Abstract
Similar to the shells of many crustaceans, future textile will be equipped with a broad range of functionalities such as self-cleaning, antibacterial, anti-odor, etc., ideally simultaneously. This presentation will describe our strategy to functionalize textiles (denim jeans), with the incorporation of TiO2 and ZnO by applying the vapor phase infiltration (VPI) technique. We show that the VPI process can have a very positive impact on the wetting, UV blocking and antimicrobial properties of the textile. Furthermore, the durability of the hybrid fabrics has been investigated by simulated washing processes to demonstrate the applicability of the approach in real life.
