Summary: A novel phosphorus- and nitrogen-containing flame retardant, APNTHE, was synthesized and used for the preparation of flame retardant cotton. The results showed that the modified cotton had a high char residue and durable flame retardancy, with a significant reduction in heat release rate and total heat release. APNTHE played a flame retardant role in both the gas phase and the condensed phase.

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: The authors presented a new strategy for preparing superhydrophobic and flame-retardant cotton fabric by coating multiple layers on the fabric surface. The resulting fabric exhibited high water contact angle, anti-adhesion properties, self-cleaning capabilities, and efficient oil-water separation, as well as excellent flame retardancy.

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.

Summary: A novel composite coating containing P/N/B and bio-based compounds was developed and applied to flame-retardant finishing of polyester/cotton blend fabrics. The coating successfully processed onto the fabric surface, providing good flame retardancy and excellent char-forming ability. The coating transformed the thermal degradation process of the fabric and suppressed heat and smoke release during combustion.

Summary: This study synthesized two water-soluble flame retardants and achieved flame-retardant finishing for nylon-cotton textile blends. The treated samples showed reduced heat release capacity, increased char yield, and improved limiting oxygen index. They also passed the standardized flammability test and maintained self-extinguishing characteristics after multiple washing cycles.
