Project
COST Action MP1105 Sustainable flame retardancy for textiles and related materials based on nanoparticles substituting conventional chemicals (FLARETEX)
The main objective is to form a European multidisciplinary Knowledge Platform on Sustainable Flame Retardancy to facilitate the rapid development of fire safe textiles and related materials of low toxicity and ecotoxicity, using all the available technologies.
Cooperation between researchers from different scientific disciplines will be promoted via Working Group meetings, workshops, conferences, Training Schools and Short-Term Scientific Missions.
