Liquid SiO 2 solutions produced by silicon-based nano-powder are covered on the fabric surface by using spray method. Fabric surfaces were coated at the room temperature in air with the different spray nozzles. Surface analysis of the coated fabric was performed by using Contact Angle and SEM pictures. According to the Contact Angles measurements, the coated fabric surfaces showed hydrophobic character between 126 and 146 degrees, and the SiO 2 particles sticked to the fabric fibers as seen from SEM picture.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
