This work aims to prepare a series of sols based on Titanium (IV) butoxide (TBT) and using
boric acid as a functional additive. The sols were applied onto the cotton fabric by the pad …

In this paper, we report on the design of multifunctional cotton fabric with high hydrophobic,
water-repellent, water-oil separation, and self-cleaning properties by the sol-gel method …

As a promising biodegradable polymer, cellulose triacetate (CTA) was synthesized and
plasticized with ionic liquids to produce flexible biocomposite films multi-end-use. Initially …

Lightweight functional textiles play a crucial role in the development of modern protective
clothing. Unlike traditional multi-layer systems, which tend to increase weight considerably …

An ionic liquid (IL)-assisted cotton fabric treatment was developed that uses the sol–gel
method, methylimidazolium and pyridinium cations combined with Cl−, PF 6−,(CF 3 SO 2) 2 …

The functionalization of textiles is an emerging tool to improve textile performance and
increase its added value. Several techniques can be used to impart new functionalities and …

In this report, a unique methodology/process steps were followed using Sol–gel-based
concept to deposit thin flame-retardant coatings on cotton fabric. Surface microstructure and …

Boron, which is not elemental in nature, is commonly found in the Earth's crust and is found
in the 5th place of the periodic. About 230 different boron minerals are known to exist, and …

Cellulose from cotton fibers was functionalized through a dissolution–regeneration process
with phosphonate-based ionic liquids (ILs): 1, 3-dimethylimidazolium methylphosphonate …

Two ionic liquids, N-hexylpyridinium acetate [HPyr][Ac] and N-hexylpyridinium
trifluoroacetate [HPyr][TFA], have been synthesized and studied as a dispersing solvent of …
