Abstract
Highly conductive, durable, and breathable metal-coated textiles are critical building block materials for future wearable electronics. In order to enhance the metal adhesion on the textile surface, existing solution-based approaches to preparing these materials require time-consuming presynthesis and/or premodification processes, typically in the order of tens of minutes to hours, on textiles prior to metal plating. Herein, we report a UV-induced rapid polymer-assisted metal deposition (r-PAMD) that offers a destructive-treatment-free process to deposit highly conductive metals on a wide variety of textile materials, including cotton, polyester, nylon, Kevlar, glass fiber, and carbon cloth. In comparison to the state of the arts, r-PAMD significantly shortens the modification time to several minutes and is compatible with the roll-to-roll fabrication manner. Moreover, the deposited metals show outstanding adhesion, which withstands rigorous flexing, abrasion, and machine washing tests. We demonstrate that these metal-coated textiles are suitable for applications in two vastly different fields, being wearable and washable sensors, and lithium batteries.

Hierarchical Flax Fibers by ZnO Electroless Deposition: Tailoring the Natural Fibers/Synthetic Matrix Interphase in Composites. NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 12:2765. [PMID: 36014630 PMCID: PMC9415689 DOI: 10.3390/nano12162765] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/08/2022] [Revised: 08/03/2022] [Accepted: 08/09/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Hierarchical functionalization of flax fibers with ZnO nanostructures was achieved by electroless deposition to improve the interfacial adhesion between the natural fibers and synthetic matrix in composite materials. The structural, morphological, thermal and wetting properties of the pristine and ZnO-coated flax fibers were investigated. Thus, the ZnO-coated flax fabric discloses an apparent contact angle of ~140° immediately after the placement of a water droplet on its surface. An assessment of the interfacial adhesion at the yarn scale was also carried out on the flax yarns coated with ZnO nanostructures. Thus, after the ZnO functionalization process, no significant degradation of the tensile properties of the flax yarns occurs. Furthermore, the single yarn fragmentation tests revealed a notable increase in the interfacial adhesion with an epoxy matrix, reductions of 36% and 9% in debonding and critical length values being measured compared to those of the pristine flax yarns, respectively. The analysis of the fracture morphology by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray microtomography highlighted the positive role of ZnO nanostructures in restraining debonding phenomena at the flax fibers/epoxy resin matrix interphase.

Abstract
A new synthetic route was developed to modify cellulose nanofiber for water-repellent coatings with great sustainability after multiple washing cycles. Multiple functional groups were grafted on 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine 1-oxyl radical (TEMPO)-oxidized cellulose nanofibers (TOCN) to achieve superhydrophobic performance and strong adhesion on cotton cloth. First, hexadecylamine (HDA) was used to modify TOCN surface into hydrophobic derivatives via amidation. The amidation-modified TOCN (AMT) were then grafted with a polyisocyanate cross-linking agent (PCA). The final multimodified TOCN (MMT) had hydrophobic alkyls and isocyanate groups on the surface. These surface functional groups were confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). After spraying the MMT suspension on cotton fabrics, the isocyanate groups would react with hydroxyl groups on cotton fibers, leading to a uniform conformal layer of MMT on fabric surfaces. The MMT coating showed great water repellence and washing sustainability. A large contact angle of 150° and a small sliding angle of ∼10° were observed. The superhydrophobic performance retained even after 10 laundry washing cycles. Several examples were also demonstrated to show the capability and the possibility of applying this coating material for water-repellent applications.

Abstract
Limited robustness is a serious drawback for superhydrophobic coatings and degrades the performance of superhydrophobic surfaces in practical applications. Although fluororeagents have excellent durability for superhydrophobicity, their use has been restricted due to various health and environmental concerns. In this work, we describe a facile and efficient fabrication strategy for creating robust fluorine-free superhydrophobic composite coatings that are prepared by a simple dip-dry method, in which the H3BO3-incorporated SiO2-alkyl-silane coatings are deposited on woven cotton fabric surfaces followed by polydimethylsiloxane modification. The coated surface shows a large water contact angle of 157.95 ± 2° and a small sliding hysteresis angle (SHA) of 3.8 ± 0.6°, demonstrating excellent superhydrophobicity. The coated fabric surface also exhibited robustness and durability, withstanding a tape-peeling test (under 48.05 kPa) for around 80 repetitions and sandpaper rubbing (loaded 100 g) for 40 cycles. Furthermore, the coated fabric surface displayed self-healing and oil-water separation capacities. The developed superhydrophobic coatings in this study are robust, environmentally benign, and easy to fabricate, showing promising applications in textile industries.

Abstract
Dirt and microorganisms are the major problems in textiles which can generate unpleasant odor during their growth. Here, zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles prepared by sol-gel method were loaded on the cotton fabrics using spin coating technique to enhance their antimicrobial properties and water repellency. The effects of ZnO precursor concentration, precursor solution pH, number of coating runs, and Mg doping percent on the structures, morphologies, and water contact angles (WCA) of the ZnO-coated fabrics were addressed. At 0.5 M concentration and pH7, more homogeneous and smaller ZnO nanoparticles were grown along the preferred (0 0 2) direction and uniformly distributed on the fabric with a crystallite size 17.98 nm and dislocation density 3.09 × 10-3 dislocation/nm2. The substitution of Zn 2+ with Mg 2+ ions slightly shifted the (002) peak position to a higher angle. Also, the zeta potential and particle size distribution were measured for ZnO nanoparticle suspension. A superhydrophobic WCA = 154° was measured for the fabric that coated at 0.5 M precursor solution, pH 7, 20 runs and 0% Mg doping. Moreover, the antibacterial activities of the ZnO-coated fabric were investigated against some gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria such as Salmonella typhimurium, Klebsiella pneumonia, Escherichia coli, and Bacillus subtilis.

Abstract
Nanoparticles are very interesting because of their surface properties, different from bulk materials. Such properties make possible to endow ordinary products with new functionalities. Their relatively low cost with respect to other nano-additives make them a promising choice for industrial mass-production systems. Nanoparticles of different kind of materials such as silver, titania, and zinc oxide have been used in the functionalization of fibers and fabrics achieving significantly improved products with new macroscopic properties. This article reviews the most relevant approaches for incorporating such nanoparticles into synthetic fibers used traditionally in the textile industry allowing to give a solution to traditional problems for textiles such as the microorganism growth onto fibers, flammability, robustness against ultraviolet radiation, and many others. In addition, the incorporation of such nanoparticles into special ultrathin fibers is also analyzed. In this field, electrospinning is a very promising technique that allows the fabrication of ultrathin fiber mats with an extraordinary control of their structure and properties, being an ideal alternative for applications such as wound healing or even functional membranes.
