The use of nanomaterials in textiles provides many new opportunities and advantages for
users and manufacturers; however, it comes with some of its downsides and challenges …

Since ancient times humans observed animal and plants features and tried to adapt them
according to their own needs. Biomimetics represents the foundation of many inventions …

Aerogels have shown great potential as oil absorbents, but they typically suffer from poor
hydrophobicity and inferior mechanical property. Herein, anisotropic, superhydrophobic and …

In this paper, a super-hydrophobic cotton fabric was fabricated by low-pressure plasma-
enhanced chemical vapor enhanced deposition (LP-PECVD) with lauryl methacrylate (LMA) …

This research aimed to optimise the structure of the multifunctional water-and oil-repellent,
antibacterial, and flame-retardant hybrid polysilsesquioxane coating to increase its washing …

Superhydrophobic fabrics show great potential for use in functional gear, military clothing,
and other applications; however, the introduction of toxicity and degraded wearing comfort …

Abstract Flame-retardant SiO 2/APP@ PDMS fabric with superhydrophobicity was prepared
via ultrasound-assisted sol-gel method and dip-coatings, in which cotton fabric was …

We suggest a simple and reproducible strategy for fabricating durable superhydrophobic
coatings on the basis of series of functional random copolymers of alkyl methacrylates and …

ABSTRACT Poly (lactic acid)(PLA) is a biodegradable, brittle, and high‐cost polymer, which
can be applied over structural components and green packaging. In this study, we reinforced …

In the chapter, sol‐gel applications in textile finishing process such as flame retardancy,
water, oil repellency, ultraviolet (UV) protection, self‐cleaning, and antibacterial and …
