Abstract:Graphene oxide/fluorine-silicon acrylate (GO/FSiAc) composite emulsion finishing agent was prepared by using graphene oxide (GO) as functional filler and fluorine-silicon acrylate (FSiAc) emulsion as functional adhesive aids. And then, it was applied in the water-repellency and anti-UV multifunctionally finishing of flax fabric by roll-dry-bake process. The structure and particle size distribution of GO/FSiAc composite emulsion were characterized by FTIR, TEM and DLS; the surface elements and morphology of the finished flax fabrics were characterized by XPS and SEM; the effects of the mass ratios of soft monomer (BA) and hard monomer (MMA) and mass concentration of GO on the application properties and wearability of the finished flax fabrics were investigated, such as the heat resistance, water repellency, UV protection and physical and mechanical properties. The results showed that GO disperses well in FSiAc emulsion and uniformly covers the surface of flax fabric. When the m(BA)∶m(MMA) = 7∶3, the mass concentration of GO reaches 4 g/L, it shows excellent water repellency and UV protection performance with a water contact angle of 148.48°, a ultraviolet protection factor (UPF) of 179.77, and a transmission rate of 0.63% in the ultraviolet UVA band. Compared with the original flax fabric, the heat resistance, breaking strength and elongation?at?break of the finished flax fabric were improved by 60.67℃, 153 N, and 11.1%, respectively. Meanwhile, the better air permeability of the finished flax fabric were remained. The finished flax fabric has good durability with a water contact angle of 142.00°, UPF of 162.22, and the UVA band transmittance of 0.94% after underwent soap washing tests for 20 times.
