Layer-by-layer assembly is a simple and effective method which has been widely studied to improve the flame retardancy of textiles in recent years. In this article, flame-retardant and anti-dripping polyethylene terephthalate fabrics were successfully prepared by layer-by-layer assembly branched polyethylenimine and ammonium polyphosphate on their surface. The results of limiting oxygen index values and vertical burning test revealed that the flame retardancy and anti-dripping performance of polyethylene terephthalate fabrics were improved after the layer-by-layer assembly treatment; especially, the dripping phenomenon was eliminated when the number of branched polyethylenimine/ammonium polyphosphate bilayers was over 10. The influence of alkali treatment of polyethylene terephthalate fabrics before layer-by-layer assembly was also investigated. The results showed that alkali treatment of the polyethylene terephthalate fabrics would promote the combination of polyethylene terephthalate fabrics and the charged flame retardants indicating better flame retardancy. The results of thermogravimetric analysis revealed that layer-by-layer assembly treatment of polyethylene terephthalate fabrics would promote char formation both under the nitrogen atmosphere and under the air atmosphere which may act through condensed phase action. The scanning electron microscopy images of the char residues revealed that the layer-by-layer assembly treatment of polyethylene terephthalate fabrics would promote the formation of a compact and intact char residue, which was beneficial for the improvement of flame retardancy and anti-dripping performance. This research would provide the experimental basis for the effective flame retardancy and anti-dripping performance of polyethylene terephthalate fabric.

BTDA-TDI/MDI (P84) has been widely applied in gas separation, however, pinholes or defects on P84 membrane surfaces were formed in the membrane preparation process and directly weaken its separation performance. Herein, we developed an ultrafast polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) layer-by-layer assembly strategy via spraying method to heal the defects of the P84 membrane. Firstly, a very short assembly time 20-30 s was achieved by a UV-curing method. Secondly, both the PDMS spraying concentration and cycle times were optimized to strengthen the healing ability of PDMS. The P84-PDMS membrane with 3 wt % PDMS spraying concentration and 2 spraying cycle times significantly improve the H2/CH4 selectivity from 62.99 to 231.92 with a satisfactory H2 permeance (20.85 GPU). The layer-by-layer PDMS assembly strategy for healing defects of P84 membrane displays outstanding comprehensive abilities, with an easy manufacturing based upon ultrafast curing and excellent gas separation performance based on the defect-free membrane structure.

Intumescent coatings consisting of branched-polyethyleneimine (BPEI) and ammonium polyphosphate (APP) solution were successfully applied on polyester fabrics by the layer-by-layer assembly technique to enhance the flame retardant and anti-dripping properties of polyester fabrics. The surface morphology of fabrics revealed that the coatings thoroughly covered the fabrics. The assessment of the vertical burning test of thin material (UL-94 rating VTM 0) indicated that the flame retardancy of coated polyester fabrics was improved significantly as compared with the uncoated fabric. The self-extinguishing ability and anti-dripping behaviors of coated polyester fabrics were also enhanced markedly. The improvement of flame retardancy depends on the number of coating layers and the amount of APP. However, after washing, the flame retardancy decreases to some extent. The morphology of char exhibits the typical structure of intumescent char on coated fabrics. The assessment of mechanical properties revealed that the intumescent coating via layer-by-layer assembly did not deteriorate the strength of the fabric. The increasing number of coated layers leads to the slight increase of the breaking force of the fabric; however, the increasing number of layers and the increasing amount of prepared APP lead to increased rigidity of the fabrics.
