Abstract Lately, self-cleaning fabrics have attracted immense attention for their greater functionality and unique self-cleaning ability against contaminations. Typically, a self-cleaning fabric possesses superhydrophobic surface. Unfortunately, till date majority of the superhydrophobic surfaces are created by utilizing fluorinated compounds or carbon/inorganic nanoparticles knowing their adverse effects on human health and environment. Therefore, this article presents a simple methodology for developing a novel sustainable superhydrophobic coating with the aim to produce self-cleaning and healing fabrics. The coating was developed using cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) as the raw material. When applied this coating on various fabrics (cotton and polyester), they became superhydrophobic with WCA of 152-156°(±3), thereby most liquid droplets rolled like round balls on the surfaces, leading to form self-cleaning fabrics. Moreover, the coated fabrics can quickly restore the self-healing property upon heating.

一种开发用于自清洁修复织物的可持续纤维素涂层的新方法

摘要 近年来，自洁织物以其更强大的功能性和独特的抗污染自洁能力而备受关注。通常，自清洁织物具有超疏水表面。不幸的是，迄今为止，大多数超疏水表面是通过利用氟化化合物或碳/无机纳米粒子来制造的，因为它们知道它们对人类健康和环境有不利影响。因此，本文提出了一种开发新型可持续超疏水涂层的简单方法，旨在生产自清洁和愈合织物。该涂层是使用纤维素纳米纤维 (CNF) 作为原材料开发的。当将此涂层应用于各种织物（棉和聚酯）时，它们变得超疏水，WCA 为 152-156°(±3)，因此，大多数液滴像圆球一样在表面滚动，形成自洁织物。此外，涂层织物在加热时能迅速恢复自愈性。
