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.
