Abstract Although pyrovatex has been widely utilized as commercial flame-retardant material, the discharge of poisonous formaldehyde is still a major concern. On the other side, fluorine-based materials have been successfully used to impart superhydrophobic textile surfaces, but they are highly expensive and extremely toxic. Based on these challenging concerns, we report a simple one-step method for the production of flame-retardant and water-repellent coating onto an electroconductive cotton-nickel (Cot-Ni) blend fabric. Firstly, the electroconductive cotton was prepared by weaving nickel strip twisted around cotton core yarns, which were then weaved with pure cotton yarns to introduce Cot-Ni blend fabric. Secondly a composite comprising ammonium polyphosphate (APP) and room-temperature vulcanized silicone rubber (RTV) was applied onto the electroconductive cotton fabrics via one-step pad-dry-cure technique. Results showed that the flame-retardant effect of cotton was enhanced due to the high binding of RTV with both APP and cotton fibers. Thus, different concentrations of APP were implemented in the composite to establish that only 100 g/L of APP with RTV presented an improved fire-retardancy. The surface of Cot-Ni fabric displayed different hierarchical morphologies relying on the concentration of APP. Moreover, RTV further enhanced the superhydrphobic nature of cotton surface. Importantly, the superhydrophobic activity was characterized by static water contact angle of the coated Cot-Ni blend. The CIE Lab colorimetric measurements of the coated Cot-Ni blend were also explored. The comfort characteristics of the coated Cot-Ni blend were assessed by measuring their air permeability and stiffness. Ultimately, these multifunctional cotton-nickel (Cot-Ni)/RTV-APP treated fabrics could be suitable for diverse applications, including firefighters’ wear, car seat mats, and grain storage containers.

In recent years, bamboo has been widely used for building materials and household goods. However, bamboo is flammable, so a flame-retardant treatment for bamboo is urgently needed. In this work, nano MgAl-layered double hydroxide (MgAl-LDH) coated on bamboo, which was called MgAl-LB, was synthesized by an in situ one-step method. To determine the optimal in situ time, the effects of different reaction times on LDH growth on the bamboo surface and the flame retardancy of the MgAl-LBs were investigated. The SEM observations show that LDH growth on the surface of bamboo was basically saturated when the in situ reaction time was 24 h. Abrasion experiments show that MgAl-LDH coating has good abrasion resistance. The fire performance of the MgAl-LBs was evaluated by cone calorimeter tests, which indicated that the THR and TSP of the MgAl-LBs were significantly lower than those of untreated bamboo. Taking into account the energy consumption problem, determining the reaction time of 24 h is the optimal reaction time. Compared with untreated bamboo, the THR and TSP of MgAl-LB prepared at 24 h decreased by 33.3% and 88.9%, respectively.

The commercial availability of inorganic/organic precursors for sol-gel formulations is very high and increases day by day. In textile applications, the precursor-synthesized sol-gels along with functional chemicals can be deposited onto textile fabrics in one step by rolling, padding, dip-coating, spraying or spin coating. By using this technology, it is possible to provide fabrics with functional/multi-functional characteristics including flame retardant, anti-mosquito, water- repellent, oil-repellent, anti-bacterial, anti-wrinkle, ultraviolet (UV) protection and self-cleaning properties. These surface properties are discussed, describing the history, basic chemistry, factors affecting the sol-gel synthesis, progress in sol-gel technology along with various parameters controlling sol-gel technology. Additionally, this review deals with the recent progress of sol-gel technology in textiles in addressing fabric finishing, water repellent textiles, oil/water separation, flame retardant, UV protection and self-cleaning, self-sterilizing, wrinkle resistance, heat storage, photochromic and thermochromic color changes and the improvement of the durability and wear resistance properties.
