and immobilized TiO2-NPs and (iii) the EDX spectra
show more loading of TiO2-NPs as well as silicone
softener onto the surface of the bifunctionalized-viscose
prints expressed as Ti- and Si-weight percentage in
comparison with the modi1047297ed cotton pigment prints
Pigment colorantsThe ability of TiO2-NPs to enhance both the functional
and coloration properties of cotton and viscose cellulosic
fabrics using various pigment colorants along with other
nominated printing paste constituents and microwave-
1047297xation technique is demonstrated in Table 3 The data
show the following common features (i) addition of
TiO2-NPs (15 gkg) to the printing paste constituents
enhances the K S and fastness properties and remarkably
improves the imparted antibacterial and anti-UV
functional properties (ii) the enhancement of K S values
follows the descending order cotton prints ˃ viscose
prints (iii) the improvement in antibacterial activity
follows the descending order viscose prints ˃ cotton
prints (iv) the improvement in the anti-UV capacity
follows the descending order cotton prints ˃ viscose
prints keeping other parameters constant (v) the extent
of enhancement in coloration and functionalization
properties especially the UV-shielding capacity is
determined by the type of the pigment colorant and its
UV-light absorption capacity and (vi) functionalized
pigment prints showed very suf 1047297cient bifunctional
properties along with darker depth of shades even after
15 washings compared with the unmodi1047297ed ones
Table 3
Conclusion
A novel approach for upgrading the antibacterialUV- blocking and pigment coloration properties of
cotton and viscose fabrics using pad-dry microwave
1047297xation regime was investigated The obtained results
revealed that
bull Incorporation of TiO2-nano sol (up to 15 gkg) into
the pigment printing paste results in
bifunctionalization of the obtained pigment prints
bull The enhancement in the imparted antibacterial and
UV-blocking properties is governed by the type of
substrate type and concentration of binding agent
pigment colorant as well as on the extent of
immobilization and location of TiO2-NPs alongwith degree of 1047297xation of pigment particles onto
within the binder 1047297lmfabric matrix
bull 15 consecutive home laundry cycles bring about a
reasonable decrease in the imparted functional and
coloration properties

in the surface morphology as well as the loading
of TiO2-NPs onto prints surface

All-in pigment printing method
Guide formulation for solvent-free pigment printing and
functional 1047297nishing of cotton and viscose cellulosic
fabrics was carried out using 1047298at screen technique
(Table 1)
Pigment prints were then simultaneously dried and
thermo1047297xed in a commercial microwave oven with an
output power of 386 W for 5 min (as more rapid
uniform and ef 1047297cient tool for reducing heat transfer
problems) followed by washing
MeasurementsThe depth of the obtained pigment prints expressed as
K S values was measured using an automatic 1047297lter
spectrophotometer Re1047298ectance values ( R) were used to
calculate the K S based on the Kubelka-Munk equation
(Judd amp Wyszeck 1975)
K S = [(1 ndash R)2
2 R] where R is the re1047298ectance of the
pigment print K and S are the absorption and scattering

Results and discussion
This study focused on the technical feasibility of
functional 1047297nishing and pigment printing of cotton and
viscose cellulosic fabrics via incorporation of TiO2-NPs
as antibacterialUV-blocking agent into the pigment
printing pastes along with other ingredients like
thickening binding 1047297xing softening and catalyzing
agents Results obtained along with appropriate
discussion follows
Binding agent
As far as the change in the depth of the obtained
pigment prints expressed as K S values as a function of
the type of binding agent and for a given printing
formulation and 1047297xation condition Figure 2 illustrates
that (i) the K S values of the obtained pigment prints is
governed by type of the binding agent and follows the
descending order Alcoprintreg PB-55 ˃ Printo1047297xreg Binder

regardless of the used substrate (ii) the highest binding

binding agents re1047298ects the positive effects of its chemical
structure 1047297lm forming properties binding capacity andability to interact with other ingredients during the

and extent of 1047297xation of pigment particles ontowithin

step (Ibrahim Abo-Shosha Gaffar Elshafei amp
Abdel-Fatah 2006 Ibrahim et al 2012 2013) It could be concluded that the best binding agent for attaining the
highest K S values is Alcoprintreg PB
TiO2-NPs concentration
Figure 3(a) shows the effect of inclusion of TiO2- NPrsquos
(0 ndash 20 gkg) into the printing paste on the K S values of
the obtained cotton and viscose pigment prints For a
given set of pigment printing formulation using
Alcoprintreg PB as a binding agent along with other
constituents and subsequent microwave 1047297xation
Figure 3(a) demonstrates that (i) increasing TiO2-NPs
concentration up to (15 gkg) in the printing paste is
accompanied by an improvement in the K S values of
the printed substrates up to 1430 for cotton and 1375
for viscose which re1047298ects the positive role of TiO2-NPs
in enhancing 1047297lm-forming properties of the used binder
extent of polymerization network and consequently
improved the extent of loading and 1047297xation of pigment
particles ontowithin the binderfabric matrix during themicrowave-1047297xation step taking into consideration the
photo-catalytic activity of TiO2-NPs (Ibrahim et al
2013 Nagari Montazer amp Rahimi 2009 Radetić
2013) Further increase in TiO2-NPs concentration up to
20 gkg has practically no or marginal positive impact on
the depth of the obtained pigment prints The K S values
of the obtained prints follow the descending order
cotton ˃ viscose as discussed earlier

Figure 3(b) shows the UV blocking ability expressed
as UPF value of the obtained pigment prints as a
function of TiO2-NPs concentration in the pigment
pastes It is clear that increasing TiO2-NPs concentration
up to (15 gkg) is accompanied by a remarkable increase
in the UPF values of cotton (up to 42) and viscose prints
(up to 34) possibly because the ability of the loaded
TiO2-NPs to refractblock andor scatter most of the
incoming harmful UV rays thereby enhancing the UV-
blocking ef 1047297ciency (Abidi Hequet Tarimala amp Dai
2007 Ibrahim et al 2013 Radetić 2013) The results
also show that the UV-shielding capacity is governed by
the type of the substrate and follows the descending
order cotton pigment prints˃
viscose pigment printsmost probably due to the differences between the used
cellulosic substrates in thickness surface morphology
cover factor depth of shade location and extent of
distribution of the immobilized TiO2-NPs onto andor
within the fabric substrate (Ibrahim et al 2012 2012)
On the other hand pigment printing of cotton and
viscose in the absence of TiO2-NPs brings about a
reasonable improvement in their UPF values from ˂10
up to 22 for cotton and 14 for viscose prints which
re1047298ects the positive role of the used pigment in
absorbing the harmful UV radiation (Ibahim et al
2013) Moreover the remarkable improvement in the
UV-protective properties by adding TiO2-NPs to the pigment colorant re1047298ects the synergistic effect of both
Also it could be noticed that the optimum TiO2-NPs
concentration is 15 gkg as demonstrated in Figure 3(b)
Figure 3(c) shows that (i) control sample without
TiO2-NPs exhibited no zone of inhibition for G+ve and
Gminusve bacteria (ii) increasing TiO2-NPs concentration up
to 15 gkg in the printing paste results in a signi1047297cant
improvement in the antibacterial ef 1047297cacy of the obtained
prints irrespective of the used substrate (iii) the
remarkable improvement in the antibacterial activity of
TiO2-NPs- loaded pigment prints is attributed to the
photo-catalytic action of TiO2-NPs and generation of
many reactive oxygen species such as OH O
2 and
H2O2 which are capable of attacking both the cell wall
and cell membrane thereby leading to loss of cell
viability and eventually causing the bacterial cell death
(Ibrahim et al 2013 Nagari et al 2009 Radetić 2013)
(iv) the imparted antibacterial functionality to the
nominated substrates follows the descending order
viscose ˃ cotton prints as a direct consequence of their
difference in the extent of deposition location and
distribution of the antibacterial agent ie TiO2-NPs
intoonto the printed substrates (v) the antibacterialactivity of the modi1047297ed prints against the nominated
G+ve and Gminusve bacteria follows the descending order
G+ve ˃ Gminusve most probably due to the differences in
their cell wall as well as ability to offer enough
protection against the photo-catalytic activity of TiO2-
NPs (Ibrahim et al 2013 Radetić 2013 Tayel et al
2011) and (vi) further increase in TiO2-NPs
concentration enhances slightly the imparted antibacterial
functionality
Binderpigment ratio
Within the range examined the data presented in Table 2reveal that increasing binderpigment ratio from 7510 up
to 10020 gkg is accompanied by a remarkable
improvement in the extent of pigment 1047297xation expressed
as K S values and TiO2-NPs immobilization thereby
upgrading both the functional and coloration properties
of the obtained pigments without affecting their fastness
properties irrespective of the used substrate The
enhancement in the aforementioned properties can be
attributed to better 1047297lm-forming properties proper

formation of a three-dimensional linked network higher
accommodation entrapment and 1047297xation of more
pigment particles better immobilization and 1047297xation of
TiO2-NPs (Ibahim et al 2013) The net effect of these
factors is better depth of shades antibacterial and UV-
protective functional properties Further increase in
binderpigment ratio up to 12530 gkg led to areasonable increase in K S Ti-content ZI UPF and light
fastness along with a slight decrease in WF and RF
values regardless of the used substrate The slight
improvement in LF properties re1047298ects the positive
impact of TiO2-NPs as a UV-blocking agentUV light-
absorption capacity as well as better agglomeration of
pigment molecules under the applied conditions (Ibrahim
et al 2013)
SEM images and EDX spectra
The SEM images and the corresponding EDX spectra of
cotton prints Figure 4((a) ndash
(c)) and viscose printsFigure 4 ((d) ndash (f)) signify that (i) pigment printing of the
aforementioned cellulosic substrates leads to change in
their surface morphology (ii) the extent of change is
determined by its type as well as amount location and
extent of distribution of the loaded pigment particles
and immobilized TiO2-NPs and (iii) the EDX spectra
show more loading of TiO2-NPs as well as silicone
softener onto the surface of the bifunctionalized-viscose
prints expressed as Ti- and Si-weight percentage in
comparison with the modi1047297ed cotton pigment prints
Pigment colorantsThe ability of TiO2-NPs to enhance both the functional
and coloration properties of cotton and viscose cellulosic
fabrics using various pigment colorants along with other
nominated printing paste constituents and microwave-
1047297xation technique is demonstrated in Table 3 The data
show the following common features (i) addition of
TiO2-NPs (15 gkg) to the printing paste constituents
enhances the K S and fastness properties and remarkably
improves the imparted antibacterial and anti-UV
functional properties (ii) the enhancement of K S values
follows the descending order cotton prints ˃ viscose
prints (iii) the improvement in antibacterial activity
follows the descending order viscose prints ˃ cotton
prints (iv) the improvement in the anti-UV capacity
follows the descending order cotton prints ˃ viscose
prints keeping other parameters constant (v) the extent
of enhancement in coloration and functionalization
properties especially the UV-shielding capacity is
determined by the type of the pigment colorant and its
UV-light absorption capacity and (vi) functionalized
pigment prints showed very suf 1047297cient bifunctional
properties along with darker depth of shades even after
15 washings compared with the unmodi1047297ed ones
Table 3
Conclusion
A novel approach for upgrading the antibacterialUV- blocking and pigment coloration properties of
cotton and viscose fabrics using pad-dry microwave
1047297xation regime was investigated The obtained results
revealed that
bull Incorporation of TiO2-nano sol (up to 15 gkg) into
the pigment printing paste results in
bifunctionalization of the obtained pigment prints
bull The enhancement in the imparted antibacterial and
UV-blocking properties is governed by the type of
substrate type and concentration of binding agent
pigment colorant as well as on the extent of
immobilization and location of TiO2-NPs alongwith degree of 1047297xation of pigment particles onto
within the binder 1047297lmfabric matrix
bull 15 consecutive home laundry cycles bring about a
reasonable decrease in the imparted functional and
coloration properties
bull SEM images and EDX spectra con1047297rm the change
in the surface morphology as well as the loading
of TiO2-NPs onto prints surface

Methods
TiO2-NPs preparation
TiO2-NPs (average molecular size asymp5 nm Figure 1)
were prepared as previously reported using sol ndash gel
nanosynthesis technique Ti-tetraisopropoxide as
precursor along with 2-propanol and nitric acid (Bozzi
Yuranova amp Kiwi 2005 Ibrahim et al 2012)
All-in pigment printing method
Guide formulation for solvent-free pigment printing and
functional 1047297nishing of cotton and viscose cellulosic
fabrics was carried out using 1047298at screen technique
(Table 1)
Pigment prints were then simultaneously dried and
thermo1047297xed in a commercial microwave oven with an
output power of 386 W for 5 min (as more rapid
uniform and ef 1047297cient tool for reducing heat transfer
problems) followed by washing

Results and discussion
This study focused on the technical feasibility of
functional 1047297nishing and pigment printing of cotton and
viscose cellulosic fabrics via incorporation of TiO2-NPs
as antibacterialUV-blocking agent into the pigment
printing pastes along with other ingredients like
thickening binding 1047297xing softening and catalyzing
agents Results obtained along with appropriate
discussion follows
Binding agent
As far as the change in the depth of the obtained
pigment prints expressed as K S values as a function of
the type of binding agent and for a given printing
formulation and 1047297xation condition Figure 2 illustrates
that (i) the K S values of the obtained pigment prints is
governed by type of the binding agent and follows the
descending order Alcoprintreg PB-55 ˃ Printo1047297xreg Binder

keeping other parameters constant and (iv) these results
clearly show the differences between the nominated
cellulosic substrates in fabric weight thickness and
porosity surface area crystallineamorphous region
cellulosicnon-cellulosic components degree of undue
penetration into andor deposition onto fabric structure
and extent of 1047297xation of pigment particles ontowithin
the binder 1047297lmcellulose matrix during the thermo1047297xation
step (Ibrahim Abo-Shosha Gaffar Elshafei amp
Abdel-Fatah 2006 Ibrahim et al 2012 2013) It could be concluded that the best binding agent for attaining the
highest K S values is Alcoprintreg PB
TiO2-NPs concentration
Figure 3(a) shows the effect of inclusion of TiO2- NPrsquos
(0 ndash 20 gkg) into the printing paste on the K S values of
the obtained cotton and viscose pigment prints For a
given set of pigment printing formulation using
Alcoprintreg PB as a binding agent along with other
constituents and subsequent microwave 1047297xation
Figure 3(a) demonstrates that (i) increasing TiO2-NPs
concentration up to (15 gkg) in the printing paste is
accompanied by an improvement in the K S values of
the printed substrates up to 1430 for cotton and 1375
for viscose which re1047298ects the positive role of TiO2-NPs
in enhancing 1047297lm-forming properties of the used binder
extent of polymerization network and consequently
improved the extent of loading and 1047297xation of pigment
particles ontowithin the binderfabric matrix during themicrowave-1047297xation step taking into consideration the
photo-catalytic activity of TiO2-NPs (Ibrahim et al
2013 Nagari Montazer amp Rahimi 2009 Radetić
2013) Further increase in TiO2-NPs concentration up to
20 gkg has practically no or marginal positive impact on
the depth of the obtained pigment prints The K S values
of the obtained prints follow the descending order
cotton ˃ viscose as discussed earlier

Figure 3(b) shows the UV blocking ability expressed
as UPF value of the obtained pigment prints as a
function of TiO2-NPs concentration in the pigment
pastes It is clear that increasing TiO2-NPs concentration
up to (15 gkg) is accompanied by a remarkable increase
in the UPF values of cotton (up to 42) and viscose prints
(up to 34) possibly because the ability of the loaded
TiO2-NPs to refractblock andor scatter most of the
incoming harmful UV rays thereby enhancing the UV-
blocking ef 1047297ciency (Abidi Hequet Tarimala amp Dai
2007 Ibrahim et al 2013 Radetić 2013) The results
also show that the UV-shielding capacity is governed by
the type of the substrate and follows the descending
order cotton pigment prints˃
viscose pigment printsmost probably due to the differences between the used
cellulosic substrates in thickness surface morphology
cover factor depth of shade location and extent of
distribution of the immobilized TiO2-NPs onto andor
within the fabric substrate (Ibrahim et al 2012 2012)
On the other hand pigment printing of cotton and
viscose in the absence of TiO2-NPs brings about a
reasonable improvement in their UPF values from ˂10
up to 22 for cotton and 14 for viscose prints which
re1047298ects the positive role of the used pigment in
absorbing the harmful UV radiation (Ibahim et al
2013) Moreover the remarkable improvement in the
UV-protective properties by adding TiO2-NPs to the pigment colorant re1047298ects the synergistic effect of both
Also it could be noticed that the optimum TiO2-NPs
concentration is 15 gkg as demonstrated in Figure 3(b)
Figure 3(c) shows that (i) control sample without
TiO2-NPs exhibited no zone of inhibition for G+ve and
Gminusve bacteria (ii) increasing TiO2-NPs concentration up
to 15 gkg in the printing paste results in a signi1047297cant
improvement in the antibacterial ef 1047297cacy of the obtained
prints irrespective of the used substrate (iii) the
remarkable improvement in the antibacterial activity of
TiO2-NPs- loaded pigment prints is attributed to the
photo-catalytic action of TiO2-NPs and generation of
many reactive oxygen species such as OH O
2 and
H2O2 which are capable of attacking both the cell wall
and cell membrane thereby leading to loss of cell
viability and eventually causing the bacterial cell death
(Ibrahim et al 2013 Nagari et al 2009 Radetić 2013)
(iv) the imparted antibacterial functionality to the
nominated substrates follows the descending order
viscose ˃ cotton prints as a direct consequence of their
difference in the extent of deposition location and
distribution of the antibacterial agent ie TiO2-NPs
intoonto the printed substrates (v) the antibacterialactivity of the modi1047297ed prints against the nominated
G+ve and Gminusve bacteria follows the descending order
G+ve ˃ Gminusve most probably due to the differences in
their cell wall as well as ability to offer enough
protection against the photo-catalytic activity of TiO2-
NPs (Ibrahim et al 2013 Radetić 2013 Tayel et al
2011) and (vi) further increase in TiO2-NPs
concentration enhances slightly the imparted antibacterial
functionality
Binderpigment ratio
Within the range examined the data presented in Table 2reveal that increasing binderpigment ratio from 7510 up
to 10020 gkg is accompanied by a remarkable
improvement in the extent of pigment 1047297xation expressed
as K S values and TiO2-NPs immobilization thereby
upgrading both the functional and coloration properties
of the obtained pigments without affecting their fastness
properties irrespective of the used substrate The
enhancement in the aforementioned properties can be
attributed to better 1047297lm-forming properties proper

formation of a three-dimensional linked network higher
accommodation entrapment and 1047297xation of more
pigment particles better immobilization and 1047297xation of
TiO2-NPs (Ibahim et al 2013) The net effect of these
factors is better depth of shades antibacterial and UV-
protective functional properties Further increase in
binderpigment ratio up to 12530 gkg led to areasonable increase in K S Ti-content ZI UPF and light
fastness along with a slight decrease in WF and RF
values regardless of the used substrate The slight
improvement in LF properties re1047298ects the positive
impact of TiO2-NPs as a UV-blocking agentUV light-
absorption capacity as well as better agglomeration of
pigment molecules under the applied conditions (Ibrahim
et al 2013)
SEM images and EDX spectra
The SEM images and the corresponding EDX spectra of
cotton prints Figure 4((a) ndash
(c)) and viscose printsFigure 4 ((d) ndash (f)) signify that (i) pigment printing of the
aforementioned cellulosic substrates leads to change in
their surface morphology (ii) the extent of change is
determined by its type as well as amount location and
extent of distribution of the loaded pigment particles
and immobilized TiO2-NPs and (iii) the EDX spectra
show more loading of TiO2-NPs as well as silicone
softener onto the surface of the bifunctionalized-viscose
prints expressed as Ti- and Si-weight percentage in
comparison with the modi1047297ed cotton pigment prints
Pigment colorantsThe ability of TiO2-NPs to enhance both the functional
and coloration properties of cotton and viscose cellulosic
fabrics using various pigment colorants along with other
nominated printing paste constituents and microwave-
1047297xation technique is demonstrated in Table 3 The data
show the following common features (i) addition of
TiO2-NPs (15 gkg) to the printing paste constituents
enhances the K S and fastness properties and remarkably
improves the imparted antibacterial and anti-UV
functional properties (ii) the enhancement of K S values
follows the descending order cotton prints ˃ viscose
prints (iii) the improvement in antibacterial activity
follows the descending order viscose prints ˃ cotton
prints (iv) the improvement in the anti-UV capacity
follows the descending order cotton prints ˃ viscose
prints keeping other parameters constant (v) the extent
of enhancement in coloration and functionalization
properties especially the UV-shielding capacity is
determined by the type of the pigment colorant and its
UV-light absorption capacity and (vi) functionalized
pigment prints showed very suf 1047297cient bifunctional
properties along with darker depth of shades even after
15 washings compared with the unmodi1047297ed ones

Conclusion
A novel approach for upgrading the antibacterialUV- blocking and pigment coloration properties of
cotton and viscose fabrics using pad-dry microwave
1047297xation regime was investigated The obtained results
revealed that
bull Incorporation of TiO2-nano sol (up to 15 gkg) into
the pigment printing paste results in
bifunctionalization of the obtained pigment prints
bull The enhancement in the imparted antibacterial and
UV-blocking properties is governed by the type of
substrate type and concentration of binding agent
pigment colorant as well as on the extent of
immobilization and location of TiO2-NPs alongwith degree of 1047297xation of pigment particles onto
within the binder 1047297lmfabric matrix
bull 15 consecutive home laundry cycles bring about a
reasonable decrease in the imparted functional and
coloration properties

in the surface morphology as well as the loading
of TiO2-NPs onto prints surface

Laundering durability was performed to evaluate the
stability of the obtained UV-protection properties
according to ASTM standard test method (D737-96)
Results and discussion
This study focused on the technical feasibility of
functional 1047297nishing and pigment printing of cotton and
viscose cellulosic fabrics via incorporation of TiO2-NPs
as antibacterialUV-blocking agent into the pigment
printing pastes along with other ingredients like
thickening binding 1047297xing softening and catalyzing
agents Results obtained along with appropriate
discussion follows
Binding agent
As far as the change in the depth of the obtained
pigment prints expressed as K S values as a function of
the type of binding agent and for a given printing
formulation and 1047297xation condition Figure 2 illustrates
that (i) the K S values of the obtained pigment prints is
governed by type of the binding agent and follows the
descending order Alcoprintreg PB-55 ˃ Printo1047297xreg Binder
86 ˃ GBinderreg FMD ˃ Printo1047297xreg Binder MTB

binding agents re1047298ects the positive effects of its chemical
structure 1047297lm forming properties binding capacity andability to interact with other ingredients during the
microwave-1047297xation step to form a three-dimensional

nature of the cellulosic substrate cotton˃ viscose
keeping other parameters constant and (iv) these results
clearly show the differences between the nominated
cellulosic substrates in fabric weight thickness and
porosity surface area crystallineamorphous region
cellulosicnon-cellulosic components degree of undue
penetration into andor deposition onto fabric structure
and extent of 1047297xation of pigment particles ontowithin
the binder 1047297lmcellulose matrix during the thermo1047297xation
step (Ibrahim Abo-Shosha Gaffar Elshafei amp
Abdel-Fatah 2006 Ibrahim et al 2012 2013) It could be concluded that the best binding agent for attaining the
highest K S values is Alcoprintreg PB
TiO2-NPs concentration
Figure 3(a) shows the effect of inclusion of TiO2- NPrsquos
(0 ndash 20 gkg) into the printing paste on the K S values of
the obtained cotton and viscose pigment prints For a
given set of pigment printing formulation using
Alcoprintreg PB as a binding agent along with other
constituents and subsequent microwave 1047297xation
Figure 3(a) demonstrates that (i) increasing TiO2-NPs
concentration up to (15 gkg) in the printing paste is
accompanied by an improvement in the K S values of
the printed substrates up to 1430 for cotton and 1375
for viscose which re1047298ects the positive role of TiO2-NPs
in enhancing 1047297lm-forming properties of the used binder
extent of polymerization network and consequently
improved the extent of loading and 1047297xation of pigment
particles ontowithin the binderfabric matrix during themicrowave-1047297xation step taking into consideration the
photo-catalytic activity of TiO2-NPs (Ibrahim et al
2013 Nagari Montazer amp Rahimi 2009 Radetić
2013) Further increase in TiO2-NPs concentration up to
20 gkg has practically no or marginal positive impact on
the depth of the obtained pigment prints The K S values
of the obtained prints follow the descending order
cotton ˃ viscose as discussed earlier
Figure 4 SEM images of untreated TiO2-NPrsquos treated cotton fabric along with EDX image and element content of TiO2-NPrsquos-loaded cotton fabric (a b c) respectively and SEM images of untreated TiO 2-NPrsquos treated viscose fabric along with EDX image
and element content of TiO2-NPrsquos-loaded viscose fabric (d e f) respectively

Figure 3(b) shows the UV blocking ability expressed
as UPF value of the obtained pigment prints as a
function of TiO2-NPs concentration in the pigment
pastes It is clear that increasing TiO2-NPs concentration
up to (15 gkg) is accompanied by a remarkable increase
in the UPF values of cotton (up to 42) and viscose prints
(up to 34) possibly because the ability of the loaded
TiO2-NPs to refractblock andor scatter most of the
incoming harmful UV rays thereby enhancing the UV-
blocking ef 1047297ciency (Abidi Hequet Tarimala amp Dai
2007 Ibrahim et al 2013 Radetić 2013) The results
also show that the UV-shielding capacity is governed by
the type of the substrate and follows the descending
order cotton pigment prints˃
viscose pigment printsmost probably due to the differences between the used
cellulosic substrates in thickness surface morphology
cover factor depth of shade location and extent of
distribution of the immobilized TiO2-NPs onto andor
within the fabric substrate (Ibrahim et al 2012 2012)
On the other hand pigment printing of cotton and
viscose in the absence of TiO2-NPs brings about a
reasonable improvement in their UPF values from ˂10
up to 22 for cotton and 14 for viscose prints which
re1047298ects the positive role of the used pigment in
absorbing the harmful UV radiation (Ibahim et al
2013) Moreover the remarkable improvement in the
UV-protective properties by adding TiO2-NPs to the pigment colorant re1047298ects the synergistic effect of both
Also it could be noticed that the optimum TiO2-NPs
concentration is 15 gkg as demonstrated in Figure 3(b)
Figure 3(c) shows that (i) control sample without
TiO2-NPs exhibited no zone of inhibition for G+ve and
Gminusve bacteria (ii) increasing TiO2-NPs concentration up
to 15 gkg in the printing paste results in a signi1047297cant
improvement in the antibacterial ef 1047297cacy of the obtained
prints irrespective of the used substrate (iii) the
remarkable improvement in the antibacterial activity of
TiO2-NPs- loaded pigment prints is attributed to the
photo-catalytic action of TiO2-NPs and generation of
many reactive oxygen species such as OH O
2 and
H2O2 which are capable of attacking both the cell wall
and cell membrane thereby leading to loss of cell
viability and eventually causing the bacterial cell death
(Ibrahim et al 2013 Nagari et al 2009 Radetić 2013)
(iv) the imparted antibacterial functionality to the
nominated substrates follows the descending order
viscose ˃ cotton prints as a direct consequence of their
difference in the extent of deposition location and
distribution of the antibacterial agent ie TiO2-NPs
intoonto the printed substrates (v) the antibacterialactivity of the modi1047297ed prints against the nominated
G+ve and Gminusve bacteria follows the descending order
G+ve ˃ Gminusve most probably due to the differences in
their cell wall as well as ability to offer enough
protection against the photo-catalytic activity of TiO2-
NPs (Ibrahim et al 2013 Radetić 2013 Tayel et al
2011) and (vi) further increase in TiO2-NPs
concentration enhances slightly the imparted antibacterial
functionality
Binderpigment ratio
Within the range examined the data presented in Table 2reveal that increasing binderpigment ratio from 7510 up
to 10020 gkg is accompanied by a remarkable
improvement in the extent of pigment 1047297xation expressed
as K S values and TiO2-NPs immobilization thereby
upgrading both the functional and coloration properties
of the obtained pigments without affecting their fastness
properties irrespective of the used substrate The
enhancement in the aforementioned properties can be
attributed to better 1047297lm-forming properties proper

formation of a three-dimensional linked network higher
accommodation entrapment and 1047297xation of more
pigment particles better immobilization and 1047297xation of
TiO2-NPs (Ibahim et al 2013) The net effect of these
factors is better depth of shades antibacterial and UV-
protective functional properties Further increase in
binderpigment ratio up to 12530 gkg led to areasonable increase in K S Ti-content ZI UPF and light
fastness along with a slight decrease in WF and RF
values regardless of the used substrate The slight
improvement in LF properties re1047298ects the positive
impact of TiO2-NPs as a UV-blocking agentUV light-
absorption capacity as well as better agglomeration of
pigment molecules under the applied conditions (Ibrahim
et al 2013)
SEM images and EDX spectra
The SEM images and the corresponding EDX spectra of
cotton prints Figure 4((a) ndash
(c)) and viscose printsFigure 4 ((d) ndash (f)) signify that (i) pigment printing of the
aforementioned cellulosic substrates leads to change in
their surface morphology (ii) the extent of change is
determined by its type as well as amount location and
extent of distribution of the loaded pigment particles
and immobilized TiO2-NPs and (iii) the EDX spectra
show more loading of TiO2-NPs as well as silicone
softener onto the surface of the bifunctionalized-viscose

Pigment colorantsThe ability of TiO2-NPs to enhance both the functional
and coloration properties of cotton and viscose cellulosic
fabrics using various pigment colorants along with other
nominated printing paste constituents and microwave-
1047297xation technique is demonstrated in Table 3 The data
show the following common features (i) addition of
TiO2-NPs (15 gkg) to the printing paste constituents
enhances the K S and fastness properties and remarkably
improves the imparted antibacterial and anti-UV
functional properties (ii) the enhancement of K S values
follows the descending order cotton prints ˃ viscose
prints (iii) the improvement in antibacterial activity
follows the descending order viscose prints ˃ cotton
prints (iv) the improvement in the anti-UV capacity
follows the descending order cotton prints ˃ viscose
prints keeping other parameters constant (v) the extent
of enhancement in coloration and functionalization
properties especially the UV-shielding capacity is
determined by the type of the pigment colorant and its
UV-light absorption capacity and (vi) functionalized
pigment prints showed very suf 1047297cient bifunctional
properties along with darker depth of shades even after
15 washings compared with the unmodi1047297ed ones
Table 3
Conclusion
A novel approach for upgrading the antibacterialUV- blocking and pigment coloration properties of
cotton and viscose fabrics using pad-dry microwave
1047297xation regime was investigated The obtained results
revealed that
bull Incorporation of TiO2-nano sol (up to 15 gkg) into
the pigment printing paste results in
bifunctionalization of the obtained pigment prints
bull The enhancement in the imparted antibacterial and
UV-blocking properties is governed by the type of
substrate type and concentration of binding agent
pigment colorant as well as on the extent of
immobilization and location of TiO2-NPs alongwith degree of 1047297xation of pigment particles onto
within the binder 1047297lmfabric matrix
bull 15 consecutive home laundry cycles bring about a
reasonable decrease in the imparted functional and
coloration properties
bull SEM images and EDX spectra con1047297rm the change
in the surface morphology as well as the loading
of TiO2-NPs onto prints surface

keeping other parameters constant and (iv) these results
clearly show the differences between the nominated
cellulosic substrates in fabric weight thickness and
porosity surface area crystallineamorphous region
cellulosicnon-cellulosic components degree of undue
penetration into andor deposition onto fabric structure
and extent of 1047297xation of pigment particles ontowithin
the binder 1047297lmcellulose matrix during the thermo1047297xation
step (Ibrahim Abo-Shosha Gaffar Elshafei amp
Abdel-Fatah 2006 Ibrahim et al 2012 2013) It could be concluded that the best binding agent for attaining the
highest K S values is Alcoprintreg PB
TiO2-NPs concentration
Figure 3(a) shows the effect of inclusion of TiO2- NPrsquos
(0 ndash 20 gkg) into the printing paste on the K S values of
the obtained cotton and viscose pigment prints For a
given set of pigment printing formulation using
Alcoprintreg PB as a binding agent along with other
constituents and subsequent microwave 1047297xation
Figure 3(a) demonstrates that (i) increasing TiO2-NPs
concentration up to (15 gkg) in the printing paste is
accompanied by an improvement in the K S values of
the printed substrates up to 1430 for cotton and 1375
for viscose which re1047298ects the positive role of TiO2-NPs
in enhancing 1047297lm-forming properties of the used binder
extent of polymerization network and consequently
improved the extent of loading and 1047297xation of pigment
particles ontowithin the binderfabric matrix during themicrowave-1047297xation step taking into consideration the
photo-catalytic activity of TiO2-NPs (Ibrahim et al
2013 Nagari Montazer amp Rahimi 2009 Radetić
2013) Further increase in TiO2-NPs concentration up to
20 gkg has practically no or marginal positive impact on
the depth of the obtained pigment prints The K S values
of the obtained prints follow the descending order
cotton ˃ viscose as discussed earlier
Figure 4 SEM images of untreated TiO2-NPrsquos treated cotton fabric along with EDX image and element content of TiO2-NPrsquos-loaded cotton fabric (a b c) respectively and SEM images of untreated TiO 2-NPrsquos treated viscose fabric along with EDX image

Figure 3(b) shows the UV blocking ability expressed
as UPF value of the obtained pigment prints as a
function of TiO2-NPs concentration in the pigment
pastes It is clear that increasing TiO2-NPs concentration
up to (15 gkg) is accompanied by a remarkable increase
in the UPF values of cotton (up to 42) and viscose prints
(up to 34) possibly because the ability of the loaded
TiO2-NPs to refractblock andor scatter most of the
incoming harmful UV rays thereby enhancing the UV-
blocking ef 1047297ciency (Abidi Hequet Tarimala amp Dai
2007 Ibrahim et al 2013 Radetić 2013) The results
also show that the UV-shielding capacity is governed by
the type of the substrate and follows the descending
order cotton pigment prints˃
viscose pigment printsmost probably due to the differences between the used
cellulosic substrates in thickness surface morphology
cover factor depth of shade location and extent of
distribution of the immobilized TiO2-NPs onto andor
within the fabric substrate (Ibrahim et al 2012 2012)
On the other hand pigment printing of cotton and
viscose in the absence of TiO2-NPs brings about a
reasonable improvement in their UPF values from ˂10
up to 22 for cotton and 14 for viscose prints which
re1047298ects the positive role of the used pigment in
absorbing the harmful UV radiation (Ibahim et al
2013) Moreover the remarkable improvement in the
UV-protective properties by adding TiO2-NPs to the pigment colorant re1047298ects the synergistic effect of both
Also it could be noticed that the optimum TiO2-NPs
concentration is 15 gkg as demonstrated in Figure 3(b)
Figure 3(c) shows that (i) control sample without
TiO2-NPs exhibited no zone of inhibition for G+ve and
Gminusve bacteria (ii) increasing TiO2-NPs concentration up
to 15 gkg in the printing paste results in a signi1047297cant
improvement in the antibacterial ef 1047297cacy of the obtained
prints irrespective of the used substrate (iii) the
remarkable improvement in the antibacterial activity of
TiO2-NPs- loaded pigment prints is attributed to the
photo-catalytic action of TiO2-NPs and generation of
many reactive oxygen species such as OH O
2 and
H2O2 which are capable of attacking both the cell wall
and cell membrane thereby leading to loss of cell
viability and eventually causing the bacterial cell death
(Ibrahim et al 2013 Nagari et al 2009 Radetić 2013)
(iv) the imparted antibacterial functionality to the
nominated substrates follows the descending order
viscose ˃ cotton prints as a direct consequence of their
difference in the extent of deposition location and
distribution of the antibacterial agent ie TiO2-NPs
intoonto the printed substrates (v) the antibacterialactivity of the modi1047297ed prints against the nominated
G+ve and Gminusve bacteria follows the descending order
G+ve ˃ Gminusve most probably due to the differences in
their cell wall as well as ability to offer enough
protection against the photo-catalytic activity of TiO2-
NPs (Ibrahim et al 2013 Radetić 2013 Tayel et al
2011) and (vi) further increase in TiO2-NPs
concentration enhances slightly the imparted antibacterial
functionality
Binderpigment ratio
Within the range examined the data presented in Table 2reveal that increasing binderpigment ratio from 7510 up
to 10020 gkg is accompanied by a remarkable
improvement in the extent of pigment 1047297xation expressed
as K S values and TiO2-NPs immobilization thereby
upgrading both the functional and coloration properties
of the obtained pigments without affecting their fastness
properties irrespective of the used substrate The
enhancement in the aforementioned properties can be
attributed to better 1047297lm-forming properties proper

impact of TiO2-NPs as a UV-blocking agentUV light-
absorption capacity as well as better agglomeration of
pigment molecules under the applied conditions (Ibrahim
et al 2013)
SEM images and EDX spectra
The SEM images and the corresponding EDX spectra of
cotton prints Figure 4((a) ndash
(c)) and viscose printsFigure 4 ((d) ndash (f)) signify that (i) pigment printing of the
aforementioned cellulosic substrates leads to change in
their surface morphology (ii) the extent of change is
determined by its type as well as amount location and
extent of distribution of the loaded pigment particles
and immobilized TiO2-NPs and (iii) the EDX spectra
show more loading of TiO2-NPs as well as silicone
softener onto the surface of the bifunctionalized-viscose
prints expressed as Ti- and Si-weight percentage in
comparison with the modi1047297ed cotton pigment prints
Pigment colorantsThe ability of TiO2-NPs to enhance both the functional
and coloration properties of cotton and viscose cellulosic
fabrics using various pigment colorants along with other
nominated printing paste constituents and microwave-
1047297xation technique is demonstrated in Table 3 The data
show the following common features (i) addition of
TiO2-NPs (15 gkg) to the printing paste constituents
enhances the K S and fastness properties and remarkably
improves the imparted antibacterial and anti-UV
functional properties (ii) the enhancement of K S values
follows the descending order cotton prints ˃ viscose
prints (iii) the improvement in antibacterial activity
follows the descending order viscose prints ˃ cotton
prints (iv) the improvement in the anti-UV capacity
follows the descending order cotton prints ˃ viscose
prints keeping other parameters constant (v) the extent
of enhancement in coloration and functionalization
properties especially the UV-shielding capacity is
determined by the type of the pigment colorant and its
UV-light absorption capacity and (vi) functionalized
pigment prints showed very suf 1047297cient bifunctional
properties along with darker depth of shades even after
15 washings compared with the unmodi1047297ed ones
Table 3
Conclusion
A novel approach for upgrading the antibacterialUV- blocking and pigment coloration properties of
cotton and viscose fabrics using pad-dry microwave
1047297xation regime was investigated The obtained results
revealed that
bull Incorporation of TiO2-nano sol (up to 15 gkg) into
the pigment printing paste results in
bifunctionalization of the obtained pigment prints
bull The enhancement in the imparted antibacterial and
UV-blocking properties is governed by the type of
substrate type and concentration of binding agent
pigment colorant as well as on the extent of
immobilization and location of TiO2-NPs alongwith degree of 1047297xation of pigment particles onto
within the binder 1047297lmfabric matrix
bull 15 consecutive home laundry cycles bring about a
reasonable decrease in the imparted functional and
coloration properties
bull SEM images and EDX spectra con1047297rm the change
in the surface morphology as well as the loading
of TiO2-NPs onto prints surface

Figure 3(b) shows the UV blocking ability expressed
as UPF value of the obtained pigment prints as a
function of TiO2-NPs concentration in the pigment
pastes It is clear that increasing TiO2-NPs concentration
up to (15 gkg) is accompanied by a remarkable increase
in the UPF values of cotton (up to 42) and viscose prints
(up to 34) possibly because the ability of the loaded
TiO2-NPs to refractblock andor scatter most of the
incoming harmful UV rays thereby enhancing the UV-
blocking ef 1047297ciency (Abidi Hequet Tarimala amp Dai
2007 Ibrahim et al 2013 Radetić 2013) The results
also show that the UV-shielding capacity is governed by
the type of the substrate and follows the descending
order cotton pigment prints˃
viscose pigment printsmost probably due to the differences between the used
cellulosic substrates in thickness surface morphology
cover factor depth of shade location and extent of
distribution of the immobilized TiO2-NPs onto andor
within the fabric substrate (Ibrahim et al 2012 2012)
On the other hand pigment printing of cotton and
viscose in the absence of TiO2-NPs brings about a
reasonable improvement in their UPF values from ˂10
up to 22 for cotton and 14 for viscose prints which
re1047298ects the positive role of the used pigment in
absorbing the harmful UV radiation (Ibahim et al
2013) Moreover the remarkable improvement in the
UV-protective properties by adding TiO2-NPs to the pigment colorant re1047298ects the synergistic effect of both
Also it could be noticed that the optimum TiO2-NPs
concentration is 15 gkg as demonstrated in Figure 3(b)
Figure 3(c) shows that (i) control sample without
TiO2-NPs exhibited no zone of inhibition for G+ve and
Gminusve bacteria (ii) increasing TiO2-NPs concentration up
to 15 gkg in the printing paste results in a signi1047297cant
improvement in the antibacterial ef 1047297cacy of the obtained
prints irrespective of the used substrate (iii) the
remarkable improvement in the antibacterial activity of
TiO2-NPs- loaded pigment prints is attributed to the
photo-catalytic action of TiO2-NPs and generation of
many reactive oxygen species such as OH O
2 and
H2O2 which are capable of attacking both the cell wall
and cell membrane thereby leading to loss of cell
viability and eventually causing the bacterial cell death
(Ibrahim et al 2013 Nagari et al 2009 Radetić 2013)
(iv) the imparted antibacterial functionality to the
nominated substrates follows the descending order
viscose ˃ cotton prints as a direct consequence of their
difference in the extent of deposition location and
distribution of the antibacterial agent ie TiO2-NPs
intoonto the printed substrates (v) the antibacterialactivity of the modi1047297ed prints against the nominated
G+ve and Gminusve bacteria follows the descending order
G+ve ˃ Gminusve most probably due to the differences in
their cell wall as well as ability to offer enough
protection against the photo-catalytic activity of TiO2-
NPs (Ibrahim et al 2013 Radetić 2013 Tayel et al
2011) and (vi) further increase in TiO2-NPs
concentration enhances slightly the imparted antibacterial
functionality
Binderpigment ratio
Within the range examined the data presented in Table 2reveal that increasing binderpigment ratio from 7510 up
to 10020 gkg is accompanied by a remarkable
improvement in the extent of pigment 1047297xation expressed
as K S values and TiO2-NPs immobilization thereby
upgrading both the functional and coloration properties
of the obtained pigments without affecting their fastness
properties irrespective of the used substrate The
enhancement in the aforementioned properties can be
attributed to better 1047297lm-forming properties proper

formation of a three-dimensional linked network higher
accommodation entrapment and 1047297xation of more
pigment particles better immobilization and 1047297xation of
TiO2-NPs (Ibahim et al 2013) The net effect of these
factors is better depth of shades antibacterial and UV-
protective functional properties Further increase in
binderpigment ratio up to 12530 gkg led to areasonable increase in K S Ti-content ZI UPF and light
fastness along with a slight decrease in WF and RF
values regardless of the used substrate The slight
improvement in LF properties re1047298ects the positive
impact of TiO2-NPs as a UV-blocking agentUV light-
absorption capacity as well as better agglomeration of
pigment molecules under the applied conditions (Ibrahim
et al 2013)
SEM images and EDX spectra
The SEM images and the corresponding EDX spectra of
cotton prints Figure 4((a) ndash
(c)) and viscose printsFigure 4 ((d) ndash (f)) signify that (i) pigment printing of the
aforementioned cellulosic substrates leads to change in
their surface morphology (ii) the extent of change is
determined by its type as well as amount location and
extent of distribution of the loaded pigment particles
and immobilized TiO2-NPs and (iii) the EDX spectra
show more loading of TiO2-NPs as well as silicone
softener onto the surface of the bifunctionalized-viscose
prints expressed as Ti- and Si-weight percentage in
comparison with the modi1047297ed cotton pigment prints
Pigment colorantsThe ability of TiO2-NPs to enhance both the functional
and coloration properties of cotton and viscose cellulosic
fabrics using various pigment colorants along with other
nominated printing paste constituents and microwave-
1047297xation technique is demonstrated in Table 3 The data
show the following common features (i) addition of
TiO2-NPs (15 gkg) to the printing paste constituents
enhances the K S and fastness properties and remarkably
improves the imparted antibacterial and anti-UV
functional properties (ii) the enhancement of K S values
follows the descending order cotton prints ˃ viscose
prints (iii) the improvement in antibacterial activity
follows the descending order viscose prints ˃ cotton
prints (iv) the improvement in the anti-UV capacity
follows the descending order cotton prints ˃ viscose
prints keeping other parameters constant (v) the extent
of enhancement in coloration and functionalization
properties especially the UV-shielding capacity is

formation of a three-dimensional linked network higher
accommodation entrapment and 1047297xation of more
pigment particles better immobilization and 1047297xation of
TiO2-NPs (Ibahim et al 2013) The net effect of these
factors is better depth of shades antibacterial and UV-
protective functional properties Further increase in
binderpigment ratio up to 12530 gkg led to areasonable increase in K S Ti-content ZI UPF and light
fastness along with a slight decrease in WF and RF
values regardless of the used substrate The slight
improvement in LF properties re1047298ects the positive
impact of TiO2-NPs as a UV-blocking agentUV light-
absorption capacity as well as better agglomeration of
pigment molecules under the applied conditions (Ibrahim
et al 2013)
SEM images and EDX spectra
The SEM images and the corresponding EDX spectra of
cotton prints Figure 4((a) ndash
(c)) and viscose printsFigure 4 ((d) ndash (f)) signify that (i) pigment printing of the
aforementioned cellulosic substrates leads to change in
their surface morphology (ii) the extent of change is
determined by its type as well as amount location and
extent of distribution of the loaded pigment particles
and immobilized TiO2-NPs and (iii) the EDX spectra
show more loading of TiO2-NPs as well as silicone
softener onto the surface of the bifunctionalized-viscose
prints expressed as Ti- and Si-weight percentage in
comparison with the modi1047297ed cotton pigment prints
Pigment colorantsThe ability of TiO2-NPs to enhance both the functional
and coloration properties of cotton and viscose cellulosic
fabrics using various pigment colorants along with other
nominated printing paste constituents and microwave-
1047297xation technique is demonstrated in Table 3 The data
show the following common features (i) addition of
TiO2-NPs (15 gkg) to the printing paste constituents
enhances the K S and fastness properties and remarkably
improves the imparted antibacterial and anti-UV
functional properties (ii) the enhancement of K S values
follows the descending order cotton prints ˃ viscose
prints (iii) the improvement in antibacterial activity
follows the descending order viscose prints ˃ cotton
prints (iv) the improvement in the anti-UV capacity
follows the descending order cotton prints ˃ viscose
prints keeping other parameters constant (v) the extent
of enhancement in coloration and functionalization
properties especially the UV-shielding capacity is
determined by the type of the pigment colorant and its
UV-light absorption capacity and (vi) functionalized
pigment prints showed very suf 1047297cient bifunctional
properties along with darker depth of shades even after
15 washings compared with the unmodi1047297ed ones

formation of a three-dimensional linked network higher
accommodation entrapment and 1047297xation of more
pigment particles better immobilization and 1047297xation of
TiO2-NPs (Ibahim et al 2013) The net effect of these
factors is better depth of shades antibacterial and UV-
protective functional properties Further increase in
binderpigment ratio up to 12530 gkg led to areasonable increase in K S Ti-content ZI UPF and light
fastness along with a slight decrease in WF and RF
values regardless of the used substrate The slight
improvement in LF properties re1047298ects the positive
impact of TiO2-NPs as a UV-blocking agentUV light-
absorption capacity as well as better agglomeration of
pigment molecules under the applied conditions (Ibrahim
et al 2013)
SEM images and EDX spectra
The SEM images and the corresponding EDX spectra of
cotton prints Figure 4((a) ndash
(c)) and viscose printsFigure 4 ((d) ndash (f)) signify that (i) pigment printing of the
aforementioned cellulosic substrates leads to change in
their surface morphology (ii) the extent of change is
determined by its type as well as amount location and
extent of distribution of the loaded pigment particles
and immobilized TiO2-NPs and (iii) the EDX spectra
show more loading of TiO2-NPs as well as silicone
softener onto the surface of the bifunctionalized-viscose
prints expressed as Ti- and Si-weight percentage in
comparison with the modi1047297ed cotton pigment prints
Pigment colorantsThe ability of TiO2-NPs to enhance both the functional
and coloration properties of cotton and viscose cellulosic
fabrics using various pigment colorants along with other
nominated printing paste constituents and microwave-
1047297xation technique is demonstrated in Table 3 The data
show the following common features (i) addition of
TiO2-NPs (15 gkg) to the printing paste constituents
enhances the K S and fastness properties and remarkably
improves the imparted antibacterial and anti-UV
functional properties (ii) the enhancement of K S values
follows the descending order cotton prints ˃ viscose
prints (iii) the improvement in antibacterial activity
follows the descending order viscose prints ˃ cotton
prints (iv) the improvement in the anti-UV capacity
follows the descending order cotton prints ˃ viscose
prints keeping other parameters constant (v) the extent
of enhancement in coloration and functionalization
properties especially the UV-shielding capacity is
determined by the type of the pigment colorant and its
UV-light absorption capacity and (vi) functionalized
pigment prints showed very suf 1047297cient bifunctional
properties along with darker depth of shades even after
15 washings compared with the unmodi1047297ed ones
Table 3
Conclusion
A novel approach for upgrading the antibacterialUV- blocking and pigment coloration properties of
cotton and viscose fabrics using pad-dry microwave
1047297xation regime was investigated The obtained results
revealed that
bull Incorporation of TiO2-nano sol (up to 15 gkg) into
the pigment printing paste results in
bifunctionalization of the obtained pigment prints
bull The enhancement in the imparted antibacterial and
UV-blocking properties is governed by the type of
substrate type and concentration of binding agent
pigment colorant as well as on the extent of
immobilization and location of TiO2-NPs alongwith degree of 1047297xation of pigment particles onto
within the binder 1047297lmfabric matrix
bull 15 consecutive home laundry cycles bring about a
reasonable decrease in the imparted functional and
coloration properties
bull SEM images and EDX spectra con1047297rm the change
in the surface morphology as well as the loading
of TiO2-NPs onto prints surface
