Most organic polymeric materials have high flammability, for which the large amounts of
smoke, toxic gases, heat, and melt drips produced during their burning cause immeasurable …

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 …

A self-healing coating containing polyethyleneimine (PEI)/ammonium polyphosphate (APP)
polyelectrolyte complex was successfully prepared, and then was deposited on flexible …

The facile fabrication of eco-friendly flame-retardant coatings with high efficiency,
hydrophilicity, and good softness for cotton fabrics is imperative, but still challenging. Here …

Nylon–cotton (NC) blend fabrics are widely used in military and industrial applications, but
their high flammability still remains a serious problem. In an effort to effectively and quickly …

In this work, an organic-inorganic hybrid coating was used to improve the fire safety and
antibacterial property of polyester/cotton blend fabrics. The hybrid coating was constructed …

Relatively simple flame retardant finishing technologies for cotton are greatly desired in a
variety of fire-sensitive applications (eg, transportation, workwear, etc.). Many current …

An intumescent nanocoating composed of chitosan (CH) and ammonium polyphosphate
(APP), with and without low-molecular weight nitrogen and nitrogen/sulphur based …

The incorporation of biological resources for developing flame retardant is a promising
approach to fabricate durable flame retardant fabrics. Herein, a novel bio-based flame …

Blending has been applied to combine the advantages of individual fibers, but the flame
retardancy of a blended fiber depends on the interaction of the components. In this work …
