As the security precautions with respect to new standards for the furnishing textiles in big platforms such as concert, theatre halls have increased, flame retardancy has become one of the vital required property for drapery fabrics. However, those kind of additional treatment processes may lead to some differences in fabric properties such as friction which should be considered for the consumers. This study aims to evaluate the influence of using different ratio of flame retardant chemicals (g/l) on friction coefficient of drapery fabrics. For this purpose, nine types of fabrics composed of three different weft density (9, 11, 13 threads/cm) were selected. The warp yarns were selected as 400/200 denier/filament while the weft yarns were selected as 800 /200 denier/filament textured micro polyester yarns. Three levels for flame retardant (0, 60 and 90 g/l) were determined as the finishing processes. After the dobby fabrics were woven and exposed to finishing treatments; Friction coefficient values were recorded with Labthink Param MXD-02. ANOVA tests were performed in order to evaluate the significant effect of weft density and flame retardant chemical ratio on friction properties of drapery fabrics. Additionally, SNK tests were conducted for the comparison of means of friction values of drapery fabrics produced at different weft density also of the samples treated with different flame retardant chemical ratio. Experimental results revealed that structural parameters and the finishing processes were influential factors on the surface frictional characteristics of the fabrics. It was clearly observed that surface friction coefficients of drapery fabrics decreased due to the flame retardant process.

Drapery fabrics are textile products utilized for home and decorative textiles. Recently there have been new functional requirements for the drapery fabrics such as flame retardancy, antimicrobial efficiency, UV protection, etc. This study has been conducted to investigate the effect of weft yarn type and weft density on drapery fabrics' burning behaviour, tearing strength and air permeability properties. "A special inherently flame-retardant yarn" was used as the warp and weft yarns of the woven drapery fabrics while "a special inherently and antibacterial yarn" was also used as the weft yarn in some of the sample groups. Two main fabric groups each consisting of 12 woven drapery samples with different weft yarns and weft densities were separately evaluated among themselves by using SPSS Statistical software package and bar graphs. Burning behaviours of the samples in terms of damage length and damage width with the ignition source were satisfying both for the drapery samples with the special inherently flame-retardant weft yarn as well as those with the special inherently flame retardant and antibacterial yarn weft yarns. In other words, usage of inherently flame retardant and antibacterial yarn as the weft yarns did not contribute negatively on the flame retardancy of drapery fabrics. The results of two-way ANOVA test indicated that weft yarn type was a significant factor for tearing strength in warp and weft wise while weft density and the interaction of weft yarn type and weft density factors were non-significant factors on tear strength values in warp and weft wises at significance level of 0.05. Additionally, correlation analyses revealed that weft yarn tenacity values were highly correlated with the drapery fabrics' weft tearing strength values. Moreover, weft yarn type, weft density and their interaction were influential factors on air permeability of the drapery fabrics at significance level of 0.05.

A novel phosphorus-silicon containing flame-retardant DOPO-V-PA was used to wrap carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The results of FTIR, XPS, TEM and TGA measurements exhibited that DOPO-V-PA has been successfully grafted onto the surfaces of CNTs, and the CNTs-DOPO-V-PA was obtained. The CNTs-DOPO-V-PA was subsequently incorporated into epoxy resin (EP) for improving the flame retardancy and dispersion. Compared with pure EP, the addition of 2 wt% CNTs-DOPO-V-PA into the EP matrix could achieve better flame retardancy of EP nanocomposites, such as a 30.5% reduction in peak heat release rate (PHRR) and 8.1% reduction in total heat release (THR). Furthermore, DMTA results clearly indicated that the dispersion for CNTs-DOPO-V-PA in EP matrix was better than pristine CNTs.

This study has developed novel fully bio-based resorcinol epoxy resin–diatomite composites by a green two-stage process based on the living character of the cationic polymerization. This process comprises the photoinitiation and subsequently the thermal dark curing, enabling the obtaining of thick and non-transparent epoxy-diatomite composites without any solvent and amine-based hardeners. The effects of the diatomite content and the compacting pressure on microstructural, thermal, mechanical, acoustic properties, as well as the flame behavior of such composites have been thoroughly investigated. Towards the development of sound absorbing and flame-retardant construction materials, a compromise among mechanical, acoustic and flame-retardant properties was considered. Consequently, the composite obtained with 50 wt.% diatomite and 3.9 MPa compacting pressure is considered the optimal composite in the present work. Such composite exhibits the enhanced flexural modulus of 2.9 MPa, a satisfying sound absorption performance at low frequencies with Modified Sound Absorption Average (MSAA) of 0.08 (for a sample thickness of only 5 mm), and an outstanding flame retardancy behavior with the peak of heat release rate (pHRR) of 109 W/g and the total heat release of 5 kJ/g in the pyrolysis combustion flow calorimeter (PCFC) analysis.
