“…Afterwards, non-fluorinated hydrophobic nanosols based on long-chain alkylsilane additives have been used to avoid the negative environmental impacts of fluorinated compounds as well as to attain coated fabrics with ultra-hydrophobic properties [3]. Moreover, many attempts have tried to increase the hydrophobic properties of fabric by using inorganic sols based on silica or titanium dioxide along with other hydrophobic additives [48,49].…”

Sol-gel technology continues to interest researchers from both industries and governmental institutions in many parts of the world decades after its discovery. It offers efficient and high-purity production of nanopowders, fibres, solid structures and thin-film coatings. Possible applications of sol-gel technology can be found in a wide range of sectors, such as pharmacy, medicine, construction, aerospace, transport, food industry, optics, agriculture, semiconductor devices, catalysis and biotechnology. Also in the textile sector, sol-gel technology is expected to lead the production of fabrics with completely novel properties or the combination of various functions in one fabric. The sol-gel reaction is easy to perform and does not require special conditions and high temperatures. The reaction consists of a series of simple hydrolysis and condensation reactions. This paper presents an overview of sol-gel technology and discusses the fabric functions that can be achieved by the technology. Graphical Abstract

“…It was shown that for the grooved structure in the wale direction, the three-phase contact line toward the tilting direction was less continuous and longer than toward the orthogonal direction (course direction) [8]. In the other words, the tilting of a water droplet on a solid surface was known to be governed by the movement of the three-phase line toward the tilting direction [22,23].…”

A superhydrophobic surface with self-cleaning properties can be fabricated with a combination of both low surface energy and the proper surface roughness. In this paper, the possible effects of structural parameters of weft knitted fabrics were applied to produce surface roughness while a fluorocarbon compound was coated on the surface in order to generate low surface energy. In addition, to create dual surface roughness on the polyester fibers, chemical etching with alkaline hydrolysis and application of nanoparticles were investigated. The water repellency of the treated samples was evaluated by 3M, tilting angle and contact angle hysteresis.Comparison of a smooth polyester film and the knitted fabrics showed that various knitted structures and stitch densityhad a great effect on superhydrophobicity. Polyester alkaline hydrolysis efficiently roughened the surface and after the fluorocarbon coating, remarkable improvement in repellent properties was observed. Thus, there was no necessity to use nanoparticles.

“…They also used a hydrophobic coating of silica nanoparticles onto microscaled CFs and investigated the superhydrophobic behavior of composite nano/microstructures (Fig. 4c) [41]. The two-tier composite surfaces are based on regularly ordered CFs (8-10 μm in diameter) that are coated with SiO 2 nanoparticles with an average size of 300-500 nm.…”

Materials with appropriate surface roughness and low surface energy can form superhydrophobic surfaces, displaying water contact angles greater than 150°. Superhydrophobic carbon-based materials are particularly interesting due to their exceptional physicochemical properties. This review discusses the various techniques used to produce superhydrophobic carbon-based materials such as carbon fibers, carbon nanotubes, graphene, amorphous carbons, etc. Recent advances in emerging fields such as energy, environmental remediation, and thermal management in relation to these materials are also discussed.
