A comparative analysis of nanoparticle adsorption as fire-protection approach for fabrics / J. Alongi, J. Tata, F. Carosio, G. Rosace, A. Frache, G. Camino. - In: POLYMERS. - ISSN 2073-4360. - 7:1(2015 Jan), pp. 47-68. [10.3390/polym7010047]
Abstract:
The present paper critically analyzes the potential for commercially available nanoparticles for enhancing the flame-retardant properties of synthetic and natural fabrics and their corresponding blends. Each nanoparticle has been applied to the fabric through a finishing-like process (namely impregnation/exhausting or, more simply, nanoparticle adsorption) in aqueous media and the resulting properties of these fabrics have been assessed in terms of combustion behavior by use of a cone calorimeter under a heat flux of 35 kW/m2. The influence of these nanoparticles on the main combustion parameters of polyester, cotton, and some of their blends has been thoroughly discussed. As a result of this discussion, a flame-retardant efficiency ranking of the nanoparticles under review has been established.
