Abstract:
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.
