Titanium dioxide is found in products like solar panels and sunscreen - it absorbs ultraviolet light - and in several cleaning products, because it can be used to oxidize organic material. Cement, paint, windows and even odor-free socks contain TiO2, which is prized for its ability to kill microbes and break down dirt.
Other researchers have incorporated titanium dioxide into clothes before, but they don't get clean unless exposed to ultraviolet light, which isn't exactly practical. Mingce Long of Shanghai Jiao Tong University and Deyong Wu of the Hubei University for Nationalities in Hubei, China, set out to create clothing with titanium dioxide coating that can self-clean using only sunlight.
To do this, they doped some TiO2 with nitrogen, which had been previously shown to work as a light-activated catalyst in visible light. They developed a new method to put this nanoparticle solution in liquid form, dunked cotton in it for one minute, then pressed the cotton, dried it and re-rinsed it. Then they added some silver iodide nanoparticles, which were intended to improve the fabric's overall light sensitivity. The researchers stained the fabric with orange dye, and then exposed it to sunlight. The cotton broke down the orange, and also sterilized bacteria.
The best part: The coating remains intact after washing and drying. So even if you decide to break down and do actual laundry - or if someone does it for you - you can still revert back to the self-cleaning sunlight method later.
The paper is published in the American Chemical Society journal Applied Materials & Interfaces.
This is one for the Morgellons (Borgellons) crowd to pay attention to for covert power sources. Here we have a synthetic fiber with its own redox battery. The deficiency in what passes for reported science is the lack of precision. Even the curly mercury bulbs put off UV, so why do they use the word: sunlight? With chemtrails so thick what bandwidths are being filtered so that you need a specific range of light other than UV to drive the cleaning reaction? What small spectral band of light drives the reaction? Even if you lived in a controlled environment the oxidative reactions could still be driven by artificial light sources. No place to run. No place to hide. But hiding from what? Sure, it sounds like a good commercial application, the oxidation of stains and bacteria, but what oxidizes a bacteria cell will also oxidize a human cell. The actions of free radicals are like those steel balls on strings. You get one going and it slams into the others and it makes a reaction that sets the others off. How do you damp the free radicals once they are on and in your body? Call them: molecular Coodies. That is just the commercial end of it: wearing these tainted clothes. This tech is destined for the self-assembling nanomachines that seem to be crawling out of the skin of certain people (unique HLA typing?) if it hasn’t already been incorporated in and they are just bragging about their accomplishments. So how do you dampen, disable, or extinguish a perpetual motion machine? Some data indicates that Titanium Dioxide can break DNA. Makes you wonder why it is in so many edible products? Silver Iodide is not good inside the body so why would a nanoparticle be good outside the body now that some towns are regulating these chemicals that can pass right into cells with impunity?
