Chem Commun (Camb). 2015 Sep 28;51(75):14251-4. doi: 10.1039/c5cc06028a. Epub 2015 Aug 12.

Abstract

Water-repellent, self-cleaning and stain resistant textiles are of interest for industrial applications. Anthraquinone reactive dyes were covalently grafted onto cotton fabric surfaces obtaining bright colors with good wash-fastness properties and giving rise to breathable superhydrophobic textiles with self-cleaning properties.
