Light Absorption of the Aluminium Effect Pigment Coated Textile: An Investigation Using TiO₂ Nanoparticle in the Basecoat and Al₂O₃ Nanoparticle in the Topcoat

Mohammad Mamunur Rashid and Boris Mahltig

Effect pigments were used to coat cotton and polyester textiles. After preparation of sol, the textile was coated and cured. After curing of already coated fabric, transmission and reflection characteristics were investigated through UV-Vis spectrophotometry. Subtracting these values from 100%, light absorption% by textile has been found. In this work, light absorption of effect pigment coated textile and their effect will be discussed.
