Nowadays, the real need for new flame retardants for textile substrates, which could be able to combine high efficiency together with low environmental impact, is pushing both the academic and industrial efforts toward the seeking for and the design of new possible solutions: among the different possibilities that deserve investigation, biomacromolecules seem to show some peculiarities that make them suitable candidates for replacing the halogenated or phosphorous-based flame retarded chemicals currently employed for conferring flame retardant features to cellulosic and polyester fabrics. In this context, the present work will discuss the specific flame retardant properties that such biomacromolecules as ribonucleic acids and proteins can provide to textiles, highlighting the current drawbacks and limits.

Abstract

Nowadays, the real need for new flame retardants for textile substrates, which could be able to combine high efficiency together with low environmental impact, is pushing both the academic and industrial efforts toward the seeking for and the design of new possible solutions: among the different possibilities that deserve investigation, biomacromolecules seem to show some peculiarities that make them suitable candidates for replacing the halogenated or phosphorous-based flame retarded chemicals currently employed for conferring flame retardant features to cellulosic and polyester fabrics. In this context, the present work will discuss the specific flame retardant properties that such biomacromolecules as ribonucleic acids and proteins can provide to textiles, highlighting the current drawbacks and limits.
