Beyond Surface Tension: Polarity-Governed Liquid Repellency of Siloxane Finish

Abstract Industry-standard textile liquid repellency tests, including AATCC TM118 for non-polar oils and AATCC TM193 for polar water/isopropanol (IPA) mixtures, classified performance primarily according to liquid surface tension (γLV). In this study, we systematically compared t...
