“…In another study [121], both untreated and FR-treated cotton samples provided an endothermic peak related to the dehydration phenomenon in the range of 100-160 • C. Moreover, for untreated cotton samples, ∆H of 155 J/g was measured. This value decreased to 125.48 and 113.08 J/g for FR-treated cotton samples resulting in higher intensity with respect to untreated cotton, thus highlighting the action of the FR applied.…”

“…This value decreased to 125.48 and 113.08 J/g for FR-treated cotton samples resulting in higher intensity with respect to untreated cotton, thus highlighting the action of the FR applied. Moreover, the exothermic peak occurred for treated cotton at 250 • C, due to the high temperature of the cross-linking reaction, while at 380 • C the formation of levoglucosan was observed [121].…”

Over the past decade, inorganic fillers and sol–gel-based flame-retardant technologies for textile treatments have gained increasing research interest as useful alternatives to hazardous chemicals previously employed in textile coating and finishing. This review presents the current state of the art of inorganic flame-retardant technology for cotton fabrics to scientists and researchers. Combustion mechanism and flammability, as well as the thermal behavior of neat cotton samples, are first introduced. The main section is focused on assessing the effect of inorganic and sol–gel-based systems on the final flame-retardant properties of cotton fabrics, emphasizing their fire safety characteristics. When compared to organic flame-retardant solutions, inorganic functional fillers have been shown to be more environmentally friendly and pollution-free since they do not emit compounds that are hazardous to ecosystems and humans when burned. Finally, some perspectives and recent advanced research addressing the potential synergism derived from the use of inorganic flame retardants with other environmentally suitable molecules toward a sustainable flame-retardant technological approach are reviewed.

“…In textile applications, boron derivatives are incorporated into fabrics and fibers to enhance their flame resistance. Some commonly used boron-based flame retardants for textiles include boric acid, borax, boron nitride, and boron complexes [15][16][17][18]. However, the sole use of these kinds of flame retardants in the treatment of cotton fabrics usually exhibits insufficient retardant behavior, or they have to be used in high amounts for an effective flame-retardant activity.…”

Wildfires are becoming more intense and more frequent, ravaging the habitations and ecosystems in their path. One solution to reducing the risk of damage to buildings and other structures during a fire event is the use of fire-retardant coatings that can stop or slow down the spread of flames, especially for textile materials. The present study focuses on the preparation and application of halogen-free boron/bentonite-based polymeric fire-retardant (FR) hybrid coating formulations for fabrics such as cotton (CO) and polyester (PE) fibers. For the preparation of FR composites, two types of boron derivatives, disodium octaborate and zinc borate, were used in combination with sodium bentonite. A styrene-acrylic copolymer was specifically synthesized and used as a coating binder for FR components to apply on fabrics. The properties of the synthesized copolymer and FR composites were characterized with a particle size analysis, FTIR spectroscopy, a dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA), and rheological measurements. The obtained hybrid composites based on styrene-acrylic copolymers and two different inorganic fillers were applied on cotton (CO) and polyester (PE) fabrics with a screen-printing technique, and the flame retardancy performance of the finished textile samples was investigated by means of flame spread and limit oxygen index (LOI) tests. The findings showed that the FR-composite-coated fabrics had higher LOI values and much decreased flame spread rates in comparison with uncoated ones. Among the boron derivatives, the composites prepared with disodium octaborate (FR-A) had much more pronounced LOI values and decreased flame spread behavior in comparison with the composite with zinc borate (FR-B). When compared to a commercial product, the FR-A composite, in conjunction with the specially synthesized polymer, demonstrated commendable fire retardancy performance and emerged as a promising candidate for a halogen-free waterborne fire-retardant coating for fabrics.
