Intumescent Biobased-Polylactide Films to Flame Retard Nonwovens

The work focuses on the development of a newprocess to flame retard nonwovens, using films basedon renewable resources. Films consist in intumescentformulations of polylactic acid (PLA), ammoniumpolyphosphate (APP) blended with lignin or starchand are coated on hemp or wool nonwovens. Theobjective o...
