The development of wearable electronics, energy storage, and smart sensing has significantly increased the demand for highly conductive circuits on textiles. Silver (Ag) is a preferred material due to its excellent electrical conductivity, antibacterial properties, and biocompatibility. However, the hydrophobic nature and low surface energy of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fabrics pose challenges for the adhesion of silver particles, limiting the mechanical durability and washability of conductive layers. This study proposes a novel strategy combining the synergetic pretreatment of PET fabrics using reducing agents (ascorbic acid and glucose) and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) to enhance the deposition of silver layers. The reducing agents facilitate the conversion of silver ions to metallic silver, while HPMC forms a uniform film on the fabric surface, providing anchoring points for silver particles through hydrogen bonding. The resulting silver layers exhibit high conductivity, uniformity, and durability, as confirmed by SEM, XRD, and XPS analyses. The treated fabrics demonstrate low electrical resistance and excellent abrasion resistance after multiple washes and rubbing. This method offers a simple, scalable, and cost-effective approach for constructing conductive textiles, with potential applications in wearable electronics and smart sensing.

This study explores a new approach to achieve a whitening effect on polyester fabric by utilizing a ground form of raw OB-1 (OB-1-G) in combination with dispersing agents. The whitening process parameters, such as whitening temperature, OB-1-G mass, and whitening time were optimized using the L 16 orthogonal array-based Taguchi methodology. The signal-to-noise ratio was carried out through a larger-is-better approach to augment the parameter responses, specifically the whiteness. The results suggest that the degree of whiteness of polyester fabric is significantly affected by the whitening treatment temperature (P < 0.05), with a contribution percentage of 93.87%. A whiteness index of 94.12 was achieved for the polyester fabric treated at the optimized conditions. The fabric treated with OB-1-G at the optimized conditions was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The investigation also included the correlation between the length of time spent in washing and rubbing, and their efficacy in achieving whitening outcomes. The research demonstrated the effectiveness of OB-1-G nanopowder in combination with dispersing agents as a fluorescent optical brightener for the optical brightening of polyester fiber with potential use in the textile industry on a larger scale.

In order to develop elastomer composite with high thermal conductivity based on polyester (PET) fabric and further prolong the service life and improve service safety, modified PET fabric was prepared. Initially, different content of carbon black was added into butadiene latex and phenolic resin to prepare complex emulsion. Then, the emulsion was coated on the fabric by dipping and rolling technique. The results showed that carbon black possessed excellent stability and could be dispersed in butadiene latex uniformly. Meanwhile, the viscosity of the complex emulsion was low. The absolute value of zeta potential exhibited that carbon black could promote the reaction of complex emulsion. In addition, the tensile properties and thermal conductivity were both improved after adding carbon black. When adding 5.3 wt% carbon black, the tensile strength of carbon black modified emulsion film could reach 6.57 MPa and the thermal conductivity could reach 3.16W/(m∙K). As a result, the thermal conductivity of 5.3 wt% carbon black modified emulsion-coated PET composite reached 3.43 W/(m∙K), which was 38.31% higher than that of pure emulsion modified PET composite. The results showed that carbon black was an excellent and low-cost nano-filler, which could be used to improve the thermal conductivity of PET-related elastomer composite.

A simple and effective surface modification of polyester (PET) fabrics with H 2 SO 4 (sulfuric acid) to improve the interfacial deposition of polypyrrole (PPy) on PET fabrics was presented in our work. Effects of H 2 SO 4 concentration on hydrophilicity of PET fabrics were analyzed by water contact angle measurements. Effects of H 2 SO 4 modification on deposition of PPy were investigated by electrical resistivity and color depth of fabrics measurements. Besides, the adhesion of PPy on PET fabrics was also discussed. The PPy-deposited PET fabrics were determined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). FTIR and XPS results showed that sulfonic acid groups appeared on PET fibers after modification which were contributed to improving deposition of PPy on PET fabrics. The improved deposition increased electrical conductivity of fabrics.

It is a great challenge to prepare highly crystalline photonic crystal (PC)-modified fabrics with saturated colors without sacrificing the wearing experience, such as breathability and softness, at the same time. Here, a spray coating process is developed to precisely assemble the colloidal PCs inside every yarn of the polyester (PET) fabric. High surface tension and high boiling point for the solvent of colloidal solution, as well as low twist angle, large weave cycles, and large tightness for the fabric substrate, are found to be favorable to the formation of high-quality PC-modified fabrics. In addition, the as-prepared PC/PET fabrics have saturated and durable colors thanks to the highly crystalline PC structures and the polyacrylate adhesives. They also possess good softness and high breathability as the precise colloidal assembly in the yarn avoids the blocking of weaving holes and cracks.

Polyester fabric is widely used in our daily life, while it is highly flammable and easy to produce melt dripping during combustion causing huge potential hazards. Endowing polyester fabric with flame retardancy and dripping-resistance simultaneously is still a difficulty. Eco-friendly polyethylenimine/phytic acid (PEI/PA) coating on polyester fabric was fabricated in this study. The limiting oxygen index value of coated fabric increased from 21.3% of uncoated one to higher than 40%. The dripping phenomenon of coated fabrics was completely eliminated. The coated polyester fabrics possessed good flame retardant durability after washing. Thermogravimetric analysis results indicated that PEI/PA coating promoted the char formation of polyester fabrics resulting in dripping-resistance. Scanning electron microscopy results demonstrated that PEI/PA coating could act through the intumescent flame retardant action. This study provides a facile method for durable flame retardant and dripping-resistant thermoplastic fabric using eco-friendly chemicals by the simple layer-by-layer assembly.

The exploration of novel and multifunctional coatings through composite nanomaterials design is crucial for developing next-generation polyester fabrics. Herein, we report an efficient approach of self-assembling MoO 3– x QDs on MXene (Ti 3 C 2 T x ) to fabricate multifunctional polyester fabrics. In a typical preparation, MoO 3– x QDs with an average size of 5 nm were uniformly distributed on the surface of MXene nanoflakes upon UV light. Then, polyester fabrics were coated with MoO 3– x QDs/MXene by dipping. The results demonstrated that the coated fabric had a decreasing trend in the electrostatic half-period from more than 60 s (untreated fabric) to 0.15 s and had excellent washing fastness. In addition, a similar phenomenon was found in smoke suppression, with the coated fabric producing 36.16% less smoke. More importantly, the sterilization rate of the coated fabric had reached 99% to E. coli and S. aureus under sunlight owing to the strong response of MoO 3– x QDs/MXene. This work provides a novel and facile strategy to design multifunctional coatings.

Caffeic acid (CA) was treated on the surface of polyester fabric (PET), and Fe2+was used as an intermediate to form chelates with CA to increase the roughness of the polyester surface. With the addition of n-octadecyl mercaptan (SH), the mercapto group reacted with the carbon–carbon double bond of CA on the PET surface through enol click chemical reaction. Meanwhile, CA was polymerized under UV radiation, and thus CA-Fe-SH-PET was prepared. The introduction of SH with a long carbon chain reduced the surface energy of the PET, in order to endow the polyester fabric with a superhydrophobic/lipophilic function. Combined with XPS and FTIR tests, the new carbon–carbon double bond’s binding energy and vibration peak were found on the fabric surface, indicating that CA was adsorbed on the PET fabric’s surface. After adding SH, the double bond disappeared, demonstrating that SH and CA occurred a click chemical reaction and were grafted onto the PET fabric’s surface. The water contact angle (WCA) of CA-Fe-SH-PET was about 156 ± 0.6°, and the scrolling angle (SA) was about 3.298°. The results showed that the modified polyester had a robust superhydrophobic stability in washing, mechanical friction, sun aging, seawater immersion, organic reagent, and acid-base erosion derived from the good adhesion of polymerized CA (PCA). At the same time, the modified polyester fabric had good self-cleaning, antifouling, and oil–water separation performance. It was found that the CA-Fe-SH-PET fabric had unique photothermal conversion characteristics, which can convert the absorbed ultraviolet light into thermal energy, providing a local warming effect due to rapid heating and improving the transmission speed of heavy oil (engine oil and diesel). The CA-Fe-SH-PET fabric can further prevent the transmission of ultraviolet rays, and the UV resistance of CA-Fe-SH-PET fabric is far higher than the UV resistance standard. The preparation method is simple, fast, efficient, and environmentally friendly, and it has better a potential application value in the oil–water separation field.

Waterborne polyurethane (WPU) is a commonly used surface finishing agent for the polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fabrics in various applications, including textiles, building interiors and vehicle interiors. However, the WPU coated PET fabrics are highly flammable. Effectively suppressing melt dripping during combustion remains a challenge, and there is a considerable demand for the self-healing property of the WPU coating in practical applications. Herein, we report flame-retardant and self-healing WPU (FRWPU/DMG) coated PET fabrics. The FRWPU/DMG are prepared by incorporating an epoxidized soybean oil-based phosphorus−containing polyol (ESO − DOPO) and a dimethylglyoxime (DMG) in the backbone. The resultant FRWPU/DMG coated PET fabrics can self-extinguish within 2 s after ignition in the vertical flame test. Throughout the whole test, there are no molten droplets and the damage length is only 7.6 cm. After being subjected to sandpaper abrasion, the FRWPU/DMG coated PET fabrics can self-heal within 24 h. Moreover, the FRWPU/DMG coating enhances the tensile strength of the PET fabric in both warp and weft directions, and demonstrates a certain wash resistance. This work provides insights into the design and preparation strategies for flame-retardant and self-healing PET fabrics.

With the development of infrared detection technology, to protect the exposure targets are more difficult than before. And traditional camouflage protection technologies have mainly focused on infrared stealth materials in fixed conditions by the adjustment of surface infrared emissivity or thermal insulation. However, with the increasing temperature of from engine, the risk of exposure possibility will greatly rise due to the change of emissivity and thermal insulation effect in reality. Hence, the development of intelligent infrared stealth materials that can respond to the temperature is an important tool for solving these problems. Here, we designed an infrared stealth fabric with macroscopic temperature-indicating adjustable emissivity, in which polyester fabric (PET) was used as the substrate, which was firstly modified with dopamine，3-thiolpropyltrimethoxysilane (KH-590) and N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAAM)，by clicking on chemistry to obtain the temperature-responsive effect of the fabric material, and coated with vanadium dioxide (VO 2 ) powders in waterborne polyurethane (WPU). Importantly, the emissivity of the VO 2 coating layer will decrease with the increase of temperature from 0.95 to 0.68. Meantime, the fabric will shrink with the rising temperature, successfully forming a heat-insulating air layer between the composites and the target, thus further enhancing the IR stealth performance with the air layer thermal insulation. As we expected, when heated to 50 ℃, the surface temperature of the resulting fabric remains about 30 ℃. Therefore, this research on temperature response intelligent fabric based on the combined action of low infrared emissivity and heat isolation offers novel insights for high infrared stealth materials’ fabrication.

In this study, ammonium polyphosphate (APP) was coated on the surface of carbon microspheres (CMSs) to synthesize the CMSs-APP (CA) three-in-one intumescent flame retardant (IFR). Then, CA was coated the surface of polyester fabric (CAP) by flame retardant finishing method to improve the flame retardant of polyester fabric. Morphology, thermal, flame retardant and other properties of CAP was characterized by SEM, TG, LOI, UL94 and CONE. The results show that when two layers of flame retardant (CMSs-APP) coated on polyester fabric (CAP2), the LOI value of CAP2 was 28.1% and the burning rating reached B1 class with no droplet drop during the UL94 test. The residue char has increased by 22.2%. The CA coating significantly reduced the heat release rate (HRR) and total heat release (THR) of the polyester fabric, with the HRR reduced by 51.0%, and produced a more stable and compact carbon layer during combustion. Moreover, the coated polyester fabric has excellent washing durability. Overall, CA flame retardant was coated the surface of polyester fabric endowed the polyester fabric with good flame retardant, broadening its scope of application.

The multifunctional textiles are interesting areas to be researched on. In this paper, the effect of the fiber nanocoating on the wrinkle recovery, air permeability and anti-Ultraviolet (UV) property of different woven fabrics using sol–gel method has been studied. The sol–gel method has various advantages over other methods. Along with these properties, no change in visual appearance has also been discussed in this paper. The dispersion of nanoparticles of titanium was obtained into silica sol. The characterization of nanocoating was done using Field emission scanning electron micrograph (FESEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) studies. The fabric wrinkle recovery properties, air permeability and anti-UV performance were analyzed using three different immersion timings into the nanosol. The results revealed that both wrinkle recovery properties and anti-UV performance have increased with respect to immersing time of the nanocoating although a slight decrease in air permeability and whiteness index of the fabric was also observed.
