Photocatalyst and anti bacterial synthetic leather by Ag & TiO2

Due to anti-bacterial properties, photocatalytic ability and strength of synthetic leather is very important in the application of this product. In this paper, we have tried to improve these properties with using the TiO2 and Ag particles. These particles were embedded into the polymer matrix by mechanical mixing. Field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) showed that particles dispersed intro skin layer. Anti-bacterial properties, photocatalytic ability and strength of produced synthetic leather with Ag and TiO2 particles compared with blank sample. Result showed that presence particles in synthetic leather cause of Anti-bacterial properties against of E.coli and S.areous bacteries. In order to, photocatalytic ability against of sun and purulent improved with analysis of the (∆E). Also, strength of synthetic leather tested with C.R.E system and it improved.
