“…The water contact angle and sliding angle on the created lotus-leaf-like PVDF membrane were 155° and 4°, exhibiting superhydrophobic property and self-cleaning property. The method of plasma etching processing was a cheap and easily implementable method to prepare the superhydrophobic surface [ 104 , 105 , 106 , 107 , 108 , 109 , 110 ].…”

Multifuntional fabrics with special wettability have attracted a lot of interest in both fundamental research and industry applications over the last two decades. In this review, recent progress of various kinds of approaches and strategies to construct super-antiwetting coating on cellulose-based substrates (fabrics and paper) has been discussed in detail. We focus on the significant applications related to artificial superhydrophobic fabrics with special wettability and controllable adhesion, e.g., oil-water separation, self-cleaning, asymmetric/anisotropic wetting for microfluidic manipulation, air/liquid directional gating, and micro-template for patterning. In addition to the anti-wetting properties and promising applications, particular attention is paid to coating durability and other incorporated functionalities, e.g., air permeability, UV-shielding, photocatalytic self-cleaning, self-healing and patterned antiwetting properties. Finally, the existing difficulties and future prospects of this traditional and developing field are briefly proposed and discussed.

It has, nowadays, become indispensable to get multi-functional properties from a single piece of fabric or garment in the sector of textile and fashion. Cotton fabric is now extremely being utilized in garments all over the world. At the raw stage, cotton fabric has less reflectance, high ignition tendency, moreover the proclivity to be attracted by microorganisms. The strength of the fabric might be deteriorated because of frequent processing. In this study, a single jersey raw (grey) cotton fabric of 150 GSM was processed with a pertinent chemical treatment to convert the reflectance to about 100 % and impart flame resistance property together with the other functional properties. Due to the attainment of high reflectance and flame resistance traits, the heat-absorbing tendency of the fabric became low which improved the comfortability of the fabric. The strength of the processed fabric was increased by 4 %. Crease recovery angle was increased by 57 % in the course way and by 82 % in wales way direction that attributed crease-resistance and more stability to the modified fabric. Moreover, the processed fabric was also able to exhibit antimicrobial properties. Strength improvement, attainment of crease-resistance, and antimicrobial property could enhance the longevity of the fabric. The attainment of multifunctional properties together with the strength improvement simultaneously provided a unique feature to the modified cotton fabric. It was a permanent chemical treatment, and it modified the surface of the fabric, which ultimately enhanced the proclivity of cotton fabric to be more compact or crystalline and more stable. The addition of the new quality of the cotton fabric could endure even after washing. The modified cotton fabric with newly added characteristics could be a good choice to prepare garments with felicitous longevity to protect from heat, fire flame sensitivity. It really could create an opportunity in multi-functional fabric processing as well as modern textiles.

“…To date, carbon nanomaterials with high thermal conductivity, high strength, flexibility, and low density have attracted considerable attention for developing high-performance polymer composites [15,16,17,18,19]. Interestingly, except for the strengthening effect, the incorporation of carbon nanomaterials is also found to improve the flame retardancy of polymers.…”

This study was aimed at investigating the effects of carbon nanomaterials with different geometries on improving the flame retardancy of magnesium hydroxide–filled ethylene-vinyl acetate (EM). The thermal stability and flame retardancy were studied by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), limiting oxygen index (LOI), UL-94 test, and cone calorimeter test (CCT). The in situ temperature monitoring system and interrupted combustion offered direct evidence to link flame retardancy and composite structure. Results demonstrated that carbon nanomaterials enhanced the thermal stability and fire safety of EM. The geometry of carbon nanomaterials played a key role in synergistic flame retardancy of EM, with the flame-retardant order of carbon nanotube > nanoscale carbon black > graphene. Based on an online temperature monitoring system and interrupted combustion test, one-dimensional carbon nanotube was more inclined to form the network structure synergistically with magnesium hydroxide in ethylene-vinyl acetate, which facilitated the generation of more continuous char structure during combustion. In parallel, the mechanical property was characterized by a tensile test and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). The incorporation of carbon nanomaterials presented a limited effect on the mechanical properties of the EM system.
