Abstract

Fabrics having an interesting unidirectional water-transfer effect have been prepared by a special coating technique to create a wettability gradient across the fabric thickness, and the treated fabrics also show considerably different breakthrough pressures on the two fabric sides.

      Reproduced from Ref. XX with permission from the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) and The Royal Society of Chemistry.
    • For reproduction of material from PCCP:
      Reproduced from Ref. XX with permission from the PCCP Owner Societies.
    • For reproduction of material from PPS:
      Reproduced from Ref. XX with permission from the European Society for Photobiology, the European Photochemistry Association, and The Royal Society of Chemistry.
    • For reproduction of material from all other RSC journals and books:
      Reproduced from Ref. XX with permission from The Royal Society of Chemistry.

    If the material has been adapted instead of reproduced from the original RSC publication "Reproduced from" can be substituted with "Adapted from".

    In all cases the Ref. XX is the XXth reference in the list of references.
