Eco-friendly flame retardant and electromagnetic interference shielding cotton fabrics with multi-layered coatings

Considering that the electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding textiles are deeply affected by the accidental fires, we have designed an eco-friendly flame retardant and EMI shielding cotton fabric. Herein, the cotton fabric, a biomass material, serve as the skeleton and the polyethylenimine/phytic acid (PEI/PA) layer as well as silver nanowires (AgNWs) conductive networks are formed on the surface of cotton fibers through layer-by-layer...
