“…Previous studies have demonstrated that the superhydrophobicity mainly depends on hydrophobic surface with low surface energy and hierarchical micro/nanostructures. So far, a variety of technologies such as phase separation, chemical etching, sol–gel method, chemical vapor deposition, and electrospinning, and so on, have been used to construct superhydrophobic surfaces. However, many methods of preparing superhydrophobic surfaces are expensive and time‐consuming.…”

By the combination of dual bionic on the superhydrophobicity of lotus leaf and the bioadhesion of mussel adhesive protein, the nanoparticles were strongly immobilized onto the surface of cotton fabric to form superhydrophobic and superoleophilic coating. The as‐prepared fabric can be used as effective material for separating various oil/water mixtures. The separation efficiency can reach 99.0%, 97.6%, 98.1%, 96.0%, 94.2%, and 94.5% for toluene/water, n‐hexane/water, chloroform/water, paraffin oil/water, linseed oil/water, and crude oil/water mixtures with volume ratio of 1 : 4, respectively. In addition, the obtained fabric still kept stable superhydrophobicity and high separation efficiency for oil/water mixtures after using repeatedly for 90 cycles or ultrasonic treatment. They also exhibited excellent chemical durability in harsh conditions of strong acidic and alkaline solutions. Owning to high separation efficiency, stable recyclability, low cost, scalable fabrication, and excellent durability, the as‐prepared fabric can be considered as promising material for the separation of oil/water mixtures. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

“…The UV‐blocking activities of the fabrics, as indicated by UV protection factor (UPF) and UV transmission spectra of fabrics, are measured by UV/V spectrophotometer (UV1000F, Labsphere). The UV protection factor (UPF) values are automatically calculated on the basis of the recorded data in accordance with Australia/New Zealand standard AS/NZS 4399:1996 (Sun protective clothing: evaluation and classification) (Pan et al).…”

TiO2 -SiO2 thin film was prepared by sol-gel method and coated on the aramid fabric to prepare functional textiles. The aramid fabric was dipped and withdrawn in TiO2 -SiO2 gel and hydrothermal crystallization at 80(°) C, then its UV protection functionality was evaluated. The crystalline phase and the surface morphology of TiO2 -SiO2 thin film were characterized using SEM, XRD, and AFM respectively. SEM showed hydrothermal crystallization led to a homogeneous dispersion of anatase nonocrystal in TiO2 -SiO2 film, and XRD suggested the mean particle size of the formed anatase TiO2 was less than 30 nm. AFM indicated that hydrothermal treatment enhanced the crystallization of TiO2 . UV protection analysis suggested that the hydrothermally treated coated textile had a better screening property in comparison with TiO2 -SiO2 gel and native aramid fabric.

“…This provides an open way for the fabrication of water repellent textiles for mass production. Various organosilanes and mono-carboxylic acid functionalised alumina were found very efficient [50,51]. Such organi-cally modified nanoparticle coating gives an additional benefit of UV blocking, and thus makes this method more interesting for textile industries [51].…”

The investigations of superhydrophobicity and self-cleaning surfaces have been given a lot of attention in the last few decades. The surfaces having water contact angle larger than ° are termed as hydrophobic surfaces and those which exhibit contact angle higher than ° are said to be superhydrophobic. Such surfaces were first observed in nature in various plants and animals, for example, lotus leaf-like structures. Water repellence of various materials have shown great influences on various applications such as self-cleaning, anti-ageing, water-oil separation, water corrosion in electrical industry, water proof textiles, controlled transportation of fluids, etc. Generally, surface micro/nanostructuring combined with low surface energy of materials leads to extreme anti-wetting properties. The hundreds of research articles and more than patents on the subject of nature mimicking self-cleaning surfaces prove the potential of this topic.
