This anisotropic surface induced uniform orientation of the LCs. The LC alignment states were also confirmed by polarized optical microscopy measurements. The InO/Ag composite films exhibited appropriate optical transmittance for the LC electronic device application. Moreover, LC cells manufactured using the InO/Ag composite films demonstrated improved LC polar anchoring energy, which is a critical parameter related to image stability. The cells also demonstrated reduced residual charge, which is related to the image sticking phenomenon.

This study develops and evaluates a sustainable, eco-friendly flame-retardant finish for polyester fabrics that enhances fire resistance while preserving the necessary mechanical properties for use in these surroundings. A layer-by-layer application method was employed, utilizing Diammonium hydrogen phosphate (DAP), gelatin, and silica gel to treat selected polyester and polypropylene fabrics. The treated fabrics were assessed for flame retardancy, thermal stability, and mechanical properties using TGA and FTIR analysis. Results showed substantial improvements in flame retardancy, with average burning times reduced to 3–5 s and char residue between 4.28% and 6.51%. TGA analysis confirmed enhanced thermal stability through increased residual char formation, while FTIR results indicated successful chemical modifications. Although there were minor reductions in tensile strength (up to 7.64%) and elongation (up to 16.36%), the fabrics retained adequate mechanical properties. These findings present a viable approach to achieving eco-friendly flame retardancy in textiles, balancing fire protection with the preservation of fabric integrity, and offering a promising solution for protecting cultural artifacts in fire-prone environments, thus contributing to both safety and sustainability in heritage conservation.</p><h3>Graphical Abstract</h3><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":664,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sol-Gel Science and Technology","volume":"114 3","pages":"1095 - 1108"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144091195","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The AFM microscopy demonstrates alteration in the surface morphology, with inclusion of CuO leading to decrease in the average roughness (Ra) of ZnO.

The GEAN coating, prepared without fluoroalkoxysilane using GPTMS (3-glycidoxypropyl-trimethoxysilane) and APTES (3-aminopropyl triethoxysilane) as precursors, exhibited hydrophilic characteristic with a water contact angle of 74°. In contrast, the incorporation of 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorooctyltriethoxysilane (PFOTES) as a fluoroalkoxysilane in the coating composition (GEAND) significantly increased the hydrophobicity, achieving a water contact angle of 111°. In addition to modifying surface wettability, the incorporation of 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorooctyltriethoxysilane (PFOTES) significantly enhanced the mechanical properties of the coating, including elasticity, impact resistance, and resistance to deformation. The physicochemical stability and adhesion performance of the coatings under humid and corrosive environments were evaluated through durability testing. The GEAND coating kept its adhesion and structural integrity for up to 720 h (30 days) under humid conditions, whereas the GEAN coating exhibited the loss of adhesion after 120 h (5 days). In salt spray testing, adhesion loss was observed in the GEAN-S and GEAND-S coatings after 24 and 48 h, respectively.

With only one precipitation cycle in methanol, the recycled PS was pure enough and the templates with particle size ranging from 168 to 350 nm could be obtained. The cationic surfactant - cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) could alter the zeta potential of PS nanoparticles. The positive zeta potential of 71.86 ± 0.3 mV could ensure the good stability of the nano-dispersed system and was essential for silica deposition to PS surfaces. The effect of CTAB concentration and PS amount on the particle size was investigated. Although changing the CTAB concentrations did not show a clear tendency, the particle size was increased when a higher PS concentration in tetrahydrofuran solvent was used. The core@shell structure of PS@SiO₂ was formed via hydrolysis and condensation of triethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) in the PS template solution.
