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 …

Polymers and textiles can be found in every facet of human everyday life particularly as
household items and apparels though most of them are inherently flammable. Surface …

Flame-retardant (FR) cotton fabrics were successfully prepared with the reactive product of
(3-piperazinylpropyl) methyldimethoxysilane and phytic acid, denoted as GPA, through a …

Metal-organic flame retardants (MOFRs) have been constantly applied to enhance fire safety
of polymers. Metallic compounds positively improve the MOFRs' performance in suppressing …

The effect of the blending amount of alginate fibres to cotton fibres on thermal stabilities,
surface micromorphologies, flame-retardant and combustion properties of prepared …

Currently, polymers are competing with metals and ceramics to realize various material
characteristics, including mechanical and electrical properties. However, most polymers …

As the most widely used natural fabric, cotton fabric is highly flammable with serious fire
hazard concerns. The use of biomass materials to impart flame resistance to fabrics is …

Bio-based materials have been noticed for the continuous environmental pollution and
resource shortage. In this paper, lignosulfonate (LS) and chitosan (CS) were selected to be …

In this work, starch–clay–TiO 2-based nanocomposites were deposited on cotton fabric
through layer-by-layer (LBL) process and their effect on the flame retardancy, inhibition of …

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 …
