Lignin and Wood Chemistry

Three main topics are described in this chapter, namely (i) physical and chemical structural of cellulosic materials, (ii) fire and flame retardancy finishing of cellulosic materials, and (iii) fire and flame retardancy finishing of cellulosic materials and its composite. The first subject describes in detail different cellulose sources and their chemical and physical structures. Furthermore, the types, structure, and chemical composition of different fibers (cotton, linen, jute, bamboo, hemp, and wood) and their blend have been described in detail. The second subject contains the uses of flame retardant fabrics, and describes the deference in the definition of retardant/resistant terms; in addition, the theory of combustion or burning process, and the mechanism of fire and flame retardant action are explained in detail. Also, different phosphorous flame retardant synergism, types of flame resistant finishes, and their classification based on durability and nature have been mentioned. By the end of this chapter, different Flammability Tests for Textile are described in detail. The last section of the chapter shows the finishing of cellulosic materials and their composites in detail.
