Antireflective coatings with stable hydrophobicity for solar tube were prepared via sol-gel method and hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) treatment. The coatings have a high porosity, groove-like surface morphology and a big static water contact angle. As a result, the coatings exhibit high transmittance even in high humidity environments. The transmittance peak can reach up to 99.02% which increased by 7% compared with the substrate and the wavelength band increased by more than 5% is from 438nm to 1000nm. After prolonged exposure to strong ultraviolet (UV) irradiation, the static water contact angle of the HMDS treated antireflective coatings decreased very small from 102o to 98o. In addition, the low-temperature tests showed the contact angle did not decline even at-50°C. The results suggest that the coatings prepared in present paper have stable hydrophobic and antireflective performance in the environment of strong UV radiation and low temperature.

Textile Fabric

This study intended to develop a healthy and environmentally friendly super-hydrophobic PET polyester textile fabric using a specific Fluoro Silane finish (SHF). A novel SHF was prepared and applied on a polyester fabric using a pad-dry-cure method. The finished fabric was evaluated for the degree of hydrophobicity, durability and stain repellence. The finished fabric exhibited static water contact angle greater than 170o and received 90 AATCC (4 ISO) rating that is recognized as super-hydrophobicity and this property was maintained even after a 50,000-cycle abrasion test. FTIR analysis identified the characteristic peaks related to Si-O-Si and C-F asymmetric stretching bands of the finish on the fabric indicating a robust attachment on the fabric. Finished fabric did not show any change in appearance or tactile characteristics of the fabric.

Nanotechnology modifications play a major role in textile industry due to extraordinary properties exhibit in fabrics due to nanomaterials. It offers different functionalities namely self-cleaning, wrinkle resistance, flame retardancy, protection from UV radiations or antibacterial property. Further, it is important to maintain cleanliness in aircraft upholstery always but the airliners have to bear a considerable amount of money to clean up the aircraft upholstery. Interestingly, nanotechnology can provide stain repellence property for fabrics in aircraft upholstery. This study covers a method of developing a stain repellent fabric which was stable even after 25 standard laundering conditions. In this study nanotechnology was used to modify a cotton fabric with stain repellant property. After nanotechnology modification, the surface wettability of the treated fabrics was characterized by static water contact angle measurements before and after 25 washes carried out under standard laundering conditions. Similar testings were carried out for the untreated fabric samples. The static water contact angle for the treated fabric was 161° with the recovery of 97.5% after 25 washing cycles. SEM and AFM micrographs were used to analyze the coatings. Further, the stability of hydrophobicity in the modified cotton fabric after 25 washes was also tested for tea, coffee, and water solutions which are vulnerable stain types in aircraft upholstery. It clearly proved that the modified cotton fabric even after 25 washes showed hydrophobicity for tea, coffee, and water. Therefore, it could be concluded that the developed modified cotton fabric can consider to be used as an aircraft upholstery.

The effect of compositing multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with polystyrene (PS) to fabricate nanofibrous membrane by electrospinning technique and comparing the direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) performance of the blank and composite membranes is evaluated numerically. Surface morphology of both the pristine and the composite membrane was studied by SEM imaging while the average fiber diameter and average pore size were measured using ImageJ software. Static water contact angle and porosities were also determined for both membranes. Results showed significant enhancement in both the hydrophobicity and porosity of the composite membrane by increasing the static water contact angle from 145.4° for the pristine PS membrane to 155° for the PS/MWCNTs composite membrane while the porosity was increased by 28%. Simulation results showed that at any given feed inlet temperature, the PS/MWCNTs membrane have higher permeate flux and better overall system performance.

A robust superhydrophobic organosilica sol-gel-based coating on a cotton fabric substrate was successfully fabricated via a cost-effective one-step method. The coating was prepared by modification of silica nanoparticles with siloxane having long alkyl chain that allow to reduce surface energy. The coating on cotton fabric exhibited water contact angle of 151.6°. The surface morphology was evaluated by scanning electron microscopy, and surface chemical composition was measured with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Results showed the enhanced superhydrophobicity that was attributed to the synergistic effect of roughness created by the random distribution of silica nanoparticles and the low surface energy imparted of long-chain alkane siloxane. In addition, the coating also showed excellent durability against washing treatments. Even after washed for 30 times, the specimen still had a water contact angle of 130°, indicating an obvious water-repellent property. With this outstanding property, the robust superhydrophobic coating exhibited a prospective application in textiles and plastics.

A new kind of microsphere filler was synthesized with octyltrimethoxysilane (WD13) and tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) by sol-gel method. The morphology of the filler was measured by TEM. The so synthesized spheres were added into the silicone rubber. Both the strain-stress and the water contact angle of the silicone rubber were researched. The results showed that both the mechanical property and the hydrophobic performance of the composite were improved compared with the blank specimen. The possible strengthen mechanism of the filler was discussed. The neotype silica sphere researched in this paper could react with the silicone rubber chains which perfects the vulcanization of the silicone rubber. This kind of sphere filler exhibits many merits for usage as filler.

nano-SiO2 modified core-shell polyacrylate composite emulsion was synthesized by seeded semi-continuous starved pre-emulsion polymerization and sol-gel technique. The influence of 3-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane(KH-570), tetraethoxysilane(TEOS) on the properties of emulsion and film were studied. The SiO2/silicone polyacrylate composite latex and the resultant films were characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR), differential scanning calorimeter(DSC), thermogravimetric analysis(TGA), water contact angle goniometer (WCAG). The results showed that organic silicon and nano-SiO2 were effectively grafted to the polyacrylate molecular chain. We can observed there are two glass transition temperatures (Tg) in the DSC curve. The water contact angle (WCA) on the PAE film and SSPAE film separately attained 62.5°and 85.5°.
