Abstract

This study focuses on the synthesis of titanium dioxide (TiO₂) nanoparticles (NP) using both chemical and green synthesis methods to evaluate their effectiveness in stain removal when applied to fabrics. The research aims to compare the detergency properties of TiO₂ nanoparticles synthesized through conventional chemical techniques and eco-friendly approaches. The performance of these nanoparticles is assessed based on their ability to break down stains, highlighting their potential for textile treatment and environmental cleaning. The findings emphasize the advantages of green synthesis, contributing to sustainable and efficient fabric care solutions.
