Abstract

This article briefly describes the development of nanostructured superhydrophobic fabrics fabricated by non-chemical finishing. The developed superhydrophobic fabrics exhibit human-and environmentally friendly properties with improved breathability and non-toxicity. The newly developed fabrics also have a high potential for practical applications.
