Zinc Oxide for Functional Textile Coatings: Recent Advances

“…For human skin protection against UV irradiation, ZnO has mostly been applied to woven and knitted cotton fabrics, since natural cellulose fibers are usually used for the tailoring of light summer protective clothing [11,[71][72][73]77,78,80,83,84,[86][87][88][90][91][92]. Research on other textile substrates has been presented as well [106,110,129].…”

“…Namely, ZnO crystals with rod structures that were grown in a seeding solution at pH 4-5 were more hydrophobic compared with the flake-and flower-like ZnO structures which preferentially formed at pH 6-7 and pH 10-11 ( Figure 10). According to the literature, several studies have been performed in which ZnO Ps were used in combination with hydrophobic or oleophobic precursors to provide multifunctional antimicrobial, UV-protective, and superhydrophobic properties on the textile surface [12,71,79,80,97,106,110,145]. In these studies, ZnO NPs contributed to the development of superhydrophobic properties by providing hierarchical micro-and nano-scale rough structures at the fabric surface (Figure 11), representing a crucial morphological factor for the creation of hydrophobic self-cleaning effects called the "lotus effect".…”

Regarding further morphological changes, the chemical modification of fibers to ensure low-surface-energy hydrophobicity, without which the "lotus effect" would not be achieved, was performed by the application of organic or inorganic-organic hybrid precursors with alkyl [71,79,97,106,110,145] or perfluoroalkyl [12,80] functional groups. , polysiloxane-ZnO coated polyester (PET-g-PMAPS/ZnO), polysiloxane-ZnO coated polyester after annealing (Annealed PET-g-PMAPS/ZnO); relationship between the water contact angles and storage time (e).…”

Fabrication of Superhydrophobic and UV-Resistant Silk Fabrics with Laundering Durability and Chemical Stabilities

“…Inspired by the lotus leaf, great efforts have been made to explore new superhydrophobic and UV resistant silk fibers/fabrics [8,9]. Ren et al [10] reported a ZnO-PDMS coated fabric with good self-cleaning and UV resistance.…”
