PHOTOACTIVE POLYACRYLONITRILE FIBERS COATED BY NANO-SIZED TITANIUM DIOXIDE: SYNTHESIS, CHARACTERIZATION, THERMAL INVESTIGATION

Anatase nanocrystals were successfully synthesized and deposited onto polyacrylonitrile fibers with photocatalytic self-cleaning activity using the sol-gel process at low temperature. The original and treated samples have been characterized by several techniques such as scanning electron microscopy,...
