This review summarizes the results of research published in recent decades on the main
directions in the functionalization of fibrous materials using surface modification. Methods for …

UV-blocking, superhydrophobic and robust cotton fabrics were successfully developed by
combination of polyvinylsilsesquioxane (PVS) and nano-TiO 2 for the first time. The …

In this work, zein, a by-product of the agricultural industry of corn, was used to impart
hydrophobicity and antimicrobial activity to textiles. The cotton textiles were functionalized …

Hydrophobic and antibacterial functionalization of cellulosic fabric (cotton) were performed
via a simple immersion process with two natural polymers: zein and rosin. Compared to zein …

Cotton fabric was treated with two-component water-and oil-repellent antimicrobial coatings
consisting of the commercial aqueous organic–inorganic hybrid precursors fluoroalkyl …

Superhydrophobic and UV protective textiles are of growing interest from the last few
decades. In this study, silica nanoparticles (SiO2) were synthesized by the sol-gel method …

A simple one-step superhydrophobic coating method for cotton fabrics based on a modified
silica hydrosol is presented in this study. The modified silica hydrosol was prepared by the …

Hydrophobic properties have been seen in nature since the beginning of time. When we talk
about hydrophobicity, what comes to mind is “surface or material that repels water. Mostly …

The development of composite coating with higher dispersive second phase is a crucial goal
to achieve its performance against wear. In this respect, an interesting experimental …

The antibacterial finishing of cotton-based fabrics has been achieved from quaternary
ammonium-based composite particles. This functionalization is based on the simple dilution …
