Fluorine-free oil-proof agent and preparation method and application thereof

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.

Facile fabrication of eco-friendly flame retardant and superhydrophobic coatings on cotton fabrics

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.

Phosphate-enabled mechanochemical PFAS destruction for fluoride reuse

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.

Biobased Hydrophobic Solutions for Natural Textiles—Moving Beyond PFAS

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.
