Excessive sweat secreted from the skin often causes undesired adhesion wetted textiles and cold sensations. Traditional hydrophilic such as cotton can absorb but retain it. A hydrophobic/superhydrophilic Janus polyester/nitrocellulose textile embedded with a conical micropore array inner surface that achieve directional liquid transport (with an ultrahigh water capability of 1246%) maintain human body temperature (2-3 °C higher than textiles) is demonstrated. When hydrophobic polyester layer...
Abstract In nature, many organisms are able to accommodate a complex living environment by developing biological wet adhesive surfaces with unique functions such as fixation and predation. Significantly, most of these outstanding originate from the specialized micro/nanostructures and/or chemical components natural organisms.
