  • Finishings For Textile Fibers and Fabrics to Give Hydrophobic Oleophobic and Self-Cleaning Surfaces
    Publication number: 20080214075
    Abstract: Methods for coating fibers and material to achieve particular properties such as water repellency, oil repellency and self-cleaning, are provided. These properties are achieved by pre-treating the fibers or material and subsequently coating with prepolymers and nanoparticles. The prepolymers are partly substituted with hydrocarbon groups or fluorocarbon groups. The nanoparticles may have surfaces treated with hydrocarbons or fluorocarbons. The prepolymers are fixed and hardened by irradiation with light of a wavelength in the UV or visible regions.
