Construction of composite self-assembly coating based on chitosan for enhancing the flame-retardant and antibacterial performances of cotton fabric.

In this work, the step-by-step dip-coating (SBS) method was used to effectively improve the drawback of LBL by reducing the construction of a multilayer polyelectrolyte. Bio-based flame retardants, phytic acid (PA), and chitosan (CS) were further self-assembly on the surface of cotton fabric treated by epichlorohydrin-modified aramid nanofibers (AEP), ionic liquid (IL), and Cu ion. The pure cotton fabric was immersed in each dipping liquid only once, improving fire safety and antibacterial performance.

Organic Phosphoric Acid Doped Polyaniline-Coupled g-C N for Enhancing Fire Safety of Intumescent Flame-Retardant Epoxy Resin.

Two kinds of polyaniline coupled graphitized carbon nitride nanosheets doped with different organic phosphoric acids (CP@PA, with phytic acid; CP@NP, with amino trimethyl phosphonic acid) are developed by in-situ polymerization. According to the analysis of the section morphology and element distribution of epoxy resin (EP) composites, although CP@PA and CP@NP show completely different morphology, they can significantly enhance the dispersion of graphitized carbon nitride nanosheets in EP. Moreover, the different oxidation states of phosphorus contained in the CP@PA and CP@NP lead to varying effects on the fire safety of EP.

MOF-derived LDH modified flame-retardant polyurethane sponge for high-performance oil-water separation: Interface engineering design based on bioinspiration.

Frequent petrochemical spill accidents and secondary fire hazards have threatened the ecological environment and environmental safety. The traditional purification technology has the problems of high energy consumption and secondary pollution, which also brings new challenges to spill disposal. Herein, we demonstrate a biomimetic structure-based flame-retardant polyurethane (PU) sponge (FPUF@MOF-LDH@HDTMS) for continuous oil-water separation.
