Abstract

Highly efficient photocatalytically active TiO2-coated polymer fibers are prepared using a facile and universal method involving layer-by-layer assembly of TiO2 nanoparticles and POSS molecules on various electrospun fibers. The TiO2-coated fibers display excellent photocatalytic properties in degradation of allyl alcohol under UV illumination, without degradation of substrates.
