    The aim of this research was to evaluate the formation of two industrially-prepared and commercially-available nanoTiO2 colloidal dispersions in different concentrations applied on surface of ... polyester fabric (PES) according to conventional pad-dry-cure procedure in order to impart self-cleaning properties. Colloidal dispersions were analysed using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and the surface morphology of TiO2 modified fabrics using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). In addition, the self-cleaning ability of fabrics was investigated through discoloration of two stains, red wine and red beet, under to two types of light sources, i.e. direct day light and artificial UV light, by means of a spectrophotometry. The obtained results show adequate self-cleaning ability of TiO2 modified PES fabrics governed by the type and the concentration of TiO2 suspension applied.
