This review presents current literature on different nanocomposite coatings and surface finishing for textiles, and in particular this study has focused on smart materials, drug-delivery systems, industrial, antifouling and nano/ultrafiltration membrane coatings. Each of these nanostructured coatings shows interesting properties for different fields of application. In this review, particular attention is paid to the synthesis and the consequent physico-chemical characteristics of each coating and, therefore, to the different parameters that influence the substrate deposition process. Several techniques used in the characterization of these surface finishing coatings were also described. In this review the sol–gel method for preparing stimuli-responsive coatings as smart sensor materials is described; polymers and nanoparticles sensitive to pH, temperature, phase, light and biomolecules are also treated; nanomaterials based on phosphorus, borates, hydroxy carbonates and silicones are used and described as flame-retardant coatings; organic/inorganic hybrid sol–gel coatings for industrial applications are illustrated; carbon nanotubes, metallic oxides and polymers are employed for nano/ultrafiltration membranes and antifouling coatings. Research institutes and industries have collaborated in the advancement of nanotechnology by optimizing conversion processes of conventional materials into coatings with new functionalities for intelligent applications.

Comprehensive magnetic particle stability together with compatibility between them and liquid medium (silicone oil) is still a crucial issue in the case of magnetorheological (MR) suspensions to guarantee their overall stability and MR performance. Therefore, this study is aimed at improving the interfacial stability between the carbonyl iron (CI) particles and silicone oil. In this respect, the particles were modified with polymer brushes and dendritic structures of poly(2-(trimethylsilyloxy)ethyl methacrylate) (PHEMATMS), called CI-brushes or CI-dendrites, respectively, and their stability properties (corrosion, thermooxidation, and sedimentation) were compared to neat CI ones. Compatibility of the obtained particles and silicone oil was investigated using contact angle and off-state viscosity investigation. Finally, the magneto-responsive capabilities in terms of yield stress and reproducibility of the MR phenomenon were thoroughly investigated. It was found that MR suspensions based on CI-brushes had significantly improved compatibility properties than those of neat CI ones; however, the CI-dendrites-based suspension possessed the best capabilities, while the MR performance was negligibly suppressed.

Transparent, photoluminescent, mechanically reliable, ultraviolet protective and superhydrophobic thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) plastic was developed. A simple strategy to prepare transparent plastic that glows in the dark is to use alkaline earth strontium aluminate (AESA) nanoparticles trapped in thermoplastic polyurethane (TPUR). In order to improve both hardness and transparency of the plastic composite, cellulose nanowhiskers were used as a crosslinker and drier. The colorless plastic substrates exhibited a color shift to greenish when exposed to ultraviolet source. Transmission electron microscope (TEM) was employed to examine the morphology of AESA nanoparticles (8–15 nm in diameter) and cellulose nanowhiskers (3–7 nm in width and 645–665 nm in length). Morphological studies and hardness parameters were used to assess the TPUR samples. Excitation and emission spectral analyses were also employed to study the photoluminescence characteristics. The colorless plastic substrates that were made luminescent showed an excitation band at 388 nm and two emission bands at 452 nm and 515 nm. TPUR samples with greater AESA levels exhibited long‐persistent afterglow, whereas TPUR samples with lower AESA amounts exhibited rapid and reversible fluorescence when irradiated with ultraviolet light. Enhanced UV shielding and superhydrophobicity were observed in the photoluminescent plastic substrates upon increasing the phosphor content.
