Consequently, the surface will be transformed into its original state and the superhydrophilicity would be transformed into superhydrophobicity of the films again
[81].
3 Conclusion
Superhydrophobic textiles inspired from lotus leaf have been developed and used
in various fields of life. Organic and inorganic materials that have been used for
hydrophobic textiles are discussed briefly in this chapter. Durable water repellent
textiles containing organic repelling agents could not provide superhydrophobicity because they only lower the surface energy, but, nanoroughness and surface
morphology should also to be considered for manufacturing of superhydrophobic
textiles.
Also, the risk associated with organic repellents like stearic-acid melamine and
fluorochemicals made their use limited in textile. Therefore, inorganic compounds
in the form of metal oxide nanomaterial along with silicone based repelling agents
are discussed in detail for development of superhydrophobic textile.
