Textiles contain a high content of carbon and hydrogen in their structure which provides the
fuel for combustion and therefore are hazardous in case of a fire accident. A suitable flame …

Due to thermal and flame/fire sensitivity of biopolymers especially in plant-based biopolymer
fillers, it is extremely and necessary to improve the reaction to flame. The bio-polymers …

In this paper, we present a novel, ecologically friendly technology for the synthesis and
modification of kombucha-derived bacterial cellulose in order to produce textiles of desired …

Cellulose has been studied over recent decades by researchers due to the excellent
properties of this material. Cellulose is one of the biomaterials that have the potential to be …

Lignin is a highly abundant bio-polymeric material that constitutes cellulose one of major
component in cell wall of woody plants. Alternatively, large quantity of lignin is yearly …

Our previous work has demonstrated that chitosan (CS) can be directly used as charring
agents. In this paper, efforts were made to further improve the thermal stability and charring …

Synthesis of organophosphorus compounds containing nitrogen as heteroatom and its
application as a flame retardant (FR) have attracted much attention in the academic and …

Based on the current economic and environmental analysis of the textile waste streams,
textile waste alone can be a promising source of renewable energy. To realize that, catalyst …

Biomaterials available for a wide range of applications are generally polysaccharides. They
may have inherent antimicrobial activity in the case of chitosan. However, in order to have …

A diversity of chemicals is used to produce fire retardants (FRs); some of the main group of
chemicals are hazardous to the environment as well as to human life; however, expandable …
