Preparation of ZnO-Based Superhydrophobic and UV-Cutting Films on Cotton Fabrics
Oriented ZnO nanorod arrays were synthesized on cotton fabrics via a facile wet chemical process and subsequently the treated cotton fabrics were modified with hydrophobic chemical agent BAYGARDR AFF 300％ 01. The as-obtained products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), ultraviolet protection factor (UPF), water contact angle (WCA) and water contact angle hysteresis (CAH) respectively, the results of which reveal that the as-prepared ZnO nanorods were wurtzite structure and typical ZnO nanorods with 50nm in diameter and 300nm in length were prepared. The cotton fabrics treated in this method possessed an excellent UV protection factor rating of 50+. Superhydrophobic surface showing a high contact angle (151°) and low contact angle hysteresis (9°) for water droplet was obtained at the same time during this process. This surface-finishing process might successfully be used to produce multifunctional textiles.
