摘要
The present work aims to develop a hydrophobic surface with anti-bacterial capability on silk fabric with the help ofsilica sol gel, chitosan and hydrolysed hexadecyltrimethoxysilane (HDTMS) and to study the durability of coating inaqueous media (pH 7.4). Silica sol is produced by hydrolysing and condensing of tetraethoxysilane under alkaline conditionsand then applied on silk fabric. This is followed by hydrophobization on the silica sol-treated surface of the fabric byapplying hydrolysed HDTMS. Further, chitosan is applied on the silica sol-coated surface prior to HDTMShydrophobization for its antibacterial property. The fabric is immersed in aqueous medium for 30 days to test the stability ofthe coating. The hydrophobicity of the fabric has been assessed by measuring the water contact angle and the antibacterialproperty is measured by using the AATCC-147 test protocol. The developed fabric exhibits antibacterial and hydrophobicproperties. It is observed that there is a change in contact angle from 152.7° to 90.18° after 30 days of wetting and anincrease in anti-bacterial activity, i.e. the zone of inhibition from 1 mm to 5 mm. The wicking properties of treated anduntreated fabrics are measured to observe the impact of coating on wicking. SEM analysis has been carried out to determinethe change in surface morphology of the fabric, and FTIR is used to determine the changes in the surface functional groupsafter coating and after wetting of coated fabric for 30 days in aqueous media. Such hydrophobic silk fabric with an antibacterialproperty may be useful for the development of natural biomaterial and other technical textile products.
