Environmentally Sustainable Flame Retardant Surface Treatments for Textiles: The Potential of a Novel Atmospheric Plasma/UV Laser Technology

Abstract: Conventional flame retardant (FR) application processes for textiles involve aqueous processing which is resource intensive in terms of energy and water usage. Recent research using sol-gel and layer-by-layer chemistries, while claimed to be based on more environmentally-sustainable chemistry, still require aqueous media with the continuing problem of water management and drying processes being required. This paper outlines the initial forensic work to characterise commercially produced viscose/flax, cellulosi… Show more

“…In the component values obtained, no significant changes were observed depending on the plasma treatment and the untreated sample. It can be highlighted that the HMDSO coating deposited by plasma polymerisation on the leather sample does not affect neither the colour nor the surface appearance of the original pigment of the leather, as can be seen in Figure 7 , according to the requirement that there must be a difference between the values ≤ 2.5 established by INESCOP’s upper materials laboratory based on its experience [ 53 ].…”

“…It is interesting to note, that in spite of the many papers published recently in which applications of nanotechnology with the aim of improving non-halogen-containing, flame retardant efficiency [ 53 ] coupled with the interest in novel surface treatments mainly on cotton, such as sol–gel [ 39 , 54 , 55 , 56 , 57 ], layer-by-layer [ 39 , 54 , 57 , 58 , 59 , 60 , 61 , 62 , 63 , 64 , 65 ] and atmospheric plasma [ 66 , 67 , 68 ], limited levels of flame retardancy and durability have often only been achieved. None of these treatments to the author’s knowledge has been either applied to or found to be acceptable in back-coating applications.…”
