Protective clothing with fascinating flame-retardant features is urgently needed to reduce the large amount of smoke and heat released from combustion during fire protection. In this study, polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) nanocomposite resin with efficient flame retardancy is obtained by mixing a low content of graphene and Fe2O3 via a twin screw extruder. Followed by, the PPS/G/Fe2O3 fibers are fabricated via melting spinning. The PPS/G/Fe2O3 nanocomposite resin with 0.3 wt% of graphene and 1.0 wt% of Fe2O3 performs the best during the flame retardant tests, giving a shorter self-extinguishing time, lower peak heat release rate (22.3 kW/m2), total heat release (11.3 MJ/m2) and total smoke production (1.32 m2) than others. The pyrolysis analysis indicates that a large number of products with fused rings are formed in the residual char layer, which effectively inhibit the release of heat and smoke and thus improve the flame retardancy of PPS nanocomposite resin. In addition, the flame retardant textile weaved with PPS/G/Fe2O3 fibers gives a high-limiting oxygen index (40.1%), zero after-flame time, no droppings and small damaged length (114 mm in warp and 98 mm in weft direction) during the standard flame retardancy tests provided by a third-party independent inspection organization. The fabrication of PPS fibers with effective and enhanced synergistic flame retardancy through melting spinning is facile and scalable, providing a promising strategy for advanced protective clothing.
