Abstract

The attachment of bio-fluids to surfaces promotes the transmission of diseases. Superhydrophobic textiles may offer significant advantages for reducing the adhesion of bio-fluids. However, they have not yet found widespread use because dried remnants adhere strongly and have poor mechanical or chemical robustness. In addition, with the massive use of polymer textiles, features such as fire and heat resistance can reduce the injuries and losses suffered by people in a fire accident. We developed a superhydrophobic textile covered with a hybrid coating of titanium dioxide and polydimethylsiloxane (TiO
