Novel nanocomposites coating consisting of multiwall carbon nanotube (MWNT) and polybenzoxazine has been constructed onto ramie fabric through solution-immersion process. The adsorbed nanocomposites coating is a hierarchical three-dimensional interpenetrating network structure, and the surface coverage and density increase substantially with increasing repeated immersing cycles. Assessment of the superhydrophobic and conductive properties for the coated ramie fabrics demonstrates that the highest water contact angle reaches 152°, and the corresponding sheet resistance is 3410 Ω sq-1, which shows strong dependency on the number of repeated immersing cycles and concentration of MWNT suspension. This work provides a new pathway to design and fabricate novel nanocomposites coated natural cellulosic fabric for superhydrophobic and conductive applications.
