“…Consequently, massive efforts have been made to develop halogen-free flame retardant (Chen & Wang, 2010). Flame retardants, containing phosphorus, nitrogen, boron, silicon and other nanoparticles, have been explored to improve the fire resistance of fabrics (Abd El-Hady, Farouk, & Sharaf, 2013;Dogan, Yılmaz, & Bayramlı, 2010;El-Shafei, ElShemy, & Abou-Okeil, 2015;Farag et al, 2013;Haile, Fincher, Fomete, & Grunlan, 2015;Martín, Ronda, & Cádiz, 2006).…”

“…Besides, they are also working to develop halogen free phosphorous and nitrogen bonded fl ame retardant to create more char forming cellulosic substrate 6 . Recently, a research group used nano zinc oxide and polycarboxylic acid to make environmentally friendly fi re retardant cotton fabric 7 . However, developments of easily applicable, effective and environmental friendly and cheaper fi re retardants for cellulosic textiles are still a challenge for the researchers.…”

Flame retardancy was imparted in cellulosic cotton textile using banana pseudostem sap (BPS), an eco-friendly natural product. The extracted sap was made alkaline and applied in pre-mordanted bleached and mercerized cotton fabrics. Flame retardant properties of both the control and the treated fabrics were analysed in terms of limiting oxygen index (LOI), horizontal and vertical fl ammability. Fabrics treated with the non-diluted BPS were found to have good fl ame retardant property with LOI of 30 compared to the control fabric with LOI of 18, i.e., an increase of 1.6 times. In the vertical fl ammability test, the BPS treated fabric showed fl ame for a few seconds and then, got extinguished. In the horizontal fl ammability test, the treated fabric showed no fl ame, but was burning only with an afterglow with a propagation rate of 7.5 mm/min, which was almost 10 times lower than that noted with the control fabric. The thermal degradation and the pyrolysis of the fabric samples were studied using a thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and the chemical composition by FTIR, SEM and EDX, besides the pure BPS being characterized by EDX and mass spectroscopy. The fabric after the treatment was found to produce stable natural khaki colour, and there was no signifi cant degradation in mechanical strengths. Based on the results, the mechanism of imparting fl ame retardancy to cellulosic textile and the formation of natural colour on it using the proposed BPS treatment have been postulated.

“…Much of the research work has been done to produce fabrics possessing desired properties such as; resistance to microorganisms, resistance to ultraviolet light, flame resistance, improving their handle and comfort properties etc. [2][3][4]. Cotton fabrics are considered the top type in global consuming fabrics because of their required properties like; comfort, softness, biodegradation, warmness etc.…”

“…Another important feature of blend fabrics is their being less ignitable with slow flame spread. But once ignition is started, synthetic fabrics melt with high rate of burning which double the risk that may lead to serious burning problems [2]. Therefore, the risk of combustion of blended fabrics is considered to be larger than that of natural or evensynthetic fabrics.…”

Thermal Stability Enhancement of Cotton and Cotton Polyester Blend Fabrics by Hyperbranched Poly Urethane-Urea Treatment

DESPITE the importance of cotton fabrics and its blends in our lives, the lack of their thermal stability is one of the most important points to be studied. The ability of hyperbranched poly urethane-urea (HBPU) to improve the thermal stability of cotton and cotton (CO) polyester (CO/PET) fabrics was investigated. Different concentrations of HBPU were used for treatment of both CO and CO/PET fabrics. No significant effect on tensile strength properties was observed with CO fabrics, while tensile strength of treated CO/PET fabrics was affected by treatment with different concentrations of HBPU. TGA analysis shows enhanced char residue values with both treated CO and CO/PET fabrics. Polymer deposition on the surface of treated fabrics and structure changes were followed by SEM and FT-IR spectroscopy, respectively.
