This paper reviews the changing textile flammability research themes within the author's
research group over the last 35 years and which reflect those of the academic and research …

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 …

Non-durable and semi-durable flame retardants based mostly on phosphate or
phosphonate salts continue to be used on infrequently washed or disposable goods, and …

The aim of this study was the optimization of cone calorimeter to determine the burning
behavior of textile fabrics. In particular, the combustion behavior of commercial polyester …

Approximately 80%–90% of all fire-related fatalities take place in residential occupancies.
The risk groups are well known, but the effectiveness of different measures has been less …

In this study, a representative set of thermally thin materials including various lignocellulosic
and synthetic fabrics, dense wood, and polypropylene sheets were tested using a cone …

This chapter is a brief review of research and developments in the field of flame retardant
textiles. The review focuses mainly on the currently available flame retardant solutions for …

This book describes the progress in flame retardancy of both natural and synthetic
fibres/fabrics moving from the traditional approaches (back-coating techniques), current …

There are several different preventive measures that can be used to reduce the number of
fire fatalities in residential buildings, but information on how effective different measures are …

Cotton, a commonly used textile material, tends to burn easily. For some specific end-uses,
flame-retardant (FR) properties are required. However, this kind of finish tends to worsen the …
