“…After adding TA, the tensile strength of CF is 26.6 MPa, and that of CF-DETA-TA-PA is 24.0 MPa, which can be seen that the addition of PA causes the tensile strength of the CF to decrease. Generally speaking, the tensile strength and elongation at break of CF slightly decreased after modification (Tania and Ali, 2020; Muzaffar et al. , 2021).…”

PurposeIn this study, an eco-friendly cotton fabric (CF) treatment method was proposed to induce anti-ultraviolet and flame retardant properties, and a new application of tannic acid (TA) and phytic acid (PA) in ultraviolet protection and flame retardant fabric was put forward.Design/methodology/approachBy combining diethylenetriamine, PA and TA on CF, a chemical reaction intumescent flame retardant CF with anti-ultraviolet and anti-flame retardance was developed.FindingsThe flame retardant and ultraviolet resistance of CF were characterized by LOI, vertical combustion, cone calorimetry and ultraviolet resistance testing. SEM, XPS, FTIR and other tests were used to analyze the chemical composition, surface morphology and residual carbon after combustion of the CF, and it was confirmed that the modified CF has good ultraviolet resistance and flame retardant performance.Originality/valueIn this study, an eco-friendly CF treatment method was proposed to induce anti-ultraviolet and flame retardant properties, and a new application of TA and PA in ultraviolet protection and flame retardant fabric was put forward.

“…They prepared the PUDs by using polyethylene glycol as polyol, which reacted with the IPDI, DMPA, and polymer chains were extended with the different contents of the nano chitosan/BDO. 55 When PUDs are applied to fabrics, they form hydrogen bonding, Van der Waals forces, and polar attraction with the fabric substrate. As cotton fabric contains hydroxyl groups, these groups form hydrogen bonds with PUDs –NH and –C=O groups.…”

One of the major challenges facing the polymer industry now is finding sustainable and renewable alternatives to petroleum-based raw materials. To overcome such challenges, these novel water-borne polyurethane dispersions were prepared from bioresources (vegetable oil). Vegetable oil-based polyol is synthesized by epoxidation and hydroxylation methods from vegetable oil. Consequently, polyurethane dispersions are prepared by reacting the vegetable oil-based polyol with isophorone diisocyanate and dimethylol propionic acid to form the polyurethane prepolymer, which further reacts with 1,4-butanediol, and the final product is obtained by the addition of water. Fourier transform infrared analysis is used for the structural confirmation of the prepared vegetable oil-based polyol and polyurethane dispersions. A number of textile tests, including mechanical (tear strength (ASTM 1424) and tensile strength (ASTM D-5034)) and antibacterial, were conducted on poly/cotton plain weave fabrics after applying the synthesized dispersions by pad dry-cure methods. The hemolytic test method was used to check the biocompatibility of the synthesized dispersions. Results reveal that these finishes effectively increase the tensile strength of the treated fabric samples, such as white fabric samples, which show tensile strength values of (248, 255, 268 and 325 N from untreated 240 N) in the warp direction. The biological outcomes show the antibacterial and hemolytic activity of the dispersions are influenced by the presence of natural polyols in the dispersions. These results indicate that covering poly/cotton fabrics with vegetable oil-based polyurethane dispersions improve their tensile strength and antibacterial properties and they can replace petroleum-based polyurethane finishes.

“…The average tensile strength of cotton/PU yarn and cotton/6%PU/4%ZrC yarn is 9.73 cN/tex and 9.86 cN/tex, and the elongation is 9.01% and 9.28%, respectively. Compare with pure cotton yarn, the mechanical properties of the composite yarn have been improved, which may be due to the increasing inter-fiber crosslink resulted from PU coating (Muzaffar et al 2021).…”

In this work, polyurethane/zirconium carbide was coated on the surface of cotton ply yarn by sizing method. The effects of ZrC and PU concentration on the photothermal efficiency were studied. The results showed that when the concentration of zirconium carbide and polyurethane was 4 wt% and 6 wt% respectively, the infrared photothermal conversion performance of the composite yarn was the best, and its surface temperature increased from 22.1 °C to 77.3 °C after 5 min irradiation of IR lamp. The obtained composite yarn was examined by using scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The thermal stability, mechanical property and ultraviolet protection factor were also evaluated. The results showed that PU/ZrC coated on cotton fiber surface, improved tensile strength and elongation of the cotton yarn and rendered the cotton yarn excellent UV protection without deterioration to thermal stability. The durability evaluation showed the washing resistance and cycling stability of the cotton/PU/ZrC yarn were pretty good, which suggested a promising route for fabricating novel multifunctional yarns.
