Abstract
The waterborne polyurethane/doped TiO2 nanoparticle hybrid films were prepared. Nd, I doped TiO2 was prepared with a 50 nm particle size firstly. The hybrid film was prepared by mixing doped TiO2 with waterborne polyurethane, followed by heat treatment. The presence and nanometric distribution of doped TiO2 nanoparticles in prepared membranes is evident according to SEM images. The photocatalytic activities of doped TiO2 were significantly enhanced compared with pure TiO2 powders. After the hybrid film fabrication, the photocatalytic activities were almost the same as the pure catalysts with k MB of 0.046. In the antibacterial testing, the hybrid films can inhibit E. coli growth. A significant decrease in membrane fluidity and increase of permeability of E. coli were observed.
