A research team led by prof. Hieronim Maciejewski delivered a breakthrough project<\/span><\/strong> on modern flame-retardant agents<\/span><\/strong>, earning recognition from the international scientific community. <\/p>\n

Protecting textiles against fire has long been a challenge across many sectors\u2014from the clothing industry to construction and furniture manufacturing.<\/p>\n

Naturally flammable materials such as cotton require effective fire protection, while at the same time there is growing attention to the health and environmental safety of the chemicals used.<\/p>\n

Until now, many flame-retardant compounds have been based on toxic halogens or formaldehyde, posing risks to human health and the environment.<\/p>\n

PPNT\u2019s research team has developed an innovative solution that eliminates these issues.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The new flame-retardant agent<\/span><\/strong>, based on compounds containing phosphorus, sulfur and silicon\u2014was created using an advanced chemical process known as the thiol\u2013ene click<\/span><\/strong> reaction. As a result, the developed compounds contain no harmful halogens or formaldehyde, and their effectiveness relies on a sol\u2013gel process that forms a durable protective coating on cotton fibres. <\/p>\n

The solution reduces the heat release rate by 75%<\/span><\/strong>, significantly improving the fabric\u2019s resistance to fire.<\/p>\n

Importantly, the coating remains effective even after ten wash cycles<\/span><\/strong>, demonstrating its durability and stability in everyday use.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The research results were published in one of the most prestigious scientific journals – Scientific Reports<\/span><\/span><\/strong> (Nature portfolio) – under the title:
\u201cSynthesis of phosphorus, sulfur and silicon-containing flame retardant via thiol-ene click reaction and its use for durable finishing of cotton fabric\u201d.<\/p>\n

This innovative flame-retardant agent is an excellent example of how PPNT supports the development of new, safe and environmentally friendly technologies<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/strong> with real industrial applications. It is another achievement by our scientists, confirming that research carried out at PPNT meets world-class standards<\/span><\/strong>. <\/p>\n
