A Review on super oleophobic surface on Textile material

Textile Technology

The development of super oleophobic surfaces on textile materials has emerged as a breakthrough innovation with wide-ranging implications for various industries. Super oleophobic textiles repel oils and hydrophobic liquids, ensuring they roll off without leaving a trace. These surfaces are achieved through a combination of chemical treatments, physical methods, coatings, and nanomaterials, offering applications in fashion, healthcare, automotive, and environmental protection. Methods of creating super oleophobic surfaces involve chemical treatments using fluorinated compounds and silicones, nanostructures, plasma treatment, micro/nano structuring, coatings, self-assembling monolayers, nanoparticles, hydrophobic nanofibers, and topographical engineering. Evaluation methods include contact angle measurement, roll-off angle, oil repellency rating, oil absorption tests, durability testing, chemical resistance, water repellency, surface morphology analysis, wear testing, and real-world testing to assess the surface's performance. Applications of super oleophobic surfaces in textiles include stain-resistant clothing, medical and healthcare textiles, outdoor gear, industrial applications, automotive interiors, and filter media, offering benefits such as improved cleanliness, durability, and user experience.
