Abstract

This study aims to create fire-resistant performance of polyurethane (PU)-coated textiles by adding wool powder as a flame retardant on both cotton and polyester fabrics. A flame-retardant surface was therefore developed by coating the fabrics with a mixture of PU and wool powder and characterised by using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The experimental results demonstrated that with a coating thickness of 0.5 mm onwards, an improvement in the fire-resistant properties is observed. Unlike fabrics coated only with PU, the addition of wool powder allows the fabrics to resist the flame at 5 and 10 s. Water and air permeability properties of the coated fabrics were also evaluated and show interesting and complementary results. Integration of wool powder as a flame retardant is a promising approach to develop fire-resistant fabrics that can lead to wide applications in fire protection and safety.

聚氨酯羊毛粉末涂层棉布和涤纶布具有阻燃性能

本研究旨在通过在棉布和涤纶布上添加羊毛粉作为阻燃剂，提高聚氨酯（PU）涂层纺织品的阻燃性能。因此，通过在织物上涂覆聚氨酯和羊毛粉的混合物，开发出了阻燃表面，并利用傅立叶变换红外光谱和扫描电子显微镜对其进行了表征。实验结果表明，涂层厚度在 0.5 毫米以上时，耐火性能会有所改善。与仅涂有聚氨酯的织物不同，添加了羊毛粉的织物可在 5 秒和 10 秒内阻燃。此外，还对涂层织物的透水和透气性能进行了评估，并得出了有趣的互补结果。将羊毛粉作为阻燃剂是开发阻燃织物的一种很有前景的方法，可广泛应用于防火和安全领域。

期刊介绍： "Polymer Bulletin" is a comprehensive academic journal on polymer science founded in 1988. It was founded under the initiative of the late Mr. Wang Baoren, a famous Chinese chemist and educator. This journal is co-sponsored by the Chinese Chemical Society, the Institute of Chemistry, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences and is supervised by the China Association for Science and Technology. It is a core journal and is publicly distributed at home and abroad. "Polymer Bulletin" is a monthly magazine with multiple columns, including a project application guide, outlook, review, research papers, highlight reviews, polymer education and teaching, information sharing, interviews, polymer science popularization, etc. The journal is included in the CSCD Chinese Science Citation Database. It serves as the source journal for Chinese scientific and technological paper statistics and the source journal of Peking University's "Overview of Chinese Core Journals."
