@article{(Open Science Index):https://publications.waset.org/pdf/10005812, title = {Surface Coating of Polyester Fabrics by Sol Gel Synthesized ZnO Particles}, author = {Merve Küçük and M. Lütfi Öveçoğlu}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {Zinc oxide particles were synthesized using the sol-gel method and dip coated on polyester fabric. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed a single crystal phase of ZnO particles. Chemical characteristics of the polyester fabric surface were investigated using attenuated total reflection-Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) measurements. Morphology of ZnO coated fabric was analyzed using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). After particle analysis, the aqueous ZnO solution resulted in a narrow size distribution at submicron levels. The deposit of ZnO on polyester fabrics yielded a homogeneous spread of spherical particles. Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) results also affirmed the presence of ZnO particles on the polyester fabrics. }, journal = {International Journal of Chemical and Molecular Engineering}, volume = {10}, number = {12}, year = {2016}, pages = {1421 - 1425}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/10005812}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/120}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 120, 2016}, }
