摘要

Polyester/cotton (T/C) blend fabrics are highly flammable due to the particular “scaffolding effect,” which limits its application scope. In this work, a polyacrylic acid (PAA) flame-retardant coating was prepared by combining a conventional intumescent flame retardants (IFRs) with a hybrid of graphene and metallic tin (GnPSn) prepared by mechanical forces. The flame retardants were deposited onto the T/C blend fabric by surface coating method, and its flame-retardant and thermal properties were studied. The combined characterization of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and mapping proved that the coating system had been successfully processed to the surface of T/C blend fabrics. The results of limiting oxygen index (LOI) showed that PER-1/GnPSn-4 polyester/cotton blends obtained good flame-retardant properties with LOI of 25.0%. The thermal stability and combustion behavior of the blends before and after impregnation were evaluated by thermogravimetric (TG) and cone calorimetry test (CCT), and the peak heat release rate of PER-1/GnPSn-4 polyester/cotton blends was 51.2% lower than that of Pure Emulsion T/C blend fabrics, with an increase in residual carbon by 16.39%, which indicated that the addition of GnPSn altered the thermal degradation process and suppressed the combustion of the T/C blend fabrics, heat and smoke release during the combustion process. In addition, the results of thermogravimetric-Fourier transform infrared (TG-IR) spectroscopy of the samples showed that the intumescent composite coatings were flame retardant to T/C blended fabrics in both condensed phase and gas phase.
