▎ 摘 要
NOVELTY - An air-impermeable fabric comprises a fabric substrate; and a barrier layer comprising graphene nanoplatelets that have been pre-treated by contact with a liquid organophosphorus flame retardant compound, and a polymer resin. USE - As air-impermeable fabric useful in inflatable structure such as aircraft evacuation slide (claimed) and life rafts, as well as other inflatable structures such as for cushions and other emergency and non-emergency applications. ADVANTAGE - The fabric exhibits excellent strength, weight, and flame resistance. DETAILED DESCRIPTION - INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are included for the following: (1) making the air-impermeable fabric involving contacting graphene nanoplatelets with the liquid organophosphorus flame retardant to form pre-treated graphene nanoplatelets; dispersing the pre-treated graphene nanoplatelets in a coating composition comprising a polymer resin; and coating the coating composition over a fabric substrate; and (2) an inflatable structure comprising the air-impermeable fabric.
