Abstract
The mains objective of this work was the surface modification of cotton fabric (CO) by chemical grafting of chitosan (CT), and immobilization of titanium dioxide (TiO<sub>2</sub>) via polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) as binder. The resulting composites CO-TiO<sub>2</sub>-PVDF-CT were characterized and used as a flame retardant material. The thermal degradation and surface modification properties were investigated.
Highlights
In last decade, flame retardants (FR) were used in polymers to delay the spread of fire after ignition [1]
The results showed that metal oxide materials were a potential layer flame retardant for textile
From optical and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images, it is clear that uniform distribution with high particles density were immobilized at the fabric surface
Summary
Flame retardants (FR) were used in polymers to delay the spread of fire after ignition [1]. Several works aiming at the inorganic and organic materials with flame retardant [2,3,4,5]. Phosphorus flame retardant, nitrogen, zeolites and metal oxides have received a considerable attention. Flame retardant based on metal oxide was often divided into inorganic and organic flame retardants [6], which were considered as efficient alternatives for textile flame retardants. Among these metal oxides, titanium dioxide (TiO2), as flame retardant was considered a promising flame retardancy with a low toxicity
