Abstract

The main objective of this work is to develop new nanocomposites to apply on the substrates of the leather and textile industry for seats of spaces and public vehicles. Specifically, we want to obtain a flame retardant effect using nanostructured coatings that confer thermal stability and fire resistance. The different nanomaterials should be included in a polymeric matrix; the hybrid organic-inorganic polymers will act as carriers of the nanomaterials, with the ability to interact with the nanoparticles and walls of the nanocapsules. In addition, they must show affinity for the collagen, in order to be introduced in the three-dimensional structure of leather and fixing them on its surface, as well as interacting with the textile substrate. The flame retardant capacity of the two synthesised products has been achieved according to regulations UNE-EN 1021: 06 part 1 and 2 and standard UNE 23723: 1990.
