Abstract: [Display omitted] • An form finishing strategy for the construction of robust superhydrophobic fabric. • The as-prepared superhydrophobic fabric demonstrates good air permeation and self-cleaning ability. • The treated fabric exhibits excellent flame retardancy performance compared with pure cotton fabric. • The environment-friendly modified system contains fluorine-free materials and water-rich solution. Fiber fabrics, especially those with multi-functions, play an important role in the realm of construction industry, ecology, aerospace, etc. In this work, a novel one-step foam-coating method was proposed for multi-functionalization of fabric, co-instilling outstanding superhydrophobicity and flame retardation for better practicality. Furthermore, our proposed coating formulation is green with fluorine- and halogen-free attribute, with only ammonium polyphosphate (APP), Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and phytic acid-dissolved Cu (PA-Cu) co-incorporated in the system. The finished fabric is light and highly breathable, ascribed to its extremely thin coating layer. Also, our proposed method permits material coating with low liquid content, thereby enabling water saving up to 60%. Upon evaluating, fabric, upon treated with our proposed method, promises superhydrophobicity with an high contact angle of 154.8 ± 1.9°. This is endowed by the microstructure and roughened surface of fabric that repels water like lotus leaf. Consequently, an astonishing self-cleaning capability was also realized, allowing facile 'picking up' of surface dirt as water rinses over the fabric. As for flame retardation, the treated fabric recorded a high limiting oxygen index (LOI) of 37.5%, comparing to 17.5% of its pristine counterpart. This can be related to the collective functions enabled by the components (APP, PDMS and PA-Cu) in our foam formulation. Principally, our reported effective and low-consumption foam-coating strategy enriches the splendid properties of novel on-demand fabrics for broad applications, concurrently opening up an insightful horizon for other artificial material design as well.
