In this study, we report a unique strategy that utilizes ZnO and ZnS microparticles and rods as fire-retardant materials when coated onto cotton fabrics. ZnO and ZnO/ZnS microparticles or rods were grown or adsorbed to the surface of cotton fibers. Properties such as heat release rate, total smoke release, and mass loss rate of the materials were tested using a cone calorimeter. ZnO and ZnO/ZnS rods were able to reduce the heat release rate and total smoke release from 118 kW/m² and 18.3 m²/m² to about 70.0 kW/m² and 6.00 m²/m², respectively. The maximum average rate of heat emission and fire growth rate index, which is used to evaluate the fire spread rate, the size of the fire, and the propensity of fire development, were improved with these coatings and indicate that there are potential applications of these materials as fire retardants.

ZnO微结构作为棉织物上的阻燃涂层

在这项研究中，我们报告了一种独特的策略，该策略在涂覆到棉织物上时利用ZnO和ZnS微粒和棒作为阻燃材料。ZnO和ZnO / ZnS微粒或棒生长或吸附到棉纤维表面。使用锥形量热仪测试了材料的热释放率，总烟雾释放率和质量损失率等特性。ZnO和ZnO / ZnS棒能够将热量释放速率和总烟气释放量从118 kW / m ²和18.3 m ² / m ^2降低到约70.0 kW / m ²和6.00 m ² / m ²， 分别。这些涂料改善了最大平均发热量和着火率指数，用于评估火势蔓延率，火的大小和火势的发展，表明这些涂料有潜在的应用前景用作阻燃剂的材料。
