Abstract
Poly(acrylic acid)/modified attapulgite/zinc oxide composite (PAA/BF-ATP/ZnO) was prepared by acrylic acid, modified attapulgite (BF-ATP), triethoxy vinyl silane modified ZnO using in situ polymerization, and used in cotton fabric for improving the flame-retardant and UV protection properties. FT-IR and TEM results showed that PAA/BF-ATP/ZnO composite was successfully prepared. The stability, percent conversion, solid content and rotational viscosity of the composites with different ZnO content were investigated. The results showed that the conversion of composites was all above 98%, and these composites also had good stability, when the content of ZnO was 0.2–1%. Composite was loaded onto the cotton fabric by the dip-pad-dry method. The results showed that the thermal and flame retardant properties of cotton fabric were improved after treatment with the PAA/BF-ATP/ZnO, the LOI of the cotton fabrics with PAA/BF-ATP/ZnO was reached to 24.4%, which was 1.3% higher than that of PAA/BF-ATP treated cotton fabric. The burning rate was reduced to 0.68 mm/s, which was 0.24 mm/s lower than that of PAA/BF-ATP treated cotton fabric.
