Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of composite functional materials, and particularly relates to a cotton fabric with radiation heating and flame retardant composite functions and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, the demand for functional textiles in the fields of smart clothing, household items and safety protection has increased rapidly. In particular, the application of fabrics with both heating and flame retardant functions in cold protection and safety protection has received extensive attention. However, the current technical solutions still have obvious limitations in realizing these functions, and the specific analysis is as follows:

[0003] The current technical methods for flame retardant fabrics mainly include: 1. Traditional chemical flame retardants: Halogen flame retardants (such as bromides) or phosphorus-based flame retardants are used to introduce functional additives into fabrics. However, the problems of the above methods are as follows: a. Environmental pollution: Halogen flame retardants will release toxic gases during combustion, posing a threat to the environment and human health; b. Single performance: Most of them focus on single-sided flame retardancy in the gas phase or condensed phase, and it is difficult to provide comprehensive protection; c. Poor durability: Flame retardants are easy to gradually lose during washing or use, resulting in a significant decline in the flame retardant performance of fabrics. 2. High-temperature coating materials: Inorganic materials (such as ceramic coatings or silicon-based materials) are used to form a flame retardant protective layer on the fabric surface. The problems of the above methods are as follows: a. Affecting softness and comfort: Inorganic coatings are usually thick, increasing the rigidity and weight of the fabric; b. Complex process and high cost: High-temperature sintering or special treatment is required, and it is difficult to adapt to large-scale production.

[0004] The current heating function fabrics are mainly realized in the following ways: 1. Metal wire embedding method: Metal wires (such as copper wires or nickel-chromium wires) are embedded in the fabric, and the heating function is realized by passing an electric current. However, the problems of the above methods are as follows: a. The softness of the fabric decreases: Metal wires increase the rigidity of the fabric and affect comfort; b. Poor uniformity: The heat conduction and temperature rise are uneven, and hot spots or local overheating are likely to occur; c. Safety hazards: The breakage of metal wires may cause circuit short circuits or fire risks. 2. Conductive coating method: Conductive coating materials (such as graphene or carbon nanotubes) are sprayed on the fabric surface, and the heating function is realized by using their conductivity. The problems of the above methods are as follows: a. Insufficient coating adhesion: The coating is easy to fall off due to washing or friction, resulting in the attenuation of the heating function; b. Poor ultraviolet stability: Some coatings are easy to age under ultraviolet irradiation, affecting the service life.

[0005] Therefore, the existing multifunctional textile technology faces the following challenges in integrating flame retardant and heating functions: 1. Function conflict: Flame retardant and heating functions often require different materials to achieve, and these materials may be contradictory in terms of process or performance, resulting in poor effectiveness of the composite function; 2. Complex composite process: The process of combining flame retardants with thermal conductive materials on fabrics usually requires multiple steps, resulting in high production costs and low efficiency. 3. Lack of comfort: The materials or processes of existing technical solutions may have an adverse impact on the softness and breathability of fabrics, restricting their application scenarios.

[0006] Analysis of the root causes of the above problems yields the following results: 1. Limitations in material selection: Most existing flame retardants have toxicity or environmental pollution problems and are difficult to meet the requirements of green environmental protection; there is still much room for improvement in the adhesion, uniformity, and stability of heat-generating materials.

[0007] 2. Complexity of process design: The preparation of multifunctional coatings often requires high-temperature treatment or complex multi-step processes, increasing the production difficulty and cost.

[0008] 3. Lack of comprehensive performance: When realizing multifunctional textiles, the combination efficiency of flame retardant and heat generation functions is not high, and the use comfort such as the softness and breathability of fabrics is affected.

[0009] In summary, the existing technologies have problems such as unenvironmental friendly materials, single performance, poor durability, and complex processes in the research and development of flame retardant and heat generation functional textiles. Summary of the Invention

[0010] To address these problems, the present invention proposes a solution based on the layer-by-layer self-assembly technology of MXene and PDA to achieve the efficient combination of flame retardant and radiative heat generation functions, while ensuring the softness, durability, and environmental friendliness of the fabric, fundamentally overcoming the deficiencies of the existing technologies.

[0018] In some embodiments, the substrate in step S3 is a cotton fabric substrate, and the cotton fabric substrate is pretreated. The pretreatment steps are as follows: Wash the cotton fabric substrate with deionized water and ethanol, remove surface impurities and grease, and then place it in an oven at 55 - 65°C for drying for 2 - 3 h.

[0019] In some embodiments, in step S3, the specific steps of adopting the dopamine self - polymerization method and the hydrogen - bond and electrostatic - force adsorption method are as follows: Immerse the pretreated cotton fabric substrate into the dopamine solution prepared in step S1, keep it for 5 - 10 min, take it out and press out most of the liquid, and then dry it at 55 - 65°C for 10 - 15 min; Then immerse it in the MXene dispersion prepared in step S2 for 5 - 10 min. After taking it out, press to dry most of the liquid, and dry it at 55 - 65 °C for 10 - 15 min.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, in the preparation process of the present invention, each layer of the coating is dried to improve the adhesion and stability, and finally a stable MXene-PDA composite coating is formed.

[0021] In some embodiments, step S5 is further included. By using the electrostatic adsorption method, the obtained cotton fabric is immersed in the dopamine solution prepared in step S1 to obtain a cotton fabric with a top PDA layer.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: 1. High-efficiency flame retardancy: The synergistic effect of the gas-phase and condensed-phase flame retardancy mechanisms enables the fabric to meet the high-level flame retardancy standard.
