Coated fabrics are those that have undergone a coating procedure to become more functional and hold the added properties, such as cotton fabrics becoming impermeable or waterproof. Coated textiles are used in a variety of applications, including blackout curtains and the development of waterproof fabrics for raincoats. [1]

Coating

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.[3]

History

The earliest known coated fabric is Oilcloth. Oilcloth is produced by the application of boiled linseed oil. The use of boiled oils can be traced back to 200 AD.[4]

Types

Coated fabrics can be made in a variety of ways, depending on the coating ingredients used, such as chemical and particles. Rubber, plastic, and vinyl coatings are just a few examples.[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.[12]

Use

Lotus effect

The applications and uses of coated fabrics are numerous.

  • In manufacturing of pristine clothes.[13]
  • Self cleaning fabrics with lotus effect.[14]
  • PPE kits, aprons, coverall and gowns for healthcare workers usable in viral diseases such as COVID-19,[15][16] medical textiles with protecting properties, body fluid resistance and antimicrobial surface.[17][16]
  • Coated fabrics also contribute to fire-retardant fabrics.[18][19]
  • In distinctive areas, coated fabrics are used for transportation, industrial application, geotextile, and military use.[20]
