 This paper discusses the development of multifunctional coatings for textiles with special uses. It focuses on the use of nanosoul coatings to modify the surface of cotton fabrics with fluorescent, repellent, or antimicrobial properties. The coatings were created from sol-gel reactions and contain tetraethyl orthosilicate, TOS, dimethixidomethylsilane, DMDMS, and dimethoxidifenylsilane, DMDPS. Curcumin derivatives were also embedded into these coatings to create a hydrophobic surface, fluoresce under certain conditions, and exhibit antimicrobial properties. Cotton fabrics coated with these systems provided a hydrophobic surface, had fluorescent and antimicrobial properties, changed color depending on the pH, and could be used in various fields where textiles provide signaling properties, self-cleaning, or antibacterial protection.
