Abstract:

In order to achieve the flame retardancy and super hydrophobicity for polyester/cotton fabrics simultaneously, bio-based chitosan (CS) and phytic acid (PA) were used to construct the flame retardant coating on the polyester/cotton fabric by using layer-by-layer assembly method. The fluorinated superhydrophobic finishing agent was used to treat the polyester/cotton fabrics, and limiting oxygen index (LOI), vertical burning test and water static contact angle were used to determine the flame retardancy and super hydrophobicity of treated polyester/cotton fabrics. Thermogravimetric analyzer was used to investigate the thermal stability of polyester/cotton fabrics, and scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used to view the morphology of polyester/cotton fabrics before and after treatment and their char residues after vertical burning. The results show that the LOI value of polyester/cotton fabric can reach 30.6% after flame retardant treatment by CS/PA coating, the static contact angle could reach over 150°, but the LOI would be reduced after superhydrophobic finishing. Polyester/cotton fabrics could achieve the flame retardancy and super hydrophobicity and a certain washing durability. The flame retardant and superhydrophobic treatment of polyester/cotton fabrics could improve their thermal stability at high temperature and promote the char formation. The CS/PA coating could act through intumescent flame-retardant action.

Key words: polyester/cotton fabrics, functional textiles, flame retardant treatment, super hydrophobic, phytic acid, chitosan
