Abstract

Methods for polymerizing triallyl phosphate on a cotton fabric were examined under conditions feasible for application in a commercial radiation textile finishing process. Although triallyl phosphate does not polymerize with irradiation at low dose levels at room temperature in air under the specific conditions described, it was found that copolymerization of triallyl phosphate with acrylic acid derivatives can be used to produce flame-resistant cotton fabric. A cotton fabric treated with triallyl phosphate and N-methylol acrylamide and exposed to 2 megarads of radiation from high-energy electrons, in air at room temperature produced a flame-resistant fabric durable to 15 accelerated cotton mobile launderings.
