“…However, water contact angle decreased to 108° when adding 25% PANI, due to the beaded morphology. The water wetting properties of porous textiles’ structures largely depend on surface roughness, pore size, and interpore spacing [ 31 ]. The mats with 25% PANI showed lowest porosity so that the water droplet can impregnate into mats more easily due to fewer air pockets on the surface, leading to smaller water contact angle compared to ones with less than 25% PANI.…”

Electronic textiles (E-textiles) have been an area of intense industrial and academic research for years due to their advanced applications. Thus, the goal of this study was to develop highly conductive silk fibroin electrochromic nanofibers for use in E-textiles. The silk nanofibers were prepared by an electrospinning technique, and the conductive polyaniline (PANI) was added to impart the electrical conductivity and electroactive property to the resultant electrospun silk composite nanofibers. The experimental results showed that tuning the electrospinning procedure could control the morphology of the composite nanofibers, thus altering their mechanical properties and surface wettability. Furthermore, the developed PANI/silk composite fibers possess electroactive and electrochromic properties, such as adjusting the applied voltage. The developed strategy demonstrated the feasibility of incorporating not only electrical functionality but also electroactivity into sustainable silk nanofibers using electrospinning technique.

“…Some types of sol-gel systems also have bacteriostatic or antibacterial effects [16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. These systems are anatase-modified photoactive TiO2 coatings and sol-gel coatings with colloidal metals or metal compounds embedded in them, such as silver, silver salt, copper compound, zinc or quaternary ammonium salt [18], so sol-gel technology can be applied to textiles to develop various functional finishes with antibacterial [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32], water repellent [33][34][35][36][37][38], superhydrophobic [39][40][41][42][43][44], oil/water separations [45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53], flame-retardant [54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61]…”

Progress in Sol-Gel Technology for the Coatings of Fabrics

The commercial availability of inorganic/organic precursors for sol-gel formulations is very high and increases day by day. In textile applications, the precursor-synthesized sol-gels along with functional chemicals can be deposited onto textile fabrics in one step by rolling, padding, dip-coating, spraying or spin coating. By using this technology, it is possible to provide fabrics with functional/multi-functional characteristics including flame retardant, anti-mosquito, water- repellent, oil-repellent, anti-bacterial, anti-wrinkle, ultraviolet (UV) protection and self-cleaning properties. These surface properties are discussed, describing the history, basic chemistry, factors affecting the sol-gel synthesis, progress in sol-gel technology along with various parameters controlling sol-gel technology. Additionally, this review deals with the recent progress of sol-gel technology in textiles in addressing fabric finishing, water repellent textiles, oil/water separation, flame retardant, UV protection and self-cleaning, self-sterilizing, wrinkle resistance, heat storage, photochromic and thermochromic color changes and the improvement of the durability and wear resistance properties.

“…In the textile industry, cotton fabric as a typical textile is of particular importance as it provides a variety of preferable characteristics, such as low cost, wearing comfortability, breathability, absorptivity toward water, flexibility, and environmental friendliness [1]. Most textile fabrics including cotton are in general likely to absorb significant amounts of water and numerous oils [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. From this point of view, the modified textile fabrics with surface treated water-and oil-repellent properties have been among the most intensively studied subjects in order to create additional functionalities, such as fire retardancy, antibacterial activity, and UV protection [8][9][10][11].…”

“…From this point of view, the modified textile fabrics with surface treated water-and oil-repellent properties have been among the most intensively studied subjects in order to create additional functionalities, such as fire retardancy, antibacterial activity, and UV protection [8][9][10][11]. There has heretofore been a considerable interest in the fabrication of superhydrophobic textile fabrics from the developmental point of view of novel practical applications such as self-cleaning, anti-corrosion, friction reduction, and anti-icing characteristics [2][3][4][5][6][7]. We can find a variety of reports on the exploration of superhydrophobic textiles based on the creation of the roughness surface by the grafting polymerization [12,13], layer-by-layer assembly [14,15], dip-coating [16][17][18][19][20], chemical vapor depositing [21][22][23], and spray coating [24][25][26][27][28].…”

Two fluoroalkylated vinyltrimethoxysilane oligomer (R F -(CH 2 CHSi(OMe) 3 ) n -R F ; n = 2, 3; R F = CF(CF 3 )OC 3 F 7 :R F -VMSi) in methanol reacted with aqueous sodium carbonate solution containing 2-hydroxy-4,6-dichloro-1,3,5-triazine sodium salt (TAZ) to provide two fluoroalkylated oligomeric silica/TAZ nanocomposites (R F -VMSiO 2 /TAZ). The original cotton fabric gives an oleophilic/hydrophilic property on its surface; however, modified cotton fabric surface with R F -VMSiO 2 /TAZ composites was demonstrated to provide highly oleophobic/superhydrophobic property on the surface. We can observe a remarkable time-dependent decrease of the contact angle of dodecane (oil) on the modified surfaces, and the contact angles of dodecane were found to decrease effectively from 55 • -83 • to 0 • over 5-30 s to supply superoleophilicity with keeping the superhydrophobic property on the surfaces. The modified cotton fabric having superoleophilic/superhydrophobic property was applicable to the separation membrane to separate oil and water. Interestingly, modified cotton fabric was found to adsorb efficiently only droplets of oil spread on the water interface due to its unique surface wettability.
