Silica nanotubes have significant applications in various fields, including thermal insulation, self-cleaning, and catalysis. Currently, the synthesis methods of silica nanotubes are mostly limited to the template method. In this work, a template-free strategy and vapor-phase approach were used to prepare silica nanotubes. Poly(methylhydrosiloxane) (PMHS) was hydrolyzed and condensed in a high-temperature closed reactor by using ammonia as a catalyst. The resulting product was then subjected to template-free selfassembly to synthesize silica nanotubes incorporating methyl groups. The silica nanotubes were synthesized under varying conditions, resulting in lengths ranging from 50 nm to several micrometers, exterior diameters between 40 and 120 nm, and wall thicknesses varying from 7 to 30 nm. The synthesized products underwent morphology analysis using TEM and FESEM for morphology analysis, elemental composition analysis using XPS, and chemical structure identification using FTIR, and the possible formation mechanism of silica nanotubes formation was also speculated. Furthermore, the coatings formed by silica nanotubes exhibited remarkable superhydrophobic self-cleaning properties with a water contact angle of 162°and a rolling angle of less than 1°.

“…Superhydrophobic textiles have found broad applications in sportswear, tents, personal protective equipment (PPE) for public and many occupations. 113 The superhydrophobic functions enhance protection against biological and chemical hazards in the working environment and in public spaces by reducing penetration and permeation of liquid hazards, consequently reducing surface contact and transmission of the hazards. However, the special functions of the textile materials need to meet the common and special requirements of products, including washing durability, sun/UV resistance, physical and mechanical properties, air permeability, moisture permeability, and comfort.…”

With the development of the material engineering and textile industry, superhydrophobic textiles have been an important category of superhydrophobic materials and have increasingly attracted the attentions of researchers. In recent years, many potential applications of these products have been explored by researchers. However, industrial production of the superhydrophobic textiles is still challenging to textile scientists and engineers, especially with increased environmental and human safety regulations. In this article, recent progress in the research and development of superhydrophobic textiles is reviewed and the advantages and disadvantages of the preparation methods of superhydrophobic textiles are generalized. Potential applications of superhydrophobic textiles in industrial, medical, and civilian fields are summarized. The challenges faced in research on superhydrophobic textiles are analyzed, mainly including restrictions on the use of environmentally hazardous fluorocarbons and organic solvents, demand for durable functional stability, economic and technical limitations of textile wet processing industry. This article will provide some reference and inspiration for the design, optimization and application of superhydrophobic textiles.

“…Multifunctional composite finishing can endow textiles with many excellent functions at the same time. At present, a large number of studies have carried out flame retardant, hydrophobic and other functional finishing of fabrics by using two‐step or even multistep methods, 21–23 but few studies endow fabrics with two or more functions by one‐step method 24 . Qin et al 21 prepared a superhydrophobic flame retardant coating on cotton fabric by two‐step method.…”

“…Through the modification, the multifunctional fabric with high flame retardancy, thermal stability, and hydrophobicity was obtained. Fang et al 23 grafted polymethylhydrosiloxane (PMHS) on the fabric surface to form nanofibers through silicone crosslinking. Then, sodium silicate solution, as an alkaline‐building fire‐retardant material, was used for the preparation of fabrics with superhydrophobicity and flame retardance.…”

With the rapid development of textile technology, single‐function textile finishing is difficult to meet the current needs of people for textiles. Textiles with flame retardancy, superhydrophobicity, UV resistance, and other functions are increasingly favored by people. At present, most of the preparation processes of multifunctional textiles are complex and time‐consuming. In this work, a flame retardant hexamethylenediamine tetramethylene phosphate ammonium salt of hexamethylenediamine ‐ N, N, N′, N′ ‐ tetra (methylphosphonic acid) (AHDTMPA) was synthesized using hexamethylenediamine tetramethylene phosphate (HDTMPA) and urea with aqueous solution as solvent. Then AHDTMPA and cetyltrimethoxysilane were added into the solution with methyl trimethoxysilane (MTMOS) and tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) as precursors to obtain a multifunctional sol. Finally, the multifunctional cotton fabric can be obtained by immersing the cotton fabric in the multifunctional sol in one‐step. The limiting oxygen index (LOI) and water contact angle (WCA) value of the finished cotton fabric was 27.6% and 131.4°, respectively. The FT‐IR characterization results and the SEM analysis verified the synthesis of AHDTMPA. The micro calorimeter combustion (MCC) and thermo gravimetric (TG) analysis indicated that the finished samples had less heat release capacity and less weight loss. The smoke density test showed good smoke suppression of the finished cotton fabric. Moreover, the whiteness of finished samples was nearly unchanged. In this work, the flame retardant and hydrophobic multi‐functional cotton fabric was prepared by one‐step, and the method is simple and efficient. The prepared functional cotton fabrics can be widely used in home textile fabrics, automotive interior fabrics, clothing fabrics, flags, tents, and protective clothing.
