Coated textiles are used in a variety of applications, including blackout curtains and the development of waterproof fabrics for raincoats.
[1] The coating is an application of chemical substances on the surface of fabric that is to be made functional or decorative.
[2] Coatings use less material than other types of applications, such as exhaust or padding on stenter.
[5][6] Nanofabrics are coated with a wide range of nanoparticles to make the fabrics capable of enhanced properties such as ultrahydrophobicity, medical textiles (antimicrobial resistance), Ultraviolet protection, and elasticity.
[7][8][9][10][11]Nanofabric coatings create fabrics whose fibers have better durability and wearability, and less coating material is needed compared to conventional finishes due to the ordered structure.
