Multi-functional textiles have become a growing trend among smart customers who dream of having multiple functionalities in a single product. Thus, this study aimed to develop a multi-functional textile from a common textile substrate like cotton equipped with electrically conductive, anti-bacterial, and flame-retardant properties. Herein, a bunch of compounds from various sources like petro-based poly-aniline (PANI), phosphoric acid (HPO), inorganic silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs), and biomass-sourced fish scale protein (FSP) were used. The coating was prepared via in-situ polymerization of PANI with the cotton substrate, followed by the dipping in AGNPs solution, layer-by-layer deposition of FSP and sodium alginate, and finally, a dip-dry-cure technique after immersing the modified cotton substrate into the HPO and citric acid solution. The key results indicated that the fabric treated with PANI/Ag-NPs/FSP/P-compound exhibited a balanced improvement in all three desired properties as the electrical resistance was reduced by 44.44 % while showing superior bacterial inhibition against gram-positive bacteria () and gram-negative bacteria (), and produced dense-black carbonaceous char residues, indicating its flame retardant properties as well. Thus, such amicable developments made the cotton textile substrate a multi-functional textile, which showed potential to be used in medical textiles, wearable electronics, fire-fighter suits, etc.
多功能纺织品在渴望单一产品具备多种功能的精明消费者中已成为一种日益增长的趋势。因此，本研究旨在从诸如棉花之类的普通纺织基材开发一种具有导电、抗菌和阻燃性能的多功能纺织品。在此，使用了一系列来自各种来源的化合物，如石油基聚苯胺（PANI）、磷酸（HPO）、无机银纳米颗粒（Ag-NPs）和生物质来源的鱼鳞蛋白（FSP）。通过将PANI与棉基材进行原位聚合制备涂层，随后浸入AGNPs溶液中，逐层沉积FSP和海藻酸钠，最后将改性棉基材浸入HPO和柠檬酸溶液后采用浸轧-干燥-固化技术。关键结果表明，用PANI/Ag-NPs/FSP/P-化合物处理的织物在所有三种所需性能方面均呈现出平衡的改善，电阻降低了44.44%，同时对革兰氏阳性菌（）和革兰氏阴性菌（）表现出优异的抑菌性能，并产生致密的黑色碳质炭残渣，也表明了其阻燃性能。因此，这些良好的进展使棉纺织基材成为一种多功能纺织品，显示出在医用纺织品、可穿戴电子产品、消防员服装等方面的应用潜力。
