Radiografting of phosphorus Flame Retardants on Flax Fabrics : Competition between Homopolymerization and Grafting
Abstract : Many natural fibers have been used for a long time in textile industry as cotton and flax. Moreover, natural
fibers are getting more importance in composites industry as a substitute for glass, carbon, or a ramid fibers. However, they must be modified to overcome some disadvantages such as flammability. In previous studies, phosphorus flame retardants (FR) were grafted on flax fabrics by e-beam radiation. In the present study, the reactivity
of the double bond C=C of the P-monomers under e-beam radiation was investigated to control the grafting yield of various FR. Two phenomena are competitive during radiation step. The P-monomers can be grafted directly on the flax components or can homopolymerize inside the fibers. Phosphorus content reached 1.4 wt% using vinyl phosphonic acid. Grafting efficiency was assessed by X-ray fluorescence, Energy Dispersive X-Ray Analysis (EDX) / Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance analysis. Fire behavior of the modified fabrics was studied using thermogravimetric analysis, pyrolysis combustion flow calorimetry and a preliminary fire test. Self-extinguishing and non-flammable fabrics were obtained for phosphorus content of 0.5 wt% and 1.2 wt% respectively.
