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 …

Cotton, a natural textile fiber, is widely used worldwide due to its softness, comfort,
breathability, and other properties. However, the limit oxygen index value (LOI) of cotton is …

Aqueous Zn–I batteries hold great potential for high‐safety and sustainable energy storage.
However, the iodide shuttling effect and the hydrogen evolution reaction that occur in the …

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

The ease of flammability of polymers represents a key issue that limits their applications in
different advanced sectors. In this context, a reliable and effective solution regards the use of …

In this work, the step-by-step dip-coating (SBS) method was used to effectively improve the
drawback of LBL by reducing the construction of a multilayer polyelectrolyte. Bio-based …

It is well known that bacterial infections and fire-hazards are potentially injurious in daily life.
With the increased security awareness of life and properties as well as the improvement of …

A new phosphorus/nitrogen flame retardant (FR) containing reactive–P–O− NH4+ groups
was synthesized from glycerol, phosphoric acid, and urea. At high temperatures, the–P–O …

A halogen-free, highly efficient, and durable flame retardant containing both phosphonate
and ammonium phosphonate groups, ammonium salt of diethylenetriamine pentamethylene …

This work aims to prepare a series of sols based on Titanium (IV) butoxide (TBT) and using
boric acid as a functional additive. The sols were applied onto the cotton fabric by the pad …
