In this study, Nd3+, Cu2+ and Ce3+ doped TiO2 and chitosan
masked TiO2, TiO2/Nd3+, TiO2/Nd3+/Cu2+, TiO2/Nd3+/Ce3+ was synthesized by sol-gel method using
tetra n-butyl orthotitanate (TBT) as a precursor. The prepared nanoparticles characterized by
FT-IR, XRD, SEM-EDS, TEM, TGA. The XRD showed that the major phase of nanocomposite was anatase.
The morphology of the TiO2/Nd3+/Cu2+ and TiO2/Nd3+/Ce3+ microsphere was investigated using SEM.
The TEM shows that the size of TiO2/Nd3+/Cu2+ and TiO2/Nd3+/Ce3+ were 8-10 nm. IR spectrum and
TGA showed that the existence of chitosan. IR spectrum indicated that Ti-O bond formed in the
chitosan-TiO2 nano composite. One of the most important applications of nano particle TiO2 in
textile industry product of stain resistance cotton fabric. We studied about this effect of nano
particle TiO2 on cotton fabric. The results show that cotton fabric treatment with nano particle
TiO2 has this property.
