Abstract
In this paper, we report the synthesis of a highly photocatalytic titanium dioxide nanoparticles bonded with azobenzene and cotton by simple sol-gel method. The synthesized azobenzene based titania nanoparticles coated cotton fibers were characterized using UV-visible and SEM and reported their antimicrobial activity. It was observed that the presence of titanium dioxide bonded with azobenzene effectively prevents both the cotton fibers from getting contaminated.
