  • the mixture was then subjected to 30min ultrasonic treatment (VCX750 Sonics & Materials Inc.) to get a homogeneous suspension and immediately applied to a substrate. After drying at room temperature, the treated substrate was cured at 110 5 C for 1 hr. The surface showed water contact angle of 172.5 5 (on cotton fabric).
  • compositions containing TEOS (5ml) together with 1 ml of tridecafluorooctyl triethoxysilane (FAS), methyltriethoxysilane (MTES), phenyl triethoxysilane (PTES), octal triethoxysilane (OTES) or hexadecyl trimethoxysilane (HETMS) dissolved in 25 ml ethanol were prepared. Each solution was then mixed with ammonium hydroxide/ethanol solution (6ml 28% NH 3 -H 2 O in 25 ml ethanol), and stirred intensively at room temperature for 12 hr. The mixture solutions were then ultrasonicated for 30 min to produce homogeneous suspensions prior to application of the coating compositions onto various substrates.
  • FAS tridecafluorooctyl triethoxysilane
  • MTES methyltriethoxysilane
  • PTES phenyl triethoxysilane
  • OFTES
  • Polyester fabric plain weave, 168 g/m 2
  • wool fabric plain weave, 196 g/m 2
  • cotton fabric plain weave, 160 g/m 2
  • the solutions prepared above were padded onto the fabrics and dried at room temperature. Upon drying at room temperature, the treated substrates were further cured at 1 10 5 C for 1 hr.
  • the results of contact angle (CA) and sliding angle (SA) measurements are shown in the Table 2 below:
  • Each of the coatings formed using FAS, MTES, OTES, PTES and HETMS exhibited a core-shell particulate structure.
  • the silica particles formed using the different systems were also of similar size. Furthermore, the coating showed good coverage of the fabric surface treated by the coating.
  • the length of the non-hydrolysable alkyl group was observed to influence the properties of the resulting coating.
  • the alkyl chain length for MTES, OTES and HETMS is 1 , 8 and 16 carbons, respectively. It was observed that with the increase in the alkyl chain length, the contact angle value also increased. In addition, comparing the OTES to FAS (in which the six carbons in the alkyl chain was fluorinated), the fluorinated alkyl chain of FAS also led to higher hydrophobicity.
  • compositions containing TEOS (5ml) and various amounts of GPTMS and the alkyl silanes FAS, OTES or HETMS corresponding to the amounts described in Table 3 were prepared in 25 ml ethanol.
  • the solutions were mixed with ammonium hydroxide/ethanol solution (6ml 28% NH 3 -H 2 O in 25 ml ethanol), and stirred intensively at room temperature for 12 hr.
  • the mixture solutions were then ultrasonicated for 30 min to produce homogeneous suspensions prior to application of the compositions onto substrates.

  • the use of GPTMS in the coating composition may enable the coating to covalently bond to surface of the underlying fabric substrate and therefore help to improve the durability of the coating.
  • Polyester (plain weave, 168 g/m 2 ), wool (plain weave, 196 g/m 2 ) and cotton (plain weave, 160 g/m 2 ) fabrics were coated with a composition containing TEOS/GPTMS/FAS (5ml/0.2ml/0.8ml) in accordance with the procedure of Example 9 and the coated fabrics were then further treated by applying a composition containing TEOS (5ml), GPTMS (0.2ml) and FAS (0.8ml) to the coated fabrics to form a second coating layer on the fabric. The washing fastness of the multilayer coating was then tested. The contact angle of the multilayer coating before and after washing was measured and the results are shown in Table 4.
  • Example 11 In this example, TEOS/GPTMS/FAS coated polyester fabrics prepared in accordance with the procedure of Example 9 were dipped into hexadecylamine-ethanol solution (5wt%) then dried at room temperature. After drying, the fabric was cured at 80 5 C for 10min. The hexadecylamine treated fabrics were then rinsed with ethanol and dried at room temperature. The treated polyester fabrics were then tested for washing fastness and contact angle according to the procedure described in Example 9. The results are shown in Table 5.
