Abstract
Cotton and polyester plain woven fabric have been incorporated with two coats: basecoat with/without TiO2 nanoparticles and topcoat prepared with aluminium effect pigment. After pigmenting and drying, the reflection and transmission characteristics were measured through UV-Vis spectrophotometry. The reflection and transmission properties of the coated textile were investigated as a function of wavelength ranging from 220 nm to 1400 nm. Using TiO2 nanoparticle as coating in combination with aluminium effect pigment can be used to develop optical protection of textile- will be discussed in this work.
