“…Transition metal oxides and metal salts have been utilized as catalytic detoxifiers in the field of flame retardancy, significantly mitigating smoke toxicity. , Furthermore, these compounds serve a crucial role during combustion by facilitating the formation of a stable carbonaceous layer, thereby impeding the release of heat from the polymers . Notably, Cu 2 O has emerged as a promising candidate, displaying higher conversion rate in oxidizing CO to CO 2 in comparison to other copper oxide species of diverse valences, including Cu and CuO. , However, its poor compatibility with EP, and the tendency to agglomerate, limit its further application.…”

To endow epoxy resins (EPs) with outstanding flame-retardant and smoke-inhibiting effects, a multifunctional nanoparticle (SCP) has been designed and prepared via a simple approach, wherein Cu 2 O, melamine, and phosphorus-containing flame retardants were successively deposited onto the surface of silica nanospheres. The incorporation of a low addition amount of 2 wt % SCP within the EP demonstrates a significant improvement in flame retardancy. This enhancement is evidenced by a notable increase in the limiting oxygen index to 29.2% and attainment of a V-1 rating in the vertical burning test, in contrast to the respective values of 23.8% and no rating for unmodified EP, respectively. Moreover, the total smoke production, peak of heat release rate, and peak production rate of CO of EP/SCP-2 during the cone calorimeter test decreased by 10.2%, 26.1%, and 37.0%, respectively. Besides, the incorporation of 2 wt % SCP also endows the EP composites with commendable mechanical properties and glass transition temperature (T g ), as evidenced by a 22.5% increase in impact strength, an 8.1% rise in tensile strength, and a 9.5% increase in T g , comparing with the unmodified EP. The flame-retardant mechanism analysis revealed that SCP functions within epoxy resin through both gas-phase and condensed-phase mechanisms. Overall, the proposed multifunctional nanoparticle strategy presents promising approaches for simultaneously enhancing the fire safety and mechanical performance of polymer materials.

The field of technical textiles has grown significantly during the last two decades, with a focus on functionality rather than aesthetics. However, the advancement of NanoFusion technology provides a novel potential to combine better functionality and aesthetic value in textile finishes. NanoFusion incorporates nanoparticles into textile treatments to improve waterproofing, stain resistance, durability, and breathability. This is performed without affecting the textile's visual appeal or aesthetics and may even improve them. This textile finishing revolution is expected to impact industries such as athletics, outdoor clothing, car upholstery, and luxury fashion. It offers cutting‐edge functionality while maintaining style and design integrity. Furthermore, the use of nanoparticle textile coatings opens up new opportunities for personalization and modification. Manufacturers and designers can now experiment with different color combinations, patterns, and textured finishes while maintaining performance characteristics. NanoFusion technology has the potential to transform the textile industry by providing hitherto unattainable levels of performance and aesthetics. This study reviews the current state of the art in nanofinishes for garment textiles, focusing on their many varieties, techniques, mechanisms, and applications. In addition, it addresses significant concerns such as sustainability and the environmental footprint, paving the way for a new era in textile manufacturing.
