Abstract

Cotton Linen (CL) blended fabrics, extensively utilized in clothing, household items, and various applications, face limitations due to their inherent hydrophilicity, restricting their expansion into diverse fields. The emergence of multifunctional textiles has garnered attention, and the utilization of metal-organic framework materials in application development presents novel prospects for crafting versatile fabrics. This study focuses on creating a multifunctional composite, ZIF-8 CL blended fabric, boasting elevated hydrophobic properties through the incorporation of CL blended fabric as the foundational material. The experimentation involves compounding the fabric with ZIF-8, investigating the impact of different proportioning methods on the composite material. Characterization through SEM and other tests explores the influence of finishing conditions on the hydrophobic effect. The stability of hydrophobic CL blended fabrics is assessed via tests, including washing resistance, abrasion resistance, and exposure to chemical reagents. Results indicate that the PMHS fabric, post-hydrophobic protection and finishing, exhibits remarkable self-cleaning capabilities against water-based pollutants like mud, coffee and textile dye. The fabric displays excellent anti-sludge performance and demonstrates robust wear resistance. Moreover, it exhibits high stability under treatment conditions involving acid, alkali, and organic solvents. The findings contribute valuable insights and strategies for the future evolution of textile materials.
