Abstract
⺠Superhydrophobic cotton was prepared by SiO2 hydrosol and HDTMS hydrophobization. ⺠We prepared silica hydrosols in the alcohol-free sol-gel system. ⺠The catalyst and surfactant concentrations affected the SiO2 particle size. ⺠SEM, SPM, XPS, and TGA confirmed grafting of SiO2 and HDTMS on the treated cotton. ⺠The superhydrophobic cotton had a WCA of 151.9Ì and a WSA of 13Ì.
