Abstrakt: Materials with self-decontaminating properties have the potential for catalyzing the detoxification of harmful organic compounds. They could be beneficial in a wide range of applications including personal protective clothing and indoor air quality. Metal oxides such as TiO2 and MgO with catalytic properties can be incorporated on traditional fabric surfaces as well as in organic/inorganic hybrid nanofibers. This study evaluates the combination of absorptive and oxidative properties of conventional cotton/polyester plain-woven fabrics treated with MgO nanoparticles for pesticide protective clothing. Polyacrylonitrile/TiO2 composite fibers were created by electrospinning. Both materials demonstrated the oxidation of the carbamate pesticide, aldicarb into a potentially less-toxic product.
