Background:

Multiscale hierarchical structures in nanomaterials offer enhanced functionalities.
Textile properties can be significantly improved by surface modifications with advanced nanostructures.
Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is a versatile material with applications in catalysis and antimicrobial coatings.

Purpose of the Study:

To fabricate polyester fabric coated with 3D hierarchically structured rutile TiO2 nanowires (THNWP).
To investigate the photocatalytic and antibacterial properties of the modified fabric.
To evaluate the superamphiphobic performance of the THNWP-coated fabric.

Main Methods:

Facile hydrothermal synthesis strategy for fabricating THNWP on polyester fabric.
Characterization of the 3D hierarchical nanostructures and their properties.
Fluorination treatment to achieve superamphiphobicity.

Main Results:

The THNWP-coated fabric demonstrated significantly improved photocatalytic and antibacterial activities.
The 3D hierarchical nanostructures, combined with monofilaments, created a ternary-scale hierarchy.
The fabric achieved outstanding superamphobicity, repelling liquids with surface tension as low as 23.4 mN m-1, attributed to trapped air pockets.

Conclusions:

The developed THNWP-coated polyester fabric exhibits enhanced multifunctional properties.
The unique ternary-scale hierarchy is key to achieving superamphiphobicity.
This approach holds great potential for the design of high-performance textiles.
