Abstract | ||||
Due to its photocatalytic properties, titanium dioxide (TiO2) has been regarded as an appealing antibacterial component. It is also chemically stable, non-toxic, affordable, and generally accepted as a safe (GRAS) material. Titanium dioxide nanoparticles considerably enhanced these qualities (TiO2NPs). In order to better protect sick children from microbial and bacterial infection in children's hospitals, TiO2NPs are utilised to increase the antibacterial, self-cleaning, and UV characteristics on cotton textiles. All necessary measures are looked at and included into our work. | ||||
