| Abstract | ||||
| Textile hanging is a crucial element in interior design, and the pandemic has highlighted the need for unique products with special properties, such as textile hangings that resist microbes. Cellulose fabric, a biopolymer found in plants, animals, minerals, algae, and fungus, is a critical raw material for various applications. Nanotechnology is rapidly growing in architecture and construction, particularly in coating surfaces for functional features like higher tensile strength, self-cleaning capacity, fire resistance, and more. Water repellent textiles are essential in various sectors, and superhydrophobic surfaces, inspired by nature's lotus surface, have gained interest in both academia and industry. Superhydrophobic textiles are created by coating nanoscale particles onto the fiber surface and then post-fluorinating it for low energy. | ||||
