Although very efficient and widely used, some
molecules employed in the formulation of the halogen-based FRs
such as pentabromodiphenyl ether, decabromodiphenyl ether (or
oxide) and polychlorinated biphenyls, have proven to be persistent,
bioaccumulative, and/or environmentally toxic for animals and
humans [2]. Among the currently commercial available flame re-
tardants, phosphorus-based compounds represent a suitable
alternative to halogen-based FRs. Furthermore, as far as fabrics are
concerned, the current
