Summary: A novel silicon, phosphorus and nitrogen synergistic flame retardant, EPSO-P, was synthesized and shown to improve the flame retardancy and thermal stability of cotton fabrics. The char residue of treated samples increased to 43% at 700 degrees C, while heat release rate and total heat release were significantly reduced after flame retardant treatment. EPSO-P was found to prevent the fabrics from burning in both gas phase and condensed phase, indicating it as a promising candidate for producing flame retardant cotton fabrics with favorable properties.

Summary: A novel flame retardant containing high amounts of P and N elements was designed and grafted onto cotton fabric via P-O-C covalent bonds, showing improved flame retardancy and durability. The treated cotton exhibited lower peak heat release rate, total heat release, and initial decomposition temperatures, as well as increased carbon residue during combustion, indicating the formation of an expanded char layer. Various spectroscopic techniques confirmed the flame retardant mechanism, and the mechanical properties of the treated cotton remained suitable for use after treatment.

Summary: In recent years, indoor fires caused by the flammable properties of cotton have become increasingly common, emphasizing the importance of flame-retardant cotton. Researchers have successfully developed a new flame retardant that forms stable chemical and coordination bonds on the surface of cotton fibers through a simple finishing process. This flame retardant exhibits excellent durable flame retardancy and does not significantly affect the physical properties of cotton fabric.

Summary: This study improves the thermal stability and flame retardancy of cotton fabrics using sol-gel processes. The sols are successfully converted into gel coatings on cotton fabrics, providing structural support and blocking heat and oxygen transfer. The combination of silica sol, coupling agent, and flame retardant in the coatings shows synergistic effects in flame retardancy.
