Superhydrophobic cotton fabrics prepared by sol–gel coating of TiO2 and surface hydrophobization

Superhydrophobic cotton fabrics prepared by sol–gel coating of TiO2 and surface hydrophobization

By coating fibers with titania sol to generate a dual-size surface roughness, followed by hydrophobization with stearic acid, 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorodecyltrichlorosilane or their combination, hydrophilic cotton fabrics were made superhydrophobic. The surface wettability and topology of cotton fabrics...
