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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

coef 1047297cient respectively

Fastness properties to washing crocking and light

were evaluated according to the AATCC Test Methods

(61-1972) (8-1972) and (16A-1972) respectively

The morphology and particle size of the prepared

TiO2-NPs were assessed by transmission electronmicroscope (TEM) using JEOL JEM 2100 F electron

microscope at 200 kV

The metal content of the functionalized pigment

prints was evaluated by 1047298ame atomic absorption

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

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

factors is better depth of shades antibacterial and UV-

protective functional properties Further increase in

fastness along with a slight decrease in WF and RF

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 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

prints (iv) the improvement in the anti-UV capacity

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

improvement in LF properties re1047298ects the positive

impact of TiO2-NPs as a UV-blocking agentUV light-

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

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
