Hypothesis: Development of an ultra-robust superhydrophobic fabric with mechanical stability, UV durability, and UV shielding by a simple method is highly desirable, yet it remains a challenge that current technologies have been unable to fully address.

Experiments: Herein, the original fabric is immersed into the solution containing ZnO nanoparticle and PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane), and the fiber surfaces are uniformly covered by a ZnO-PDMS layer after thermal treatment at 110 °C for 30 min.

Findings: Droplets of water and corrosive liquids including strong acid, strong alkali, and saturated salt solution display sphere shape on the ZnO-PDMS coated fabric surface. The stable binding of ZnO-PDMS layer onto the fibers allows for the fabric coating with robust superhydrophobicity, and the coated fabric still displays superhydrophobicity after hand twisting, knife scratching, finger touching, and even cycles of sandpaper abrasion. The ZnO-PDMS coated fabric can also keep its superhydrophobic property when exposed to long term UV illumination, demonstrating its UV resistance. Moreover, the uniformly distribution of ZnO nanoparticles on fibers allows the ZnO-PDMS coated fabric to display UV shielding property.

假设：通过一种简单的方法来开发具有机械稳定性，紫外线耐久性和紫外线屏蔽能力的超健壮超疏水织物是非常理想的，但是仍然是当前技术无法完全解决的挑战。

实验：在此，将原始织物浸入含有ZnO纳米颗粒和PDMS（聚二甲基硅氧烷）的溶液中，在110°C热处理30分钟后，纤维表面均匀地覆盖有ZnO-PDMS层。

结果：水滴和腐蚀性液体（包括强酸，强碱和饱和盐溶液）的液滴在ZnO-PDMS涂层的织物表面上呈球形。ZnO-PDMS层与纤维的稳定结合使织物涂层具有强大的超疏水性，并且在用手扭动，刮擦刀子，手指触摸甚至打磨砂纸后，涂层的织物仍显示出超疏水性。当暴露于长期紫外线照射下时，ZnO-PDMS涂层织物还可以保持其超疏水性能，从而证明其具有抗紫外线能力。此外，ZnO纳米粒子在纤维上的均匀分布使ZnO-PDMS涂层的织物具有紫外线屏蔽性能。
