Coated fabrics are those that have undergone a
coatingprocedure to become more functional and hold the added properties, such as
cotton fabrics becoming impermeable or
waterproof. Coated textiles are used in a variety of applications, including
blackout curtains and the development of waterproof fabrics for raincoats. [1]
The earliest known coated fabric is
Oilcloth. Oilcloth is produced by the application of
boiled linseed oil. The use of boiled oils can be traced back to 200 AD.[4]
Nanofabric coatings create fabrics whose fibers have better durability and wearability, and less coating material is needed compared to conventional finishes due to the ordered structure.[12]
Use
The applications and uses of coated fabrics are numerous.
PPE kits, aprons, coverall and gowns for healthcare workers usable in viral diseases such as
COVID-19,[15][16] medical textiles with
protecting properties, body fluid resistance and antimicrobial surface.[17][16]
