We report on a facile, versatile, and environmentally friendly method to prepare superhydrophobic fabrics by a simple dip-coating method in water-based suspensions and emulsions. All the materials used are fluorine-free and commercially available at a large scale. The method can be easily integrated into standard textile industrial processes and has a strong potential for the mass production of environmentally friendly superwater-repellent fabrics. The produced fabrics show good resistance to machine washing and acidic or alkaline treatments. In addition, it is shown that superhydrophobicity can be quantitatively predicted based on the combination of the roughness of the fabric and of the fiber coating.
我们报告了一种简便、通用且环保的方法，通过简单的浸涂法在水基悬浮液和乳液中制备超疏水织物。所用材料均不含氟，且大规模商业化。该方法可轻松集成到标准纺织工业工艺中，具有大规模生产环保超疏水织物的巨大潜力。所制备的织物具有良好的耐机洗和耐酸碱性。此外，还表明可以基于织物的粗糙度和纤维涂层的组合来定量预测超疏水性。
