A wood material has a disadvantage owing to its feature of combustible. In order to surmount this disadvantage, it has been using many chemical substances which inhibit burning or fire retardant. When a wood material burns, carbon... more
We investigate the steady-state multiplicity exhibited by the reaction of a fuel/air mixture in a continuously stirred tank reactor. The chemical mechanism used is a modification of a scheme due to Sal'nikov. We consider four cases;... more
This chapter reviews the current state of the art referring to the potentialities offered by flame retarded cotton fabrics, obtained through surface engineered methods, namely sol-gel and layer by layer. In particular, the contribution of... more
New hybrid sol–gel coatings based on tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and phytic acid (PA) were designed and applied to cotton; the flame-retardant properties of the treated fabrics were thoroughly investigated by means of flame-spread and... more
Flame retardant functionality was imparted in cellulosic textile using spinach leaves juice (SJ), an eco-friendly natural product. The extracted juice was made alkaline and applied in fresh bleached and mercerized cotton fabrics. Flame... more
