Effect of Blending Ratio on Properties of Core Yarn and Fabric of Polysulfonamide(PSA)/Flame Retardant Viscose(FRV)/Conductive Filament

In order to develop a fabric with excellent flame resistance function,antistatic function,moisture absorption and breathability,the polysulfonamide(PSA)fiber and the flame retardant viscose(FRV)fiber were blended.Meanwhile,the conductive filaments were used as the core yarn,and then they were made into the core-spun yarn and the fabric at different blending ratios of PSA/FRV.The effects of the blending ratio of PSA/FRV on the mechanical properties and the evenness of the yarn were studied.The effects of the blending ratio of PSA/FRV on mechanical properties,flame retardant properties,antistatic properties,moisture permeability and drape of the fabric were analyzed.With the increase of the blending ratios of PSA/FRV,the strength and the elongation of the core-spun yarn increased firstly and then decreased.Moreover,the evenness of the core-spun yarn was improved,the fabric strength increased firstly and then decreased,the flame resistance decreased,and the antistatic performance improved.These results provide an important basis for the preparation and wide application of fabrics made of PSA/FRV/conductive filament.

A Facile Modifier-free Approach to Fabricate Antistatic Superhydrophobic Composite Coatings with Remarkable Thermal Stability and Corrosion Resistance

Research on antistatic superhydrophobic surfaces has attracted widespread attention in some fields.However,in the application of superhydrophobic materials,fabricating stable and practical superhydrophobic surfaces through facile and low-cost approaches still faces considerable challenges.Herein,a polyphenylene sulfide(PPS)-based antistatic superhydrophobic composite coating with a high water contact angle(166°)and a low sliding angle(2°)was fabricated on a Q345 steel surface through a simple spray-coating method without any modifier.Furthermore,the as-prepared superhydrophobic coating also displayed excellent superhydrophobicity for water droplets at different pH values,as well as self-cleaning,anti-fouling and anti-icing properties.Importantly,the superhydrophobic coating still exhibited superhydrophobicity after calcination at 350°C for 1 h,indicating its outstanding thermal stability.Excellent antistatic and anticorrosion properties were obtained on the prepared coating surface,which allows the coating to be applied under harsh conditions.Benefiting from the above characteristics,compared with the commercial coating,the as-obtained antistatic superhydrophobic coating may be applied more widely in related fields.

A Novel Ternary Composite of Polyurethane/Polyaniline/Nanosilica with Antistatic Property and Excellent Mechanical Strength:Preparation and Mechanism

Antistatic and strength properties are of vital importance for polyurethane rubber used in moving parts of many industrial instruments.Herein,polyurethane was composited with polyaniline and nanosilica based on in situ synthesis of polymer and physical mixing of these fillers to reach desired antistatic and mechanical properties.Chemical,morphological and thermal properties of the polyurethane/polyaniline/nanosilica composites were studied.The electrical resistivity of the composite decreased from 1.1×10^(6)MΩto 7.6×10^(4)MΩas a result of the addition of 4%polyaniline.The tensile strength and elongation at break of the polyurethane composites improved by nearly 300%and100%,respectively,when compared with those of the neat polyurethane.The electronic resistance of PU/PANI/NS ternary is low enough for its antistatic property and decreases with the increase of the added nanosilica,which is unexpectedly and rather significant.Our results would shed light on the development of antistatic PU with excellent mechanical performance.
