“…All these research efforts on this topic are clearly witnessed by the remarkably increasing number of articles published in the last 15 to 20 years (Figure 2). Further, the extended research carried out so far is well documented by several reviews that appeared in the scientific literature [29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39]. The present review aims to discuss the current state of the art related to the use of LbL architectures made of nanostructured components for conferring flame retardancy to co on fabrics.…”

Nowadays, nanotechnology represents a well-established approach, suitable for designing, producing, and applying materials to a broad range of advanced sectors. In this context, the use of well-suited “nano” approaches accounted for a big step forward in conferring optimized flame-retardant features to such a cellulosic textile material as cotton, considering its high ease of flammability, yearly production, and extended use. Being a surface-localized phenomenon, the flammability of cotton can be quite simply and effectively controlled by tailoring its surface through the deposition of nano-objects, capable of slowing down the heat and mass transfer from and to the textile surroundings, which accounts for flame fueling and possibly interacting with the propagating radicals in the gas phase. In this context, the layer-by-layer (LbL) approach has definitively demonstrated its reliability and effectiveness in providing cotton with enhanced flame-retardant features, through the formation of fully inorganic or hybrid organic/inorganic nanostructured assemblies on the fabric surface. Therefore, the present work aims to summarize the current state of the art related to the use of nanostructured LbL architectures for cotton flame retardancy, offering an overview of the latest research outcomes that often highlight the multifunctional character of the deposited assemblies and discussing the current limitations and some perspectives.

This paper reports on the application of extract from the peels of jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam.) to increase flame retardancy and reduce toxic gaseous emissions from the combustion of cotton textiles. In particular, the results from Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of treated and untreated samples proved the incorporation of jackfruit peels extract onto the textile substrate, while the results from thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and standard flammability tests of treated and untreated samples, and their corresponding limiting oxygen index (LOI), proving the flame retardancy effect of jackfruit peels extract on the textile substrate. The textile substrate treated with jackfruit peels extract exhibited excellent flame retardancy, evident by LOI value increasing to 26.8% and samples self‐extinguishing within 4.5 s after being removed from the reference flame. In addition, the increase in flame retardancy of treated textile samples also demonstrated good washing durability, even after 30 cycles of standard washing. More importantly, gas chromatography coupled mass spectroscopy (GC/MS) analysis of gaseous emissions from the combustion of samples treated by jackfruit peels extract and by commercial Pyrovatex CP suggested that the use of jackfruit peels extract could help greatly reduce the release of toxic volatile substances, which would pose significant risk to the health of human and the ability of people to safely evacuate from fire accidents. In conclusion, these results have demonstrated the potential of a novel green approach for the fabrication of flame‐retardant textiles.
