Application of UPC (up conversion) materials on self-cleaning textile

There has been an increasing consideration in nanotechnology during the present decade due to its enormous potential in applying and creating novel materials for enhanced properties and applications. This study aims to study the behavior and effect up conversion materials with Titanium dioxide to increase light efficiency, and effect of adhesion of nanoparticles by a Sol – Gel dip coating method on the textiles. The growing interest towards self-cleaning coating technologies is due to their high potential in commercial products and their ability to reduce cleaning labor costs. For example, a fabric with self-cleaning properties would save cost in fabric cleaning and extend the lifetime of the textile. In this study, photo catalytic self-cleaning and activities of the thin films were investigated, All samples drying at temperatures (60-90-120 °C) in vacuum drying oven with a time factor , there is no effect on the samples when the effect of a change in the temperature of drying on (Flat and Denim) textiles. Depending on the samples tested under Sun test and the number of hours can be deduced more hours of sun test light it will give more activity photo catalytic. Dip coating method were observed a very effective method in porous materials and it is a simple method. SEM analysis were connected TiO2/Er3+ in test. It was demonstrated that the weave structures of treated textures were held stable and did not watch shrinkage of the cotton. XRD analysis the upconversion luminescence of ER3+ was showed the best performance.
