Durable non-wetting fabrics: the preparation and applications

Zusatztext

Air-permeable, super-liquid-repellent fabrics show strong resistance to various liquid fluids and have self-cleaning, anti-sticking, and anti-contaminating functions, which are very useful for development of function clothing. However, most of the liquid repellent fabrics are poor in durability.This book elaborated the development of durable super-liquid-repellent fabrics and explore novel property of liquid-repellent fabrics. It has resulted in two novel concepts to prepare durable liquid repellent fabrics. By combining liquid repellent with liquid absorbing features on different sides of single layer fabric, a novel directional-fluid transport property was observed.
