Abstract
In this work, a bio-based, lightweight, coated cotton fabric by using a cleaner manufacturing method, “photocuring” was proposed in order to be used as an alternative to the conventional heat-, solvent-, and water-based outdoor textile (tarpaulin, tent, etc.) manufacturing. For this purpose, photocurable bio-based phosphorylated oligomer was synthesized with the reaction between a monomethacrylate functional phosphorus containing monomer and epoxidized soybean oil (ESBO). The synthesized phosphorylated ESBO (P-ESBO) oligomer was used in cotton fabric coatings in different proportions and photocured with UV light exposure. The effects of the amount of P-ESBO oligomer in the formulation on the crystalline morphology, mechanical, thermal, surface wettability, flammability, and abrasion resistance properties of the cotton fabrics were all searched. It was revealed that the increasing amount of P-ESBO oligomer in the formulation increases the drapeability and tensile strength of the fabrics with enhanced flame resist property by giving higher char yields. Besides, phosphorylated oligomer also acted as an adhesion promoter between the fabric surface and coating layer resulting a better abrasion resistance property.
