Overview
The present invention relates to self-cleaning natural/synthetic textiles with hydrophobic coatings based on bifunctional polymer film mixed with nano particles obtained preferably from biogenic sources. The nanoparticles from biogenic sources are used as reactant for making the coating on the textile to create an inorganic layer over it. This inorganic layer is then impregnated with active nanoparticles such as but not limited to ZnO, CdS, Nb2O5, SnO2, SiO2, TiO2, Fe2O3 and ZnS, synthesized chemically to obtain a self cleaning surface.
