摘要

To address the high flammability of eco-friendly lyocell fabric, this study developed a novel halogen-free flame retardant TGPA which was synthesized via two-step esterification of triethylene glycol, phosphoric acid, and urea. Its active NH₄⁺ groups form stable C-O-P covalent bonds with cellulose hydroxy groups. Structural characterization confirmed the successful incorporation of nitrogen and phosphorus into the fiber surface. The modified fabric exhibited self-extinguishing behavior with a markedly enhanced limiting oxygen index (LOI), while achieving a 61.8% reduction in heat release rate (HRR) and a 34.6% decrease in total heat release (THR), as well as forming a highly stable char layer. The system enables persistent flame retardancy through synergistic gas-phase radical quenching and condensed-phase charring mechanisms, maintaining performance stability after 25 laundering cycles. Mechanical properties slightly decrease but still meet practical requirements, providing an efficient, durable, and eco-friendly solution for high-safety textiles.
