This work investigates thermophysiological comfort properties of sonochemically synthesized nano TiO2 coated cotton and polyester woven fabrics. The obtained results were analysed on heat and mass transfer basis. Moisture management tester and Alambeta were utilised for moisture transportation and thermal evaluation. This study precisely investigates the effects of sonication on surface roughness of nano TiO2 coated and uncoated samples. Ultrasonic acoustic method was applied to imbibe nano TiO2 on fabric samples. Surface topography, morphology and the existence of nano TiO2 on investigated samples were analysed by scanning electron microscopy and inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy. In addition, standard test methods were applied to estimate physical and thermophysiological comfort properties i.e. thermal resistance, thermal diffusivity, heat flow, wetting time and accumulative one-way transport index of uncoated and nano TiO2 coated samples.
