Polyester-cotton fabrics (PTCO) have excellent properties and are ubiquitous in daily life, but their serious flammability brings great safety hazards to people's lives. This study used phenylphosphonic acid (PPOA) and urea as raw materials to prepare a flame retardant named POU. PTCO/POU was prepared by the pad-dry-cure technique, and the performance was compared with that of PTCO/PPOA, revealing many interesting phenomena. Based on the gas phase and condensed phase flame-retardant mechanism brought by P/N synergy, PTCO/POU had better flame retardancy than PTCO/PPOA did. The damaged length was 6.7 cm, and the limiting oxygen index (LOI) value was 30.1%. The char residues after burning were complete and denser with a higher degree of graphitization. Thermogravimetric analysis showed that POU can significantly reduce the R max of PTCO, and improve its thermal stability in high temperature zones. The CCT results showed that PTCO/POU had the longest time to ignition and the smallest fire growth index, which was of great significance for reducing fire risk. The TG-FTIR results showed that the volatile products of PTCO/POU were greatly reduced, and during the burning process, NH 3 was produced to dilute the concentration of combustible gases. In addition, PTCO/POU also had better whiteness performance than PTCO/PPOA did. This work greatly improved the flame retardancy of PTCO in a simple way and expanded its application prospects.

Textiles with antibacterial and antiultraviolet properties have gained significant attention because of their ability to protect the human body. This study presents the design and synthesis of a Schiff base for chitosan modified with salicylaldehyde and titanium dioxide (SCSB-Si-TiO2). SCSB-Si-TiO2 was coated onto cotton fabrics by using a layer-by-layer self-assembly method, resulting in functional cotton fabrics (SCSB-Si-TiO2/cotton) with excellent antibacterial and antiultraviolet properties. This functional textile demonstrated excellent antibacterial effects with inhibition rates of 95.22% against Escherichia coli and 98.99% against Staphylococcus aureus. Moreover, SCSB-Si-TiO2/cotton exhibited outstanding antiultraviolet characteristics, with a ultraviolet protection factor (UPF) value of 110.9, and maintained a UPF value above 82 even after 25 washing cycles. Additionally, SCSB-Si-TiO2/cotton exhibited good hydrophobicity with a water contact angle of 123.6°. The breathability of SCSB-Si-TiO2/cotton decreased slightly, and its tensile strength increased, which was sufficient to meet daily life requirements. This study presents an approach to the development of multifunctional textiles.

Two-dimensional (2D) nanosheet materials (MXenes) have unparalleled advantages in the field of flame-retardant multifunctional composites, but their dispersibility, flame retardancy and compatibility with the matrix are poor and need to be enhanced. In this research, we employed interfacial decoration and grafting modification to firstly introduce proanthocyanidins (PCs) onto MXenes surface (forming PC-MXenes) to increase the number of available active sites. On this basis, phosphorylated A-POSS was grafted onto PC-MXene (resulting in PAP@P-MXene) via a one-pot method, organic–inorganic hybrid flame-retardant PAP@P-MXene nano-coatings were subsequently constructed on the surface of cotton fabrics via an immersion method, and their structure-property relationships were verified. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) results revealed that PAP@P-MXene displayed a high char residue content of 32.0 % at 800 °C, illustrating its pretty good fire-safety properties. Typically, the residual char amount of coated cotton fabric with 12 wt% PAP@P-MXene (C-PAP@P-MXene-3) under a N 2 atmosphere was as high as 37.1 %. Additionally, the limiting oxygen index (LOI) increased to 31 %, while the peak heat release decreased by 79.83 %. C-PAP@P-MXene-3 also displayed a UL-94 V-0 rating and self-extinguishing ability, all of which demonstrated excellent fire safety performance. The unique 2D nanosheet structure of MXenes, along with their innovative structural design and synergistic flame-retardant strategy, endows the nanomaterials with good dispersibility and flame-retardant effects, which has led to the development of new flame-retardant strategies and expanded the potential applications of MXene materials.

SUMMARY Phloridzin has various functions, including antioxidant properties and the treatment of diabetes, and has long been used in pharmaceutical and physiological research. The glycosylation of phloretin is a key step in the biosynthesis of phloridzin. In this study, a genome-wide association study (GWAS) based on phloridzin content was applied, and the key gene GhUGT88F3 for phloridzin-specific biosynthesis was identified in cotton. A single-base deletion in GhUGT88F3 in haplotype I caused a frameshift mutation, leading to premature translation termination and a significant reduction in phloridzin content. Molecular docking revealed important amino acid residues for GhUGT88F3's UDP-glucose transfer activity. Additionally, the transcription factor GhMYB330 was found to positively regulate GhUGT88F3 expression through population transcriptome analysis and LUC experiment. Moreover, phloridzin content was significantly elevated in both GhUGT88F3 and GhMYB330 overexpression transgenic plants. This study expands the diversity of UDP-glucosyltransferases in plants and offers a potential strategy for the sustainable production of bioactive compounds with therapeutic potential.

The unprecedented pandemic has highlighted the need for textiles that rapidly inactivate pathogens to protect public health. However, how to achieve rapid, effective and durable pathogen inactivation with the minimum antimicrobial dose loading has become a major challenge for cotton fabric modification. Here, a surface engineering cotton fabric (Co-CMC@Cu 2+ ) was prepared by grafting carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC) onto cotton fabric and then loading with Cu 2+ via coordination. The Co-CMC@Cu 2+ with minimal copper ion dosage achieved rapid inactivation, excellent comfort, good biosafety, and durability. Specifically, Co-CMC modified with 12.5 mmol/L copper ion solutions achieved impressive bacterial reduction (BR) rates of 94.3 % and 89.3 % against E. coli and S. aureus , respectively, within 10 min of contact. Moreover, the bacteria were completely eradicated after 2 h of continuous contact. Additionally, Co-CMC@Cu 2+ achieved excellent phage reduction (PR) rates of 98.9 % and 100 % against phi6 and phi-x174 bacteriophages, respectively, within 30 min of exposure, highlighting its potential for viral inactivation. Furthermore, Co-CMC@Cu 2+ demonstrated exceptional durability for pathogen inactivation, with BR and PR values above 80 %, even after 150 washing cycles. This novel antimicrobial and antiviral cotton fabric will be a promising candidate textile to protect public health during a pandemic.

Water pollution by pathogenic bacteria is a major threat to human health, and less-than-ideal disinfection and antimicrobial strategies have been developed to address waterborne pathogens. A green light–triggered photocatalytic antimicrobial rose bengal (RB)–modified cotton fabric (CF) (RB-CF) was prepared for wastewater disinfection by covalently binding RB to a CF surface. The antimicrobial rates of RB-CF against gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus and gram-negative Escherichia coli were both greater than 99.99% due to the generation of singlet oxygen that inactivates microbes under green light irradiation. Most importantly, RB-CF exhibited high stability, negligible cytotoxicity, and no release of free RB during the photocatalytic process, which was the key to its long-term antimicrobial activity and use security. Its long-term antimicrobial activity was further verified by the repeated photocatalytic disinfection; more than 99.99% of bacteria were inactivated even after five cycles. Therefore, this work may offer a potential avenue to develop low-cost, non-toxic, and durable antimicrobial fabrics with great potential for industrial and health-care applications, including but not limited to water purification , wastewater disinfection, masks, and protective clothing.

In this study, silver microspheres (SMS) were introduced into cotton stalk porous-carbon (CSP) to prepare silver microsphere doping porous-carbon (SMS-CSP), and then SMS-CSP was used as the matrix of polyethylene glycol (PEG) to synthesize shape-stable phase change material of PEG/SMS-CSP. It was found that the introduction of SMS into CSP could not only greatly improve the loading capacity of the porous-carbon for PEG, but also could increase the thermal conductivity of PEG/SMS-CSP. Additionally, the method of introducing SMS into porous-carbon had the advantages of environmental protection and simple operation. Moreover, the raw material of cotton stalk is a kind of agricultural waste, which has the merits of wide source, low price and easy to obtain. Furthermore, in the preparation of cotton stalk porous-carbon, with the increase of pyrolysis temperature the thermal conductivity of PEG/SMS-CSP could be enhanced significantly. The mechanism about the enhancement of thermal conductivity was clarified, which could provide more basic theory for the study about the thermal conductivity of shape-stable phase change materials (ss-PCMs) based on porous-carbon.

Superhydrophobic cotton fabrics have received much attention in recent years. They have been constructed usually by lowering surface energy and increasing surface roughness. Because of the significant environmental harm caused by fluorine-containing reagents, difficult preparation techniques, and low wear resistance, finding a simple approach to prepare a fluorine-free, wear-resistant, strongly sticky superhydrophobic cotton fabric remains a challenge. In this study, we describe a fluorine-free superhydrophobic cotton fabric using the simple preparation approach of immersion, which creates nanoscale siloxane aggregates dispersible in organic solvents. The modified cotton fabrics are characterized by scanning electron microscopy, fourier-transform infrared, and energy dispersive spectroscopy. Excellent superhydrophobicity (ultrahigh water contact angle is 165.2° and sliding angle is 7.2° as well as excellent self-cleaning properties) has been easily applied to cotton fabrics. Superhydrophobic cotton fabrics also have good anti-fouling properties for many common types of liquids, such as milk, coffee, cola, etc. It has been established that these waterproof coatings exhibit outstanding mechanical endurance against water impact, abrasion, and laundering. Superhydrophobic fabrics have a wide range of possible uses due to their readily available coating materials, simple application technique, and strong mechanical endurance. Graphical abstract

The adsorption and diffusion behavior of polyethyleneimine with different molecular weights on cotton fibers was evaluated at a typical concentration of 1 g/L in textile industry by titration and fluorescence labeling techniques. Directly observing the penetration extent of fluorescently labelled polyethyleneimine inside the pore structure of cotton fiber by fluorescent microscopy provided the underlying mechanism for the traditional titration methods. The adsorption behavior of polyethyleneimine was shown to be highly dependent on its molecular weight. Polyethyleneimine with molecular weight of 10,000 was limited to the outermost surface of the yarn, and polyethyleneimine with molecular weight of 1800 uniformly adsorbed on the single fiber with few of them diffusing inside the fiber, while polyethyleneimine with molecular weight of 600 easily penetrated into the pores throughout the fiber cell wall. Additionally, extending the time, increasing the temperature, adjusting the pH and increasing the PEI concentration can also promote the diffusion of PEI into the fiber to a certain extent.

Superwettability materials with a single function cannot meet the needs of different oil-bearing wastewater separations. This study proposed a preparation method for the swappable superwettability on cotton fabrics. The superhydrophobic fabric surface that was wetted with ethanol transformed from being superhydrophobic/superoleophilic to being superhydrophilic/underwater superoleophobic, and returned to superhydrophobicity after drying. Regardless of whether it is the oil removal process or the water removal process, the flux of the fabric was above 15,300 L·m −2 h −1 , and the separation efficiency was over 98.6%. Although the continuous separation was conducted 50 times, the flux and separation efficiency did not change significantly. The prepared material could exhibit superhydrophobicity after being immersed in solutions of different pH and actual seawater for some time, even after 50 times of sand impact experiments, indicating excellent mechanical durability and chemical stability. Thus, the preparation strategy of the swappable superwettability materials can develop oil–water separation technology.

Aqueous reactive dyeing of cotton is considered to be environmentally unfriendly owing to its high consumption of water and salt as well as large discharge of wastewater. However, the industrial applications of current alternative dyeing technologies are difficult to realize due to different problems such as poor dyeing quality, environmental pollution and high cost. Herein, we developed a dyeing approach using hydrophobic deep eutectic solvent (HDES) composed of thymol from thyme leaves and menthol from Mentho haplocalvx Bing (two natural compounds with pharmacological function) to overcome the problems caused by reactive dyeing of cotton. HDES dyeing approach could achieve excellent dyeing properties of cotton by optimizing water content, pick-up and concentration of alkali solution. Dye fixation kinetics of HDES dyeing system was studied based on Lagergren pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order dynamics models, compared with aqueous dyeing system. The cotton fabrics dyed in Thy-Men system exhibited excellent levelness, satisfactory colorfastness and color strength without addition of salt. Furthermore, HDES can be reused for 5 cycles of dyeing and the dyed fabrics displayed consistently high color strength values. This dyeing approach provides substantial reduction in wastewater emission and consumption of freshwater and chemicals, which has considerable potential for promoting sustainable development of the textile industry .

The cotton aphid Aphis gossypii Glover (Homoptera: Aphididae) is a notorious agricultural pest that has evolved high levels of resistance to various insecticides. Innovative RNA insecticides, as potential green plant protection products, are anticipated to alleviate the significant issue of pest resistance. Herein, a rough-surface hollow mesoporous silica (RHMS)-based gene/insecticide delivery system was constructed for the co-delivery of CYP6CY13 double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) and the chemical insecticide imidacloprid for the effective control of A. gossypii . The hollow mesoporous structure of RHMS facilitates insecticide loading and further combines with dsRNA through electrostatic interactions to form nanoscale complexes, while protecting the dsRNA from complete degradation by nucleases. The screened ds CYP6CY13 fragment was successfully expressed in the L4440-HT1115 (DE3) RNaseIII - system and inhibiting CYP6CY13 expression by RNA interference (RNAi) significantly increased the susceptibility of A. gossypii adults to imidacloprid. The toxicity of the RHMS/IMI/ds CYP6CY13 complex was significantly higher (1.95-fold) than that of imidacloprid. The results of the pot test showed that the effectiveness of the RHMS/IMI/ds CYP6CY13 complex against A. gossypii improved by 19.95 % in 5 days. Therefore, this nanoparticle-mediated gene/insecticide co-delivery system is expected to be an effective tool for pest control.
