Fabrication of recyclable superhydrophobic cotton fabrics
Applied Surface Science, 2017Abstract Commercial cotton fabric was coated with SiO 2 nanoparticles wrapped with a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) layer, and the resulting material surface showed a water contact angle greater than 160°. The superhydrophobic fabric showed resistance to water-soluble contaminants and maintained its original superhydrophobic properties with almost no ...

Multifunctional cotton fabrics
Synthetic Metals, 2009Electrically conductive fabrics were produced by deposition of a thin film of doped polypyrrole on the surface of cotton fibres. In situ oxidative chemical polymerisation were carried out in aqueous solutions of pyrrole, oxidant and doping agents, at room temperature.

Textile Research Journal, 1970
A cotton fabric was artificially soiled and laundered with two different types of detergents at two different wash tem peratures. Samples laundered at 140°F were rated by subjective evaluations to be whiter, softer, and smoother than fabric laundered in unheated water. The type of detergent did not affect the softness or smoothness of the fabric.

Fabrication of superoleophobic cotton fabric for multi-purpose applications
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2019Superoleophobicity is of interest for practical applications such as liquid repellency, self-cleaning, stain resistance, anti-bacterial properties and oil–water separation. In this work, the superoleophobic coating on cotton fabric was applied by simple immersion in TiO 2 nanoparticles, perfluorodecyltriethoxysilane

Microencapsulation of tamoxifen: Application to cotton fabric
Colloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces, 2009Tamoxifen microcapsules and drug loaded medicated fabrics were investigated. The microcapsules were prepared using a complex coacervation procedure involving gelatin B and acacia gum. The morphology, particle size, drug loading capacity and in vitro release characteristics of the drug microcapsules were optimized for coating tamoxifen microcapsules ...

Functional finishes of stretch cotton fabrics
Carbohydrate Polymers, 2013Functionalized cotton cellulose/spandex woven fabrics with different structures namely plain (1/1), twill (2/2) and satin were produced. Factors affecting the imparted functional properties such as weave structure and constituents of the finishing formulations including ether or ester cross-linker and catalyst type, silicone-micro-emulsion, water/oil ...

Cotton Fabrics with Single-Faced Superhydrophobicity
Langmuir, 2012This article reports on the fabrication of cotton fabrics with single-faced superhydrophobicity using a simple foam finishing process. Unlike most commonly reported superhydrophobic fabrics, the fabrics developed in this study exhibit asymmetric wettability on their two faces: one face showing superhydrophobic behavior (highly nonwetting or water ...

Fabrication of superhydrophobicity on cotton fabric by sol–gel
Applied Surface Science, 2012Abstract A superhydrophobic cotton fabric was prepared by dip-coating TiO2 for four times and subsequent surface modification with n-octadecylthiol (ODT). The surface morphology, crystal structure and chemical composition are studied by SEM, XRD, and XPS, respectively.
