Article Description

Fire-retardant fiber was prepared from goatskin fiber by treating with a melamine-based flame retardant. Kissinger and Flynn-Wall-Ozawa methods were used for analyzing the thermo-gravimetric data obtained from the goatskin fiber and the fire-retardant fiber at different heating rates. Kinetic parameters were calculated from the thermo-gravimetric data at different heating rates. Activation energies obtained using the Kissinger and Flynn-Wall-Ozawa methods were 154.57 kJ/mol and 158.45 kJ/mol, respectively, for the goatskin fiber and 210.15 kJ/mol and 212.52 kJ/mol, respectively, for the fireretardant fiber. The oxygen index of the fire-retardant fiber treated with 4 wt% melamine-based flame retardant increased significantly to a value of 31.7 %. The thermal stability and the flame retardant property of the fire-retardant fiber were improved significantly.
