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 …

As clearly reported in the scientific literature, the history of cotton flame retardancy is very
old: this is easily attributable to the chemical and physical properties of this fibre that made it …

In this study, a fully bio-based coating was constructed by layer-by-layer deposition of
chitosan (CS) and ammonium phytate (AP), to obtain fire-safety and antibacterial cotton …

Bio-based hydrophobic coating modified cotton fabrics with durable flame retardancy are of
high interest in the application of oil-water separation for not only avoiding the use of …

Wallpaper with multiple functions, such as fire resistance and an automatic alarm in fire
disasters, will be attractive for the interior decoration of houses. Herein, we report a smart fire …

The study evaluated the combined phosphorus, nitrogen, methane, and extracellular
polymeric substances (EPS) recovery from aerobic granular sludge (AGS) wastewater …

In this research, extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), such as EPS flocs and EPS
granules, were successfully extracted from activated and aerobic granular sludge …

Flame retardants are used in a wide range of plastics to extend the time-of-escape from fires.
By definition, they are designed to perform this task only in case of a fire, which is then …

Sustainable, biogenic flame retardant adjuvants for epoxy resins are receiving increased
focus. Zoological products like insects, bone meal, and eggshells are available in large …

The field of flame retardancy for polymeric materials (ie plastics, foams and in particular
textiles) is currently facing several changes and challenges because some of the current …
