Graft copolymerization modification of silk fabric with an organophosphorus flame retardant

In this paper, four kinds of silk georgettes with different density were chosen as samples. The flame retardant formaldehyde-free vinyl phosphate dimethyl-2-(methacryloyloxyethyl) phosphate (DMMEP) was grafted onto them by graft copolymerization technique. Some tests such as Limiting Oxygen Index (LOI), vertical flammability, wrinkle resistance and color fastness were examined. Through the discussion and analysis of the experiment results, the properties of original and treated fabrics were compared and suggestions were given for the flame retardant process and garment design.

Many countries enacted flame retardant legislation for apparel such as evening dress, and pajamas. But durable and formaldehyde free flame retardant finishing for silk is necessary and challenging. In this paper, three kinds of silk fabrics with different weaving styles for apparel uses were treated with a vinyl phosphorus monomer dimethyl-2-(methacryloyloxyethyl) phosphate (DMMEP) by a graft copolymerization technique using potassium persulfate as an initiator. The treated silk fabrics can be self-extinguished after being ignited with a candle like fire, can pass the vertical flammability test, and. show some decrease in permeability. Fabric bending, shear, compression, and drape were tested so that possible problems in garment manufacturing could be predicted, because these properties not only affect the appearance of silk products but also influence the garment making process. The sewing properties of the treated silk fabrics are also discussed.

Oil In Water Emulsion

In this paper, a flame retardant methacryloyl ethyl diethyl phosphoric amide (PN) containing nitrogen-phosphor for textiles was synthesized from phosphorus trichloride, absolute ethylalcohol, carbon tetrachloride, monoethanol amine, methacryloyl chloride. PN oil-in-water emulsion was grafted onto silk fabric by Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization (ATRP) method. The grafting technological parameters were investigated. The flame retardancy property of the treated silk fabric was indicated by LOI value, char length, after flame and after glow time.
