Abstract:

In order to obtain the super hydrophobicity in cotton fabrics through an environmentally friendly approach, the present study applied tetraethylorthosilicate(TEOS) as precursor, ethanol and water as the binary solvent, and successfully obtained the pre-condenser of silica sol. The cotton fabrics with the pre-condenser of silica sol, and the effect of finishing parameters was systematically studied on the hydrophobicity of fabrics, especially the correlation between the hydrophobicity and these parameters, including preparation of pre-condenser, addition of silane coupling agents and drying under low temperature. Results show that both rough surface derived from SiO2 nanoparticles on the fabric and hydrophobic aliphatic hydrocarbon chain bound to the fabric surface endows the fabric good hydrophobicity. The optimal parameters used to obtain fabric hydrophobicity in this research is as follows: TEOS(0.1 mol), ethanol(0.9 mol), water(0.8 mol), dipping and rolling with silica sol twice, and dipping and rolling with hexadecyl trimethoxysilane in ethanol. Under such optimal process, the water contact angle of cotton fabric reached to 152.1°, and the mechanical property is also improved.

Key words: silica sol, cotton fabric, polyster fabric, hydrophobicity, hydrophobic finishing, SiO2 nanoparticle
