Abstract:

In order to enable the fabrics with multi-functions and solve the problem of uniformity of nano-materials on the surface of fabrics, ammonium phytate was synthesized from phytic acid and melamine, which were economically and environmentally friendly and hence widely used. The flame-retardant property of the fabric was endowed with ammonium phytate and in-situ growth of nano-silver on the surface of flame-retardant fabrics to prepare flame-retardant and anti-bacterial multi-functional textiles. The flame retardant and antimicrobial finishing processes of fabrics were optimized by orthogonal test analysis. The fabrics were characterized by infrared spectrum, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy and thermogravimetry. The results show that the limiting oxygen index of the fabric reaches more than 35% after two-dip and two-roll finishing with ammonium phytate salt, and the washing resistance of the fabric is shown possible to be improved. The flame-retardant fabrics have good bacteriostatic effect on Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus by in situ growth of nano silver. The surface of the finished fabric became rough and contains P, N and Ag, which indicates that ammonium phytate and Ag nanoparticles uniformed distribution are successfully grafted on the surface of the fabric. Finishing agent(PA-N, PA-N-Ag) have a certain effect on the formation of carbon layer on the surface of fabrics, and the amount of charcoal slag after burning is 27% higher than that of the original fabrics.

Key words: ammonium phytate, nano-Ag, flame retardant finishing, antibacterial finishing, in-situ growth, function finishing of cotton fabric
