The invention relates to a fluorine-free flame-retardant PC resin composition, and a preparation method and application thereof. The resin composition comprises, by weight, 85-92 parts of PC resin, 5-8 parts of phosphazene flame retardant, 2-4 parts of flexibilizer, 2-4 parts of fumed silica, 1-3 parts of multi-wall Carbon Nano Tube (CNT),
Material

The application provides a fluorine-free oil-proof agent, a preparation method and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of textile assistants. The fluorine-free oil-proof agent is prepared by reacting fluorine-free oleophobic monomers with hydrophobic silica aerogel particles, wherein the fluorine-free oleophobic monomers have umbrella-shaped liquid characteristics, and the hydrophobic silica aerogel particles have a three-dimensional porous network structure. The fluorine-free oil-proofing agent can endow fabrics with good oil-proofing effect.

LATEST HUB PAPER

To address the challenge of the durability of eco-friendly flame retardants coated on fabric surfaces, a coating (SFR) on cotton fabrics combining superhydrophobic, environmentally-benign, durable flame-retardant properties was prepared through sequential dip-coating of ammonium phytate (AP) and N-dodecyltrimethoxysilane-modified mesoporous silica nanoparticles (D-MSNs), assisted by polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) adhesive.

Here researchers disclose a protocol that converts multiple classes of PFAS, including the fluoroplastics polytetrafluoroethylene and polyvinylidene fluoride, into high-value fluorochemicals. To achieve this, PFASs were reacted with potassium phosphate salts under solvent-free mechanochemical conditions, a mineralization process enabling fluorine recovery as KF and K2PO3F for fluorination chemistry.

PFAS are widely used in textiles for their hydrophobic properties but pose environmental risks due to their persistence and toxicity. This review explores natural-based hydrophobic coatings, such as waxes, fatty acids, and natural polymers, assessing their potential as sustainable PFAS alternatives.
