Abstract
Multifunctional cotton fabric holds great promise across domestic and healthcare sectors. However, the challenge lies in developing a simple, sustainable method to create versatile, multifunctional cotton fabric. Herein, we designed novel 3D bimetallic organic frameworks (Ag/MIL125-NH2) for the first time and fabricated BM125@COT, a superhydrophobic cotton fabric adorned with porous hierarchical grooves. This was achieved by spraying Ag/MIL125-NH2 onto the cotton fabric's surface, followed by post-synthetic treatment with non-fluorinated myristic acid, resulting in superhydrophobic BM125@COT. The coated fabric showed a water contact angle (WCA) of 162.2° and a water sliding angle (WSA) of 4° ± 1. Surface morphology, size, structural and chemical composition, and anti-wetting properties of synthesized MOFs and BM125@COT were evaluated by SEM, EDS, TEM, XRD, XPS, UV/Vis, ATR, DSC, and Optical Tensiometer. Durability tests, including splash tests, abrasion resistance, tape peeling, washing, pH effects, and ultrasonication cycles, underscored the fabric's robust mechanical stability and chemical resistance. Moreover, superhydrophobic BM125@COT demonstrated UV-blocking efficiency, impressive self-cleaning capabilities, and enhanced antibacterial activity. This low-cost, scalable, and sustainable fabric, fabricated through a straightforward one-step spray coating technique, holds immense potential for versatile applications.
期刊介绍:
The journal Carbon is an international multidisciplinary forum for communicating scientific advances in the field of carbon materials. It reports new findings related to the formation, structure, properties, behaviors, and technological applications of carbons. Carbons are a broad class of ordered or disordered solid phases composed primarily of elemental carbon, including but not limited to carbon black, carbon fibers and filaments, carbon nanotubes, diamond and diamond-like carbon, fullerenes, glassy carbon, graphite, graphene, graphene-oxide, porous carbons, pyrolytic carbon, and other sp2 and non-sp2 hybridized carbon systems. Carbon is the companion title to the open access journal Carbon Trends. Relevant application areas for carbon materials include biology and medicine, catalysis, electronic, optoelectronic, spintronic, high-frequency, and photonic devices, energy storage and conversion systems, environmental applications and water treatment, smart materials and systems, and structural and thermal applications.
