Fabrics that go through a process of coating

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]
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]
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]
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]
