...Halil İbrahim Çelik; İbrahim Halil Tekin; Perihan Tekin; Ali Çağlayan; Serdar Saycan Purpose In this study, both flame retardancy and sustainability properties were combined in the chenille yarn so that functional and sustainable upholstery fabrics can be produced with optimum energy consumption...

... with the limiting oxygen index (LOI) value about 18% that restricts its applications. Cotton fiber is easy to crease during the repeat wearing and laundering process that will influence the wearability. Therefore, it is very important to improve the flame retardancy and anticrease performance of cotton fabric...

.... Design/methodology/approach In this paper nacre-mimetic flame retardant coating of chitosan (CH) and Montmorillonite (MMT) was fabricated on PET fabrics through the layer-by-layer assembly method. The flame retardancy and anti-dripping performance of the treated PET fabric were investigated. Findings...

...Xiansheng Zhang; Xianjing Du; Lili Wang; Meiwu Shi Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of char on the flame retardancy of fabrics by a cone calorimeter, which is an important factor to compare the flame retardancy of different fabrics. Design/methodology/approach...

...Warunee Wattanatanom; Sireerat Churuchinda; Pranut Potiyaraj Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the potential use of the layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly as an intumescent flame retardant for polyester, cotton and their blended fabrics. Design/methodology/approach In this study...

... time any wastage plant product for making fire retardant cellulosic textile. In this regard flame retardant functionality was imparted in cellulosic textile using BPS, an eco-friendly natural wastage product. Design/methodology/approach – The extracted sap was made alkaline and applied in pre...
