Sodium lignin sulfonate: a bio-macromolecule for making fire retardant cotton fabric
TL;DR: Sodium lignin sulfonate (SLS) has been explored as a fire retardant finishing agent on cotton fabric in this paper, and it has been shown that SLS treatment imparts a natural attractive yellow color, UV protective property to the treated fabric without altering physical strength of the fabric which can be considered as an added advantage over flame retardant effect.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hira Durrani,Veerender Sharma,Diksha Bamboria,Akshay Shukla,Santanu Basak,Santanu Basak,Wazed Ali +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, synthesized zinc borate-cotton was demonstrated as a thermal resistant agent by applying it by in-situ method on the cotton fabric wherein zincborate was synthesized from zinc nitrate and borax.
Book ChapterDOI
Nanoparticles: a potential alternative to classical fire retardants for textile substrates
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the various options of fire retardants in nanoparticulate form to make textiles fire retardant and reveal promising research outcomes in this area and future challenges to commercialize this novel approach.
