AB - Ethylene phytic acid and unsaturated itaconic acid could be copolymerized in-situ and cross-linked on the cotton fabrics to enhance flame-retardant and crease-proofing properties. Natural phytic acid was modified with glycidyl meth-acrylate and characterized by IR, 1H NMR, and TG. The IR indicated that new characteristic absorption peaks appear near 1720 c/m, 1470 c/m, 1380 c/m, and 1002 c/m for the molar ratios phytic acid: glycidyl methacrylate of 1:3 or 1:6, the peaks correspond to the bending vibration of C=O, C–H, CH3, and C=O–O respectively in the glycidyl methacrylate. The 1H NMR results further confirmed the reaction between glycidyl methacrylate and phytic acid, and the TG results revealed the thermal properties of phytic acid.
