Abstract

This study investigated the potential of eco-friendly substances, namely Banana pseudostem sap (BPS) and phytic acid (PA), to enhance the flame-retardant properties of cotton fabric. The process involved applying various concentrations of BPS (100%, 200%, 300% and 400%) to pre-mordanted scoured-bleached cotton fabric. The treated fabrics were then analyzed for vertical flammability and LOI (limiting oxygen index). Results revealed that fabrics treated with a 400% concentration of BPS showed exceptional flame-retardant properties, with an LOI of 27.5%, compared to the control fabric, which had an LOI of 18.3%, representing a significant increase of 1.5 times. In the vertical flammability test, the BPS-treated fabric burned briefly and self-extinguished. In contrast, the control fabric exhibited sustained burning, with the treated fabric burning nearly 5 times slower, propagating at 26.5 mm/min. SEM images showed the deposition of flame-retardant finishes on the fabric surfaces. FTIR and EDX were employed to identify chemical entities in the fabric. Importantly, post-treatment evaluation of tensile strength and breaking elongation indicated no significant changes in the cotton fabrics, reassuring the quality of the fabric. These findings highlighted the potential utility of BPS and phytic acid as effective flame-retardant agents for cotton fabrics, offering promising avenues for sustainable textile manufacturing.

用香蕉假茎液对棉织物进行天然阻燃整理

本研究探讨了香蕉假茎液（BPS）和植酸（PA）这两种环保物质在提高棉织物阻燃性能方面的潜力。该过程涉及将不同浓度的BPS（100%, 200%， 300%和400%）应用于预浸渍的水洗漂白棉织物。然后分析处理后的织物的垂直可燃性和LOI（极限氧指数）。结果表明，处理400% BPS的织物表现出优异的阻燃性能，LOI为27.5%，而对照织物的LOI为18.3%，显着增加了1.5倍。在垂直可燃性测试中，经过bps处理的织物燃烧时间短暂且自熄。相比之下，对照织物表现出持续燃烧，处理过的织物燃烧速度慢了近5倍，传播速度为26.5 mm/min。扫描电镜图像显示，织物表面沉积了阻燃整理剂。利用红外光谱（FTIR）和EDX对织物中的化学成分进行了鉴定。重要的是，处理后的抗拉强度和断裂伸长率评估表明，棉织物没有明显的变化，保证了织物的质量。这些发现突出了BPS和植酸作为棉织物有效阻燃剂的潜在用途，为可持续纺织品制造提供了有希望的途径。图形抽象

期刊介绍： Cellulose is an international journal devoted to the dissemination of research and scientific and technological progress in the field of cellulose and related naturally occurring polymers. The journal is concerned with the pure and applied science of cellulose and related materials, and also with the development of relevant new technologies. This includes the chemistry, biochemistry, physics and materials science of cellulose and its sources, including wood and other biomass resources, and their derivatives. Coverage extends to the conversion of these polymers and resources into manufactured goods, such as pulp, paper, textiles, and manufactured as well natural fibers, and to the chemistry of materials used in their processing. Cellulose publishes review articles, research papers, and technical notes.
