Jute fibers have gain importance recently because of its biodegradable, eco-friendly character and low-cost.
These fibers are widely used in technical textiles such as reinforcement in composite materials for automotive
and transport industry, and as carpets, carpet backings, upholstery, sacks and also as decoration objects.
Cotton is the most common natural fiber for clothing. Because of its cellulosic structures, these fibers burn
easily. However, jute technical products and cotton when used in flame retardant workwear require flame
retardant properties. Instead of conventional flame retardant chemicals, like phosphorus-nitrogen products,
biobased chemicals are preferred to fulfil environmental concerns. Tannic acid (TA) is a biobased, sustainable
and natural product that give antioxidant, antibacterial, etc. properties to materials and also has good thermal
insulating performance. Its molecule has outer and inner galloyl units which decomposes at 230-400oC and
400-750oC, respectively (1-10). The aim of this study was to investigate effects of TA-metal ion complexes
with sodium and silver on flame retardancy, and mechanical properties of jute and cotton.
