Sustainable infrared-driven deposition of palladium nanoparticles on viscose for multi-functional textile engineering.

ABSTRACT: Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) irradiation and microbial contamination correlated to the environmental pollution and ozone layer depletion caused serious health concerns. Nanotechnology offers promising solutions in functional textiles, particularly through nanoparticles with high surface energy, ionization capacity, and surface area. Herein, for the first time the exploitation of infra-red irradiation for controllable nucleation of PdNPs was investigated. This study is considered with the enhancement of UV protection and antimicrobial properties of viscose fabrics via infrared (IR)-assisted/in-situ self-clustering of palladium nanoparticles (PdNPs). PdNPs were synthesized within viscose matrix under varying conditions: two concentrations of PdCl₂ (100 and 200 mM), two pH levels (2
