The composite nanofibers of poly(vinyl alcohol)/poly(N,N-dimethylaminopropyl acrylamide) hydrogel and TiO2were prepared by electrospinning for a novel treatment of acidic waste water. The anatase TiO2was used as a photocatalyst due to its high photodegradation efficiency. TiO2was immobilized in the electrospun fibers for an easy recovery of TiO2after the waste treatment. The hydrogel nanofibers swelled rapidly in the acidic condition due to the repulsion among the protonated amine groups in the polymer chains. High efficiency of photocatalytic decomposition of dye was obtained by the fast swelling of hydrogel in the acidic condition and the uniform dispersion of TiO2by sonication.
