A Simple Surface Functionalization Method for Multifunctional Textiles with Flame and Vector Protection

Abstract

The technical objectives of this project are: Develop safer, durable and cost-effective fire retardant and insect repellant coatings for Nylon/Cotton (50:50 blend) aka Nyco. Covalent functionalization of safer, bio-derived flame retardant material, Phytic acid on Nyco. Plasma assisted deposition of permethrin (insect repellent) on Nyco. Characterization of thermal and flammability properties of FR Nyco. Evaluation of efficacy of the IR Nyco.
