Summary: This study aimed to improve the flame retardancy and anti-dripping ability of polyamide 6 (PA6) fabrics through a simple textile finishing technique. Three sulfur/nitrogen-containing compounds with different sulfur valence were used for the modification of PA6 fabric. The results showed that compounds with positive sulfur valence had higher flame retardant efficiency. The modified fabrics exhibited self-extinguishing ability, no dripping, and high LOI (limiting oxygen index), indicating good flame retardancy.

Summary: A hydrophilic/hydrophobic Janus fabric (HHJF) with good directional water delivery and sweat-volume monitoring capabilities is prepared using large-scale fabrication technology. The HHJF achieves enhanced unidirectional water transport and high sweat-sensing response under perspiration conditions. It can detect sweat volume in real-time, up to 2000 mL m(-2), with excellent durability for over 1000 cycle tests. Therefore, the exceptional perspiration management and monitoring capabilities of HHJF are expected to promote the development of practical smart textiles for real-time monitoring of perspiration dynamics.

Summary: In this study, a novel method called direct electrostatic deposition was used to prepare a proton exchange membrane (PEM). This method allows precise control over the thickness and size of the PEM. By directly spraying a Nafion solution containing amino modified SiO2 nanoparticles onto a metal collector, a hybrid membrane with a thickness of 30 μm was fabricated. The direct electrostatic deposition method showed potential benefits for the preparation of ultrathin PEMs, as evidenced by the higher power density achieved by the DMFC assembled with the prepared ultrathin membrane.
