“…Most commercial flame-retardant additives achieve fire protection for a polymer through one or more of the following processes in the condensed- or gas-phase, as shown in Figure 9 [ 95 ]. In the condensed phase, there are numerous possible chemical reactions that can occur at high temperatures.…”

Currently, polymers are competing with metals and ceramics to realize various material characteristics, including mechanical and electrical properties. However, most polymers consist of organic matter, making them vulnerable to flames and high-temperature conditions. In addition, the combustion of polymers consisting of different types of organic matter results in various gaseous hazards. Therefore, to minimize the fire damage, there has been a significant demand for developing polymers that are fire resistant or flame retardant. From this viewpoint, it is crucial to design and synthesize thermally stable polymers that are less likely to decompose into combustible gaseous species under high-temperature conditions. Flame retardants can also be introduced to further reinforce the fire performance of polymers. In this review, the combustion process of organic matter, types of flame retardants, and common flammability testing methods are reviewed. Furthermore, the latest research trends in the use of versatile nanofillers to enhance the fire performance of polymeric materials are discussed with an emphasis on their underlying action, advantages, and disadvantages.

“…The curtains comprise flame retardant polyester or wool fabrics. In this sense, different nanocomposites have been studied in the last decade in order to significantly reduce the release of heat while increasing carbon formation; this has been achieved with materials based on silicon, boron, phosphorus or oxides synergistically [86]. These charges incorporated in the polymer matrix produce improvements in thermal stability, the particle size has a great effect because the interaction of the charge is high, when you have large surface areas and this in turn will depend on the size.…”

Based on the results of research papers reflected in the scientific literature, the main examples, methods and perspectives for the development of technical textiles are considered. The focus of this work is to concentrate the results obtained for different textile applications (technical textiles) through the use of biodegradable polymers modified and improved with nanoparticles. The techniques for obtaining polymeric nanocomposites, finishing processes, type and structure of textiles are specified. In general, key aspects are identified for a better understanding of the technical challenges and physicochemical effects of the fibers.

“…In addition, in accordance with the increasing requirements, most polymers, including polyolefins, must have relatively high flammability resistance, that is usually achieved by adding flame-retardants to their composition directly during the melt blending process [1]. In this regard, has significantly increased interest in the use of environmentally friendly flame-retardant systems, to the number of which are polymer nanocomposites on the basis layered silicates [2][3][4].…”
