Indeed, as clearly depicted by Horrocks in a recent review, the world of flame retardants for textiles is still experiencing some changes that are focused on topics like the improvement of its effectiveness and the replacement of toxic chemical products with counterparts that have low environmental impact and, hence, are more sustainable. In this context, phosphorus-based compounds play a key role and may lead, possibly in combination with silicon- or nitrogen-containing structures, to the design of new, efficient flame retardants for fibers and fabrics. Therefore, this review thoroughly describes the advances and the potentialities offered by the phosphorus-based products recently developed at a lab-scale, highlighting the current limitations, open challenges and some perspectives toward their possible exploitation at a larger scale.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/polym8090319","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,8,25]],"date-time":"2016-08-25T10:11:44Z","timestamp":1472119904000},"page":"319","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":244,"title":["Recent Advances for Flame Retardancy of Textiles Based on Phosphorus Chemistry"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"8","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2541-9652","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Khalifah","family":"Salmeia","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Additives and Chemistry, Advanced Fibers, Empa, Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology, St. Gallen CH-9014, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9891-5249","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sabyasachi","family":"Gaan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Additives and Chemistry, Advanced Fibers, Empa, Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology, St. Gallen CH-9014, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0459-7698","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Giulio","family":"Malucelli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Applied Science and Technology, Local INSTM Unit, Politecnico di Torino, Viale T.
