“…The simultaneous improvement of flame retardancy and physiological comfort of polyester clothing fabrics was also investigated [116]. Polyester fabrics were LbL-coated with branched polyethylenimine and sodium montmorillonite; the effect of the number of bilayers on thermo-oxidative properties and flame retardancy behavior as well as physiological comfort (in terms of wicking, moisture management, and air permeability) was thoroughly assessed.…”

Fabric flammability is a surface-confined phenomenon: in fact, the fabric surface represents the most critical region, through which the mass and heat transfers, responsible for fueling the flame, are controlled and exchanged with the surroundings. More specifically, the heat the fabric surface is exposed to is transferred to the bulk, from which volatile products of thermal degradation diffuse toward the surface and the gas phase, hence feeding the flame. As a consequence, the chemical and physical characteristics of the fabric surface considerably affect the ignition and combustion processes, as the surface influences the flux of combustible volatile products toward the gas phase. In this context, it is possible to significantly modify (and improve) the fire performance of textile materials by "simply" tailoring their surface: currently, one of the most effective approaches exploits the deposition of tailored coatings able to slow down the heat and mass transfer phenomena occurring during the fire stages. This paper reviews the current state of the art related to the design of inorganic, hybrid, or organic flame-retardant coatings suitable for the fire protection of different fabric substrates (particularly referring to cotton, polyester, and their blends). More specifically, the use of sol-gel and layer-by-layer (LbL) methods is thoroughly discussed; then, some recent examples of flame retardant coatings are presented, showing their potential advances and their current limitations.

“…Other research groups have also pursued research on nanoparticle-based LbL coatings. Dasari et al investigated the effects of a branched polyethylenimine (BPEI)/CNa coating on the flame retardancy and physiological comfort of PET fabrics [ 45 ]. The presence of the coating was found to impart an overall improvement to the comfort of the fabric due to an increased hydrophilicity; on the other hand, air permeability and water transport capacity were reduced due to the well-known barrier properties of BPEI/CNa LbL coatings.…”

Over the last ten years a new trend of research activities regarding the flame retardancy of polymeric materials has arisen. Indeed, the continuous search for new flame retardant systems able to replace the traditional approaches has encouraged alternative solutions, mainly centred on nanotechnology. In this context, the deposition of nanostructured coatings on fabrics appears to be the most appealing and performance suitable approach. To this aim, different strategies can be exploited: from the deposition of a single monolayer consisting of inorganic nanoparticles (single-step adsorption) to the building-up of more complex architectures derived from layer by layer assembly (multi-step adsorption). The present paper aims to review the application of such systems in the field of polyester and polyester-cotton blend fabrics. The results collated by the authors are discussed and compared with those published in the literature on the basis of the different deposition methods adopted. A critical analysis of the advantages and disadvantages exhibited by these approaches is also presented.

“…This provided fire retardancy for cotton fabrics. Layer-by-layer assembly, based on alternate deposition of a positively charged layer and negatively charged layer (named a bilayer, BL) [32], endowed fire retardancy to cotton fabrics with the coating [33]. And choosing suitable positively and negatively electrolyte solutions for deposition on the cotton fabric surface, the obtained coating made self-extinguishing behaviors for cotton fabrics.…”
