Over the past decade, considerable progress has been made in the applications of TiO2nanoparticles to get the multifunctional textiles. This paper presents the consequences of pretreatment of polyester fabric using cold plasma in the presence of oxygen — which might be beneficial for bonding nanoparticles over the polyester cotton blended curtains. Moreover, this paper presents the primary technique for suspending titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles into nanosilica sol for nanocoating of polyester cotton blended curtains. In addition, the detailed characterization of nanocoating has been made using Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD); and the consequences of nanocoating with and without plasma treatment for enhancing the different properties i.e. antistatic, anti UV and antibacterial property are discussed. Furthermore, the consequences of nanocoating with and without plasma treatment on the mechanical properties have also been discussed.
