TY - JOUR AU - AB - Textile is currently a promising material. Obtaining hydrophobic surfaces on textiles signi cantly increases its value when used in various elds. In this work we carried out experiments on textile processing. Treatment of textile materials in solutions containing aluminum allows to obtain a superhydrophobic surface. KAl(SO ) and AlCl solutions were used. It was found that treatment in AlCl 4 3 3 solution is more effective and allows to achieve a hydrophobic surface on textile with a contact angle of more than 150º. The hydrophobic surface retained its properties even after 30 days. Textile samples were investigated using X-Ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The X-Ray photoelectron spectroscopy results showed hydrophobicity in the treatment of textile materials is ensured by the formation of aluminum oxide on the surface. The dependence of the coarse calico contact angle on the AlCl solution concentration is determined. which demonstrates that when the concentration of AlCl solution increases (within the limits of variation considered), the contact angle also increases. Introduction Technical textile is widely used in such diverse elds as medical technology, aerospace and automotive industries, modern architecture and building, ltration and transport systems (Holme I. 2007; Çay A. et al. 2020; Karpushko TI - Superhydrophobic textile: treatment in aqueous solutions of aluminum salts DO - 10.21203/rs.3.rs-341002/v1 DA - 2021-04-01 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/unpaywall/superhydrophobic-textile-treatment-in-aqueous-solutions-of-aluminum-u3WMW4ZTd5 DP - DeepDyve ER -
