Abstract

Traditional treatment of cotton fabrics by multifunctional nanoparticles usually exhibits easy aggregation and poor durability. Here, we utilize dopamine as a bio-based binder for cotton and one of organic ligands to construct highly uniform dispersion of monodispersed zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) on the surface of cotton fibers (PZIF-8@Cotton) via in-situ coprecipitation technology at a mild synthesizing process. The resulting PZIF-8@Cotton displays evidently fire safety, especially, 77.9% smoke production is suppressed at 4 wt% of PZIF-8 coating loading. More importantly, owing to the advanced pore feature of PZIF-8 and interfacial force between PZIF-8 and cotton, PZIF-8@Cotton presents excellent durability. After 50 times of washing, the Zn content of PZIF-8@Cotton is rarely reduced (from 1.28 to 1.21%), and the antibacterial properties of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli still reach to 99.99% and 98.24%, respectively. Moreover, the multifunctional treatment does not deteriorate the mechanical performance of cotton. While the UV resistance is largely enhanced, and the comfort of the PZIF-8@Cotton is well maintained due to the little change in the hydrophilicity and air permeability. This extremely simple method provides an ideal strategy to obtain multifunctional and durable cotton fabrics.
