Preparation of a reactive flame retardant and its finishing on cotton fabrics based on click chemistry

Abstract

In this study, the non-halogenated organophosphorus flame retardant dimethyl-[1,3,5-(3,5-triacryloylhexahydro)triazinyl]-3-oxopropylphosphonate (DHTP) was synthesized and immobilized on cotton fabrics for a flame retardant finishing using click chemistry. The reaction and surface morphology were characterized by scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Excellent flame retardancy was obtained by the limited oxygen index (LOI) and vertical burning tests. Thermal, mechanical properties, and whiteness of the treated cotton fabric were also assessed. The results demonstrate that this treatment could impart cotton fabric with flame retardancy due to the chemical bond formed between the flame retardant agent and the substrate.
