Superhydrophilic surface modification of fabric via coating with nano-TiO2 by UV and alkaline treatment

- We reported a rapid, environmentally friendly, and highly efficient method for PET fabric surface modification.
- The modified PET fabric became superhydrophilic and the water contact angles were decreased to 0° via coating with nano-TiO2 by UV and alkaline treatment.
- The excellent mechanical and physical properties of modified PET fabric were retained.
