Demonstrates enhanced multifunctional properties in cotton fabric, suggesting new textile applications.
This The demand for multifunctional textiles across various sectors has highlighted the limitations of conventional cotton fabrics. This research introduces a method to enhance cotton fabric properties by depositing calcium oxide nanoparticles (CaO NPs) via the pad–dry–cure technique. The resulting fabric displays exceptional multifunctional properties, including antibacterial, antifungal, flame resistance, UV protection, and superhydrophobicity. Antimicrobial evaluations showed strong efficacy against a spectrum of bacteria, even after multiple washing cycles. UV protection tests revealed a significant decrease in harmful radiation penetration, making the fabric suitable for outdoor applications. The improved flame retardancy provides important safety benefits, and the surface's superhydrophobicity supports self-cleaning qualities. According to this study, cotton fabric treated with CaO nanoparticles can become a high-performance, adaptable material ideal for protective, outdoor, and medical settings. This work offers a way to create cost-effective, environmentally friendly fabrics with multifunctional properties by advancing textile technology.
