Cotton-based flame-retardant textiles: A review

Biodegradable textiles made from cellulose, the most abundant biopolymer, have gained attention researchers, due to ease with which cellulose can be chemically modified introduce multifunctional groups, and because of its renewable biodegradable nature. One attractive features required for civilian military applications is flame-retardancy. This review focuses on various methods employed fabrication cellulose-based flame-retardant cotton along their developed properties over last few years. The common method merge N, S, P, Si-based polymeric, non-polymeric, polymeric/non-polymeric hybrids, inorganic, organic/inorganic hybrids fabricate textiles. In these studies, was bonded flame-retardants or in some cases, were coated by flame-retardants. investigated determined methods, including limiting oxygen index (LOI), vertical flame test, thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), cone calorimetry. demonstrates potential applications.
