Oxygen plasma etching followed with spraying of hydrophobic suspension containing SiO 2  nanoparticles were used to construct superhydrophobic cotton fabric, and the adhesion behavior of the superhydrophobic surface to deionized water, dye liquor, sterile defibrinated sheep blood, and simulated blood solutions was studied and evaluated in focus. Results of the present study showed the water contact and water slip angles of the superhydrophobic cotton fabric were 158.6° and 7.3° with 5 wt% of hexadecyltrimethoxysilane (HDTMS). The plasma etching imparted uniform strip grooves on the fiber, which together with the deposition of SiO 2  nanoparticles constituted a dual-scale rough structure on the fabric surface. FTIR analysis showed the successful combination of HDTMS and SiO 2  nanoparticles and covering on the cotton surface. This superhydrophobic surface possessed hydrophobic effect even after 35 times of abrasion and immersion in strong acid or alkali solutions for 8 h. The surface tension and viscosity of simulated blood and sterile defibrinated sheep blood (SDSB) were similar, with a contact angle of only 139.7° and a slip angle above 20°. And their adhesion forces were calculated by the Cassie-Baxter equation to be 30.93 and 37.88 μN. Moreover, the droplets placement of simulated blood and SDSB on the superhydrophobic surface for 2 h caused trace adhesion but no penetration. This indicated that the superhydrophobic surface had anti-adhesion performance to the liquids. In conclusion, it was evident that the superhydrophobic fabric has good application prospects in the field of textiles for daily life and medical protection.
