Title Layer-by-Layer-Coated Cellulose Fibers Enable the Production of Porous, Flame-Retardant, and Lightweight Materials

Abstract New sustainable materialsproduced by green processing routes arerequired in order to meet the concepts of circular economy. The replacementof insulating materials comprising flammable synthetic polymers bybio-based materials represents a potential opportunity to achievethis task. In this paper, low-density and flame-retardant (FR) porousfiber networks are prepared by assembling Layer-by-Layer (LbL)-functionalizedcellulose fibers by means of freeze-drying. The LbL coating, encompassingchitosan and sodium hexametaphosphate, enables the formation of aself-sustained porous structure by enhancing fiber-fiber interactionsduring the freeze-drying process. Fiber networks prepared from 3 Bi-Layer(BL)-coated fibers contain 80% wt of cellulose and can easily self-extinguishthe flame during flammability tests in vertical configuration whiledisplaying extremely low combustion rates in forced combustion tests.Smoke release is 1 order of magnitude lower than that of commerciallyavailable polyurethane foams. Such high FR efficiency is ascribedto the homogeneity of the deposited assembly, which produces a protectiveexoskeleton at the air/cellulose interface. The results reported inthis paper represent an excellent opportunity for the developmentof fire-safe materials, encompassing natural components where sustainabilityand performance are maximized.
