“…Wettability is a necessary condition for resin bonding [33], therefore, the higher surface energy of plasma-treated basalt fabric compared to un-sized fabric may explain the higher silicone content of plasma-treated fabrics compared to un-sized fabrics ( Table 1). The results are in agreement with a previous study where basalt/epoxy woven composites were treated with oxygen plasma [19].…”

In this study, the effect of pre-plasma treatment on the adsorption of silicone to enhance the heat transfer resistance of basalt fabric for protective clothing was investigated. Fabrics were treated with plasma prior to surface coating. Changes to the un-sized basalt fibre surface were characterized by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), scanning probe microscopy (SPM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and contact angle measurement. Furthermore, heat transfer and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of basalt fabric coated with silicone were assessed. The results show that the different percentage add-ons of silicone had a significant effect on the heat transfer rate of the un-sized basalt fabric. Plasma treatment changed the fibres physically and enhanced the uniformity of the silicone coating. A combination of the plasma treatment and silicone coating revealed a significant difference in the heat transfer rate compared to the silicone-only coated basalt fabric. This finding can potentially be used to both engineer and tune the performance of protective clothing.

“…1 In comparison with other fibers, nylon fiber has many advantages, such as good abrasion resistance, good moisture absorbency, high elastic resilience, high breaking strength, high ductility, excellent dyeing properties and low specific gravity, etc. 2,3 But its thermal performance is very poor, nylon fabric is easy to combust and produce melt dripping. Those shortcomings seriously limit extensive application of nylon.…”

Monomer of polyamide (PA66) and flame-retardant intermediate product (FR) were firstly synthesized, and the flame-retardant (PA-FR) was further gained by polymerization of PA66 and FR. The structure of PA-FR was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The thermal properties of PA-FR and the finished fabric were evaluated by thermal gravity analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Moreover, X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) showed that melting eutectic reaction occurred between PA-FR and nylon fabric. The experimental results showed that the limiting oxygen index (LOI) value of PA-FR treated fabric and PA-FR treated fabric after 10 laundries were improved to 28.8% and 26.4%, respectively. It implied that PA-FR had a good and durable function of imparting fire-resistance to nylon fabric.

The present study elucidates the morphology characteristic of nylon‐6 as protein immobilization film and their influences in biological recognition interface for a single‐use electrochemical immunosensor. A basic requirement of this polymer platform is to allow the testing analyte [conductive polyaniline‐Fe2O3‐glutaraldehyde‐conjugated‐N‐hydroxysuccinimidobiotin (PANI‐Fe2O3‐GA‐b‐NHS)] to access to the immobilized capture reagent [bovine serum albumin (BSA)] on a surface of the nylon‐6 film. As an immunoassay, the biochemical reaction between PANI‐Fe2O3‐GA‐b‐NHS and BSA takes place on a surface of the nylon‐6 support film, which then translated into measurable resistance signal through pulse‐mode measurement. The in‐house developed nylon‐6 film, N‐16B, with 16 wt % nylon polymer and methanol as nonsolvent had demonstrated the fastest lateral wicking speed (1.07 mm s−1) and excellent protein immobilization capacity (1650 ± 85.84 μg cm−3), leading to the higher electrical current signal with a minimal resistance of electrochemical responses (0.57 ± 0.04 MΩ). This work reflects the importance of the physical characteristics of the nylon‐6 film that determines the sensitivity and effectiveness of an immunosensor. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl.
