Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDS) were used to confirm the successful application of Ag-doped TiO2 and TPMP on the cotton fabric. The results of UPF, bacterial reduction against Escherichia coli and vertical flammability test showed that the creation of Ag-TiO2+TPMP nanocomposite on the surface of the fibres gave the cotton fabric superior antibacterial activity, very good UV protection and flame retardant activity.
