Preparation and thermal cross-linking mechanism of co-polyester fiber with flame retardancy and anti-dripping by polymerization.

Extensive research has been conducted on polyester flame retardants and anti-droplet modifications in recent years. The conventional methods used to improve the effectiveness of the anti-droplet modifications usually involve improving the melt fluidity and the combustion char formation through reactive cross-linking. However, these methods, while reducing the droplets, may produce more smoke.
