Design Of Cotton Fabric-Based Binary And Ternary Composite Materials Containing Nanostructured Zno, Tio2, And Plasmonic Nanoparticles: Photocatalytic Applications, Latanya Downer

Master of Science in Chemical Sciences Theses

Nanostructure metals and metal oxides can be used for surface functionalization and combined with different materials to increase functionality. Recently, surface functionality has been of interest due to its multi-component and its ability to generate new material properties. One of its main application is the creation of nanomaterials because of its novel physical properties which contribute towards stabilization, strength, and catalytic properties. Nanomaterials makes it possible to fabricate objects in the nanoscale size range which offers beneficial physical properties. The nanomaterial distinctiveness allows for the creation of materials with unique characteristics for different applications such as photocatalytic coatings. Semiconductor and …
