Abstract:
By researching on the self-cleaning characteristic of nanometer material, and the dispersion and stability of nanometer particle, a kind of environmentally friendly nanometer finishing agent was exploited and developed. Application results of this nanometer self-cleaning agent on textile fabrics showed that this finishing agent had self-cleaning effect to remove capsicum oil. Generally speaking, over 10% dosage of nanometer material finishing agent would allow the self-cleaning effect completely in 24 hours. Meanwhile, after being finished with this self-cleaning agent, the fabric wearabilitie

Abstract:
TiO2 photocatalyst and copper-doped titania (Cu/TiO2) photocatalyst were prepared and both photocatalysts were used in the self-cleaning finishing of wall fabrics. XRD showed that the nanometer materials and textile wall fabrics were a good combination. By comparing the self-cleaning effects of two kinds of photocatalysts, the results demonstrate that textile wall fabrics finished with Cu2+-doped TiO2 photocatalyst have better self-cleaning effect under visible light.

AbstractBiological systems have the ability to sense, react, regulate, grow, regenerate, and heal. Recent advances in materials chemistry and micro- and nanoscale fabrication techniques have enabled biologically inspired materials systems that mimic many of these remarkable functions. This issue of MRS Bulletin highlights two promising classes of bioinspired materials systems: surfaces that can self-clean and polymers that can self-heal. Self-cleaning surfaces are based on the superhydrophobic effect, which causes water droplets to roll off with ease, carrying away dirt and debris. Design of t

Abstract:
Superhydrophobic surfaces exhibit extreme water-repellent properties. These surfaces with high contact angle and low contact angle hysteresis also exhibit a self-cleaning effect and low drag for fluid flow. Certain plant leaves, such as lotus leaves, are known to be superhydrophobic and self-cleaning due to the hierarchical roughness of their leaf surfaces. The self-cleaning phenomenon is widely known as the ‘lotus effect’. Superhydrophobic and self-cleaning surfaces can be produced by using roughness combined with hydrophobic coatings. In this paper, the effect of micro- and nanopatterned pol

Abstract:
AbstractIn this contribution, we briefly discuss how various physicochemical properties of surfaces affect the wettability and self-cleaning character of both naturally occurring and synthetic surfaces. Using a few selected examples from nature, we discuss the superhydrophobic effect and antifouling character of such surfaces and how these properties are associated with variations in surface chemical composition and topography. We also review a few special case studies aimed at adopting these biomimetic schemes to design and fabricate functional self-cleaning surfaces.

Abstract:
The self-cleaning sole cleaner designed in this paper is a kind of cleaning device widely used in large public places. It possesses functions such as washing, wiping, drying and self cleaning, and so can thoroughly clean sole. It is chiefly composed of pressure washing unit and self-cleaning wiping unit. The device washes the sand and mud adhered to sole by the pressure water coming out of the pressure cleaning head at first, and then wipes off the sole sewage by the wiping unit, finally dries sole. Main advantages of the cleaner are concluded to simple structure, good cleaning effect, energy

Abstract:
A global interest was awarded to study the natural superhydrophobic surfaces since the description of the Lotus Effect by Barthlott and Neinhuis in 1997. Natural biomimetic surface merits of micro/nano-roughness, water contact ˃ 150°, sliding angles ˂10°, and minimized free-energy characteristics would motivate the dynamic fabrication of superhydrophobic surfaces. This critical review introduces an architectural panorama of numerous structural designs of natural superhydrophobic surfaces. Also, it discussed the fundamentals of self-cleaning and wetting theories to develop superhydrophobic stru

Abstract:
This study examined the photocatalytic self-cleaning of novel nanofibers of co-polyester poly(1,4-cyclohexanedimethylene isosorbide terephthalate) (PICT). To obtain the self-cleaning property, zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles were blended into the solution of PICT at five different concentrations. The morphology of the nanofibers was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and the degradation spectrum of the target dyes was confirmed by Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. Especially in the TEM images, there was clear evidence of a u
