Abstract

Radio Frequency (RF) magnetron sputtered TiO2 thin films have been deposited on flexible textile substrates such as polyester and cotton fabrics, yielding a flexible composite architecture. The structure of the composites was systematically investigated by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), and Contact Angle tester. The deposited TiO2 thin films featured unique high porosity and amorphous structure which combined with the flexibility of the textile base show promise for photovoltaic applications.
