The invention discloses a method for preparing a superhydrophobic cotton 
textile by 
thiol-ene 
click chemistry modification. The method comprises the following steps of Step 1, pretreating cotton fabrics so that 
thiol groups are introduced to the 
fiber surfaces; Step 2, 
grafting thiol silane onto the surfaces of the pretreated cotton fabrics; and Step 3, soaking the cotton fabrics grafted with thethiol 
silane into a 
mixed solution prepared from 
ethyl acetate, 2,4,6,8-Tetravinyl-2,4,6,8-tetramethylcyclotetrasiloxane, octadecanethiol and 
benzoin dimethyl ether to take a reaction through UV 
irradiation, and after the reaction is completed, performing cleaning and 
drying to obtain the superhydrophobic cotton 
textile. The invention also discloses the superhydrophobic cotton 
textile prepared bythe method. The superhydrophobic cotton textile prepared by the method provided by the invention has the advantages that hydrophobic substances are grafted onto the surfaces of the fabrics in a 
chemical bond form; and the performance of resisting acid, alkali, 
water washing, friction, UV 
irradiation and the like of the superhydrophobic textiles can be improved.
