Abstract Although cotton fabric is widely used in various fields because of its unique advantages, it has the disadvantages of flammability and poor ultraviolet protection. By combining diethylenetriamine(DETA)、phytic acid (PA) and tannic acid(TA) on cotton fabric, a chemical reaction intumescent flame retardant cotton fabric with anti-ultraviolet and anti-flame retardant was developed. The flame retardant and ultraviolet resistance of cotton fabric were characterized by limiting oxygen index (LOI) test, vertical combustion test, cone calorimetry test and ultraviolet resistance test. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and other tests were used to analyze the chemical composition, surface morphology and residual carbon after combustion of the cotton fabric, and it was confirmed that the modified cotton fabric has good ultraviolet resistance and flame retardant performance. In this study, an eco-friendly cotton fabric treatment method was proposed, which made cotton fabric have anti-ultraviolet and flame retardant properties, and a new application of tannic acid and phytic acid in ultraviolet protection and flame retardant of fabric was put forward.

New hybrid sol–gel coatings based on tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and phytic acid (PA) were designed and applied to cotton; the flame-retardant properties of the treated fabrics were thoroughly investigated by means of flame-spread and forced-combustion tests. The first goal was to identify the TEOS:PA weight ratio that allowed the achievement of the best flame-retardant properties, with the lowest final dry add-on on the fabrics. Therefore, different TEOS:PA sols were prepared and applied to cotton, and the resulting coated fabrics were thoroughly investigated. In particular, solid-state NMR spectroscopy was exploited for assessing the condensation degree during the sol–gel process, even for evaluating the occurrence of possible reactions between phytic acid and the cellulosic substrate or the alkoxy precursor. It was found that a total dry add-on of 16 wt % together with 70:30 TEOS:PA weight ratio provided cotton with self-extinction, as clearly indicated by flame-spread tests. This formulation was further investigated in forced-combustion tests: a significant reduction of heat release rate (HRR), of the peak of HRR, and of total heat release (THR) was found, together with a remarkable increase of the residues after the test. Unfortunately, the treated fabrics were not resistant to washing cycles, as they significantly lost their flame-retardant properties, consequently to the partial removal of the deposited hybrid coatings.
