“…If sweat is absorbed by the clothes, it will significantly affect the comfort of the human body. Thus, a quick drying is favorable for improving the wear comfort of silk fabrics, such as maintenance of somatosensory comfort, prevention of the growth of bacteria and dehumidification 40–43 . In addition, it is also favorable for the drying after laundry.…”

“…Thus, a quick drying is favorable for improving the wear comfort of silk fabrics, such as maintenance of somatosensory comfort, prevention of the growth of bacteria and dehumidification. [40][41][42][43] In addition, it is also favorable for the drying after laundry. The quick drying property of silk fabrics can be obtained by switching the crosslinked thermo-responsive P(NM-co-OA 300 -co-EA 360 ) film from a more hydrophilicity to a more hydrophobicity state when the external temperature is above the TT.…”

An easy care of silk fabrics is realized by crosslinking a thermo‐responsive copolymer film onto its surface. The thermo‐responsive copolymer poly(N‐isopropylacrylamide‐co‐oligo[ethylene glycol] methyl ether methacrylate‐co‐ethylene glycol methacrylate), abbreviated as P(NM‐co‐OA300‐co‐EA360), is synthesized by sequential atom transfer radical polymerization. By applying 1,2,3,4‐butanetetracarboxylic acid as crosslinker, the thermo‐responsive P(NM‐co‐OA300‐co‐EA360) film can be immobilized onto the silk fabrics. The transition temperature (TT) of the P(NM‐co‐OA300‐co‐EA360) film crosslinked on silk fabrics is around 46 °C. The reversible transition behavior can effectively reduce the attachment between lipophilic stains and P(NM‐co‐OA300‐co‐EA360) film, inducing a high efficiency of stain removal. Simply rinsing with deionized water at 25 °C (below its TT) for 30 s, 60% of stains can be removed. Moreover, the crosslinked P(NM‐co‐OA300‐co‐EA360) film turns hydrophobic during outdoor activities or drying. Thus, the repelled water molecules can be easily evaporated from the silk fabrics and the drying process is 25% faster than that without crosslinked P(NM‐co‐OA300‐co‐EA360) film. Based on the excellent performance of stain removal and quick drying, the silk fabrics crosslinked with thermo‐responsive copolymer film can be broadly used to design silk‐based costumes for daily use.
