| Sumario: | Multifunctional fibrous surfaces with ultraviolet protection, self-cleaning, or antibacterial activity have been highly attractive. Nanocomposites consisting of silver (AgNPs) and titanium dioxide (TiO<sub>2</sub> NPs) nanoparticles (Ag/TiO<sub>2</sub>) were developed and coated onto the surface of viscose fibers employing a straightforward pad–dry–cure procedure. The morphologies and elemental compositions were evaluated by scan electron microscopy (SEM), infrared spectra (FTIR), and energy-dispersion X-ray spectra (EDS). The resultant multifunctional textile materials displayed antibacterial and photo-induced catalytic properties. The photocatalyzed self-cleaning properties were investigated employing the photochemical decay of methylthioninium chloride, whereas the antibacterial properties were studied versus <i>E. coli</i>. The viscose fibers coated with Ag/TiO<sub>2</sub> nanocomposite demonstrated improved efficiency compared with viscose fibers coated with pure anatase TiO<sub>2</sub> nano-scaled particles. |
