Flame retardants mitigate the threat of fire from inherently flammable materials responsible
for sustaining a high standard of living. Although bulk flame retardants have proven effective …

Many polymers, especially polyurethane foam and fiber fabric, are particularly easy to burn
and generate a large number of droplets leading to the rapid spread of the fire. Therefore …

As flammable polymeric materials become more ubiquitous in consumer goods, home
furnishings, and transportation, there is a growing need for safe and effective flame retardant …

Improving the flame retardancy, thermal stability and antibacterial properties of cotton fabric
are necessary for using it safely. To achieve this goal, melamine phosphate (MP) was added …

Nanocoatings consisting of ammonium polyphosphate (APP), sodium montmorillonite
(MMT), and vinyltrimethoxysilane (VTMS) were prepared via self-assembly and in situ sol …

A novel phosphorus-containing siloxane compound, 2, 2-dimethyl-1, 3-propanediol-(3′-
triethoxysilanepropyl) phosphoramidate (DPTP), was synthesized and applied to prepare …

Starch has been employed via layer by layer assembly for building an efficient and
sustainable biobased coatings capable of protecting cotton from fire. In order to obtain a …

Catastrophes due to fires cause a lot of material damages and the loss of many human lives.
They have been rising in number and severity over the years because of the extensive use …

The hydrophilicity and intrinsic inflammability of pristine cotton fabrics severely restrict their
applications. To overcome these disadvantages, a superhydrophobic and flame-retardant …

The layer-by-layer (LbL) technique is adopted for the construction of multilayers
encompassing chitosan and graphene oxide (GO) platelets capable of improving the flame …
