Robust Superhydrophobic and Photocatalytic Cotton Fabrics Based on TiO<sub>2</sub>-SiO<sub>2</sub>-PDMS Composite Coating <sup></sup>

Abstract: In this work, self-cleaning cotton fabrics were prepared based on the TiO2-SiO2-Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) composites. TiO2-SiO2 composites were synthesized by depositing TiO2 nanocrystals onto preformed porous SiO2 and PDMS was used to enhance the linkage between TiO2-SiO2 composites and cotton fabrics. The TiO2-SiO2-PDMS composites coated cotton fabrics show superhydrophobicity with a water contact angle of 157°because of the abundant of methyl groups and hierarchical roughness features of the coated cotton… Show more

“…After the abrasion test, the water repellency test was applied to the fabric to evaluate the loss of SiO 2 and TiO 2 on the fabric. SiO 2 and TiO 2 are particles that can impart water repellency to fabrics [ 28 ]. Total particle loss was measured by modeling by taking SEM images of coated fabrics before and after abrasion.…”

“…Numerous superhydrophobic materials have been developed in recent years by synthesis and formulate new materials that can reducing the surface free energy and roughening the surface [5]. The superhydrophobic of a surface coating plays an important role in many fields such as self-cleaning surfaces, corrosion resistive coating and decorative purposes [6].…”
