consisting of opposite-charged polyelectrolyte polyethyleneimine (PEI)
ammonium polyphosphate (APP) and polyacrylic acid (PAA)
were constructed on the surface of soft and porous ramie fabrics by layer-by-layer (LBL) assembly technique. Attenuated total reflectionFourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) and field-emission scanningelectron microscopy with an energy-dispersive X-ray (SEM-EDX)analysis confirmedthat PAA was successfully introduced into the bi-component PEI/APP multilayer flame-retardant coatings.The P/C (phosphorus/carbon) ratio was clearly increased on the surface of the ramie fabric with the increase of the number of layers. The effect of PAA as a supplementary acid source on the flame retardancy of the treated ramie fabrics was studied by thermogravimetic analysis (TGA)
microscale combustion calorimetry (MCC) and vertical flame testing (VFT).The results of the thermal propertiesshowed thatthe char residue of the coated fabrics at high temperature during thermogravimetric analysis was significantly enhanced as compared with the untreated sample. Furthermore
the microscale combustion calorimetry revealed a reduction for both peak heat release rate (PHRR) and total heat release (THR). The surface morphologies of all the untreated and treatedramie fabrics after VFTdemonstrated that the PEI/APP/PAA coated specimenpreserved the integrity of the original texture of the ramie fabrics
and a dense and continuous expansion carbon layer was formedon the surface of the ramie fabric. The carbon layer effectively prevented oxygen and heat from penetrating into the substrate
thereby giving the ramie fabric excellent self-extinguishing properties.EDX spectra also revealed that the ratio of P/O (phosphorus/oxygen) and P/C of the char of the treated ramie fabric became high after combustion test. Compared to the bi-component (PEI/APP)
n
sample
the introduction of the third component PAA seemed to work at low assembly cycles by increasing the charge density of PEI
thus to improve the add-on of the FR coating on the fabric
but the concentration of PAA had little influence on the assembly process. However
the same charges may repel each other from the confusion of APP and PAA with high layers
