Abstract:
1. A process for producing a self-cleaning surface on a coated textile sheet, said process comprising: i) applying a plurality of hydrophobic particles having a nanostructured surface to a surface of a transfer-medium sheet, ii) applying a coating composition and a textile sheet to said surface of said transfer-medium sheet to which said plurality of hydrophobic particles having a nanostructured surface were applied to obtain a composite, iii) heat treating said composite, and iv) removing said transfer-medium sheet from the composite and transferring the hydrophobic particles to the textile sheet to form the coated textile sheet having a self-cleaning surface comprising the hydrophobic particles having a nanostructured surface, wherein the process for producing a self-cleaning surface on a coated textile sheet is carried out without the use of any adhesive, binder, or adhesion promoter.
