Fire retardancy of polymeric materials is a subject of major preoccupation due to the need to
minimize fire risk and meet fire safety requirements. Numerous efficient conventional flame …

Cellulose paper derived from plants is used for daily writing and recording and has
historically played an important role in promoting cultural dissemination and inheritance …

A novel, high-efficiency, bio-based flame retardant ammonium salt of arginine
hexamethylenephosphonic acid (AAHMPA) for cotton fabric was synthesized and grafted …

In this study flame-retarded cotton fabrics that have also strongly hydrophobic properties
were produced. A two-step modification process has been used. In the first step guanidine …

A flame-retardant and superhydrophobic coating was applied to cotton textiles by a
conventional pad-dry-cure method, which involved the deposition of branched poly …

Phosphorylated cellulose is a versatile material with a wide range of applications. However,
traditional cellulose phosphorylation processes require toxic organic solvents. Safe and …

This review examines the development of sustainable self-cleaning fabrics inspired by
natural designs such as lotus leaves and butterfly wings, focusing on the role of metal oxide …

In this research, a two-component sol–gel inorganic–organic hybrid coating was prepared
on a cotton fibre surface. An equimolar sol mixture of the precursors 1H, 1H, 2H, 2H …

Cotton fabrics have been treated with two different finishing compositions based on urea (U)
and ammonium dihydrogen phosphate (AP) in order to enhance their flame retardancy …

Zinc borate (ZnB) has been used as a flame retardant, a smoke suppressant, and an
antitracking agent in several applications. It may show synergistic effects with antimony …
