Flame retardant challenges for textiles and fibres: New chemistry versus innovatory solutions (2011, background): “7 Of particular interest is the paper by Lewin in 2005 which reviewed the challenges and questions to be addressed in the general flame retardancy of polymers many of which are relevant to textiles [31].”
Layer by Layer ammonium polyphosphate-based coatings for flame retardancy of polyester–cotton blends (2012, background): “Lewin has thoroughly reviewed the main combustion features related to cotton and polyester blended in a single substrate (Lewin, 2005).”
Flammability of Natural Fiber-reinforced Composites and Strategies for Fire Retardancy: A Review (2010, background): “According to Lewin [40], it is thought that no chemical interaction takes place between endothermic fire retardants, such as magnesium hydroxide and ATH, and the polymer during pyrolysis and combustion.”
