摘要

This study evaluated the combined effects of fabric texture and perovskite nanomaterial additives on the multifunctional performance of textile structures. Two distinct textile types were studied: 100% cotton woven fabrics, representing conventional textile structures, and electrospun cellulosic nanofiber mats, representing nonwoven nanostructured textiles. Both were treated with strontium titanate (SrTiO₃) and zinc titanate (ZnTiO₃) nanoparticles, allowing a comparative evaluation of how fabric texture influences functional properties such as electrical conductivity, self-cleaning, UV protection, and moisture management. Electron microscopy and elemental mapping confirmed uniform nanoparticle deposition on fiber surfaces. The treated textiles exhibited markedly enhanced electrical conductivity, reaching the 10⁻⁶–10⁻⁷ Ω/sq range, compared with insulating untreated fabrics. Photocatalytic self-cleaning efficiency improved significantly, with ΔE* values exceeding 17 for both dye systems. In addition, superior UV-blocking performance, achieving a UPF of 52–57. UV-blocking performance increased substantially due to the synergistic absorption and scattering of UV radiation by the nanoparticles. Moisture content decreased from ~ 11% in untreated samples to ~ 5.8% after treatment, indicating modified water-handling behavior. The results demonstrate that the interaction between fabric texture and perovskite nanomaterials enables the design of multifunctional textiles with enhanced conductivity, UV protection, self-cleaning ability, and moisture control. These findings provide a practical pathway for developing advanced smart textiles for industrial, outdoor, and protective applications.
