Cotton adjacent fabric (ADJ cotton) is a textile made in conformity with the ISO 105FO2 standard of 100% cotton and is used as an antimicrobial and antifungal test fabrics in various industries. In this study, trichloro(1H,1H,2H,2H–heptadecafluorodecyl)silane (THFS) and silicon dioxide are used to manufacture fluorinated silica nanoparticles. The spray coating method is used to provide anti-biofouling and cross-contamination protection on the ADJ cotton surface. The presence of fluorinated silica nanoparticles on the coated ADJ cotton surface was confirmed by FTIR spectroscopy, SEM and CLSM. The water contact angle measurements show transition from Wenzel state to Cassie-Baxter state. The ADJ cotton with durable antifouling surfaces has been shown significantly reduce the attachment of biological contaminants (e.g., fungi, protein, and blood) and non-biological contaminants (e.g., soil, detergent, dust), which can improve personal hygiene in the food and hospital industries. |
