This paper aims at updating the progress on the phosphorus-based flame retardants
specifically designed and developed for fibers and fabrics (particularly referring to cotton …

Textiles contain a high content of carbon and hydrogen in their structure which provides the
fuel for combustion and therefore are hazardous in case of a fire accident. A suitable flame …

Compounds of phosphorus were recognized as flame retardants at the beginning of the
nineteenth century when the French chemist Gay-Lussac recommended ammonium …

The ubiquity of polymeric materials in daily life comes with an increased fire risk, and
sustained research into efficient flame retardants is key to ensuring the safety of the …

The burning of textiles has always been considered a major hazard: indeed, most fibers and
fabrics, which play an important role in everyday life (eg for transportation, automotive …

Different kinds of additive and reactive flame retardants containing phosphorus are
increasingly successful as halogen-free alternatives for various polymeric materials and …

Almost 50 years ago, the 1950–1960 period witnessed the development of the chemistry
underlying most of today's successful and durable flame retardant treatments for fibres and …

Phosphorus-based flame retardants were incorporated into different, easily preparable
matrices, such as polymeric thermoset resins and paraffin as a proposed model for …

This article reviews the recent developments in the synthetic strategies to chemically modify
several chain‐growth polymers that were primarily developed in our laboratories, with a …

Synthetic textiles make a great contribution as the apparel, industrial and technical textile
goods, though most of them are inherently flammable. Thus, the fire retardant treatment of …
