▎ 摘  要

Our study reports the fabrication and characterization (surface morphology, hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity, photocatalytic efficiency) of cotton fibers treated by various methods with graphene oxide decorated with Fe, N-doped TiO2 nanoparticles. Designed as prospective industrial self-cleaning, antimicrobial and biocompatible textiles, microbiological and cytotoxicity tests were performed on these particles-treated fibers to validate their qualities. The photocatalytic effect was dependent on chemicals used to disperse the nanoparticles, the parameters of the treatment, the fiber structure and composition of the material. The double and triple treatment of the textiles with the same particle dispersion resulted in a relatively uniform coverage of cotton fibers with relatively large amounts of particles. A larger amount of doped TiO2 particles demonstrated a better photo - catalytic effect under visible light. The material's hydrophobicity increased with the number of treatments due to the deposition of successive layers of reduced graphene, ensuring self-cleaning properties. The photocatalyst-treated cotton fabrics exhibited an increased resistance to Enterococcus faecalis and Escherichia coli colonization, and also high biocompatibility, as they did not affect the cell viability, membrane integrity and morphology, nor induce inflammation. All these data confirm the improved properties of cotton fibers treated with graphene oxide decorated with Fe, N-doped TiO2 particles in order to be used as industrial self-cleaning and biocompatible textiles.
