Abstract

In parallel with industrialization, concerns about human safety have noticeably grown. Consequently, there have been advancements in the fields of functional and protective textiles. Minerals such as vermiculite and perlite are widely accessible, lightweight, environmentally friendly, cost efficient, and inert, which makes it possible to create composite structures that are immensely useful. Vermiculite and perlite are potential candidates for fire protection since they are non-combustible. In this context, the previous research on developing flame-resistant textile materials using vermiculite and perlite has been summarized in this article.
