Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Textile Engineering
  • Sustainable Chemistry

Background:

  • Advanced protective textiles are vital for harsh environments, but current synthetic treatments challenge sustainability and the circular economy.
  • Developing durable, multifunctional textiles with eco-friendly properties is a significant challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a sustainable, biomimetic silk textile with enhanced protective functionalities.
  • To create a durable surface treatment for textiles that is stable in harsh conditions and recyclable.

Main Methods:

  • A novel surface treatment using aromatic polyorganosiloxane with quaternary ammonium structures was applied to silk textiles.
  • The treatment utilizes programmable, stimulus-responsive, reversible cation-π adhesion for robust bonding.
  • Durability was tested in various harsh conditions including underwater, saltwater, and extreme pH solutions.

Main Results:

  • The treated silk textiles exhibited high flame retardancy, antibacterial, and anti-mildew properties.
  • The biomimetic cation-π interactions ensured strong, water-insensitive cohesion, leading to excellent long-term durability.
  • The reversible adhesion enabled on-demand recycling, achieving a 100% recycling rate.

Conclusions:

  • This study presents a sustainable approach to creating smart, multifunctional textiles with superior performance in challenging environments.
  • The developed cation-π adhesion strategy offers a pathway for durable, recyclable, and high-performance protective textiles.
  • The findings contribute to advancing the circular economy in the textile industry through sustainable material innovation.
