Production of Superhydrophobic Cotton Fabric by Layer-By-Layer Deposition of SiO ₂ /TiO ₂ -Polydimethylsiloxane

Effects of weave structure and water-repellent compositions’ formulation on the hydrophobicity property of cotton fabric

“…It was noted that with the development of the materials science and textile industry, superhydrophobic fabrics became an important category of superhydrophobic materials and are increasingly attracting the attention of researchers. 18 Based on the above, a variety of methods was developed to produce a superhydrophobic surface, including the padding method, [19][20][21][22] sedimentation method, 23 and electrospinning method. 24 However, these methods have their own limitations, such as the complexity of the manufacturing process, complex tools, severe reaction conditions, the use of expensive materials, and low mechanical strength.…”
