Indonesia has great potential of the Solar energy, irradiated by the Sun throughout the years. Cotton textiles antibacterial has been prepared by coating Titania (TiO 2 ) with Polyethylene glycol (PEG) and Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as adhesives. The method of depositing cotton using a simple dip coating. Cotton dry for 15 minutes with a halogen lamp, after the deposition process. Then, we do the antibacterial activity test using Plate Count Method. As a result, the coated cotton textiles with Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), Polyethylene glycol (PEG) has antibacterial properties. Characterization by the Attenuated Total Reflectance (ATR) obtained that Titania (TiO 2 ) surely adhere on the sample. From Attenuated Total Reflectance (ATR) characterization we conclude that Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is not affecting the antibacterial ability of Titania (TiO 2 ). But the infusion of Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and Polyethylene glycol (PEG) on Cotton increases the stiffness value of Cotton.
