Straightforward and adaptable, superhydrophobic texture with predominant mechanical and chemical robustness has been prepared by a simple and fluorine-free dip-coating method using TiO2 and 3-(trimethoxysilyl) propyl methacrylate. The as-prepared cotton fabric displays strong resistance against diff...
