Silica Treatments: A Fire Retardant Strategy for Hemp Fabric/Epoxy Composites

Silica Treatments: A Fire Retardant Strategy for Hemp Fabric/Epoxy Composites

In this paper, for the first time, inexpensive waterglass solutions are exploited as a new, simple and ecofriendly chemical approach for promoting the formation of a silica-based coating on hemp fabrics, able to act as a thermal shield and to protect the latter from heat sources. Fourier Transform I...
