Flame Retardancy of Cotton/Alginate Composite Nonwoven Fabrics
Alginate fibers, which are bio-based fibers, are one of inherently flame retardant materials.Can the addition of alginate fiber to cotton fiber improve the flame retardancy of prepared cotton/alginate composite nonwoven fabrics? In order to resolve this question, in the present work, the effect of the additive amount of alginate fibers to cotton fibers on the flame retardancy of prepared cottor/alginate composite nonwoven fabrics were investigated by microscale combustion calorimetry (MCC).Compared with cotton nonwoven fabric, the addition of alginate fibers seviously improved the flame retardancy of prepared cotton/alginate composite nonwoven fabrics.MCC results indicated that the addition of alginate fiber reduced the peak heat release rate (PHRR) value, total heat release (THR) and heat release capacity (HRC), showing improvement on flame retardant properties of prepared cotton/alginate composite nonwoven fabrics.This result indicates that alginate fibers should be used as a kind of flame retardants to flame-retard cotton fibers.
