Novel flame retardant and antibacterial agent containing MgO NPs, phosphorus, nitrogen and silicon units for functionalise cotton fabrics

Abstract

During this research, Magnesium oxide (MgO) nanoparticles were synthesised synthesized using Licorice root extract. Synthesized nanoparticles have been characterized using FT-IR, TEM and XRD. The analysis confirmed that the nanoparticles size were ranged from 20 to 40 nm with cubic structure. This nanoparticle was used in the formulation with new synthesised composite containing phosphor, nitrogen and silicon to enhance thermal and flame retardant properties of cotton fabrics. This composite has synthesised via reaction of 3-(hydroxy(phenyl)phosphoryl)propanoic acid and Triethanolamine, and then with triethoxy(3-isocyanatopropyl)silane. Prepared composite was confirmed through NMR and FT-IR measurements. Treated fabric with prepared composite and nanoparticles have been evaluated through elemental analysis, TGA, LOI, antibacterial, mechanical and physical properties. The nanoparticle coated fabrics with prepared composite showed a good degree of microbial resistance and excellent fire proofing rating

Recent developments in phosphorus based flame retardant coatings for textiles: Synthesis, applications and performance

“…Two-component FR system consisting of MgO nanoparticles and organic component 127 was formulated (Scheme 64) and applied to cotton and cotton/PET blend [170]. MgO nanoparticles were prepared from magnesium nitrate hexahydrate and Licorice root extract with solgel method.…”

Antimicrobial and Self-Cleaning Finishing of Cotton Fabric Using Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles

“…[1] Due to their distinct physiochemical characteristics in biological applications, metal oxide nanoparticles including zinc oxide (ZnO), magnesium oxide (MgO), titanium dioxide (TiO2), and iron oxide (Fe2O3) have found significant application. [2][3][4][5][6][7] The intriguing qualities of titanium dioxide nanoparticles, such as their optical, catalytic, long-term stability, and nontoxicity, set them apart from the others. [8][9][10][11][12][13][14] Also, its usages in textile finishing produce self-cleaning [15,16], antimicrobial, [17,18] ultraviolet (UV) protection [19,20], mothproofing [21], and flame retardancy properties.…”

Nanoparticles in sports garments: a review study

“…For example, mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) have been used in nanotechnology fabrics for antiperspirant and deodorant properties, as well as antibacterial performance (Hassabo et al, 2015;Hassabo;Mohamed, 2019). Conductive fabrics can be produced by mixing metallic threads with fabric fibers or functionalizing fabrics with a film of conductive materials, ensuring greater comfort and resilience, air permeability and waterproofing (Mazroua et al, 2019).…”
