Multifunctional textile finishing applications have raised concern over environmental issues due to multiple baths and complicated steps. The main focus of this study is the development of multifunctional textiles with superhydrophobic and antibacterial nanoparticles for medical purposes  via  a one-step electrospraying method. The pad-dry-cure method was also investigated. Silver chloride-titanium dioxide (AgCl-TiO 2 ) and dendritic polymer with methyl end group (CH 3 )-based (DP) coating solutions were applied. Coating solutions’ characteristics in addition to surface morphology, particle size, and distribution were investigated with nano size measurements, SEM, and FESEM images. Relative humidity condition effects were observed. Achieved functionality was investigated. Uncoated surface’s water repellency was dramatically improved. The water contact angle has increased from 125.4° (±2.3°) and reached up to 168.5° after electrospraying. Over 99% antibacterial activity was obtained for  Escherichia coli  and  Staphylococcus aureus  bacteria. Formed nanoparticles have multifunctional characteristics and extensive practicability potential for various kinds of applications.
