Polyester (PET) was pre-activated by atmospheric air plasma and coated by various inorganic oxide nanoparticles (MO_x) such as titanium dioxide (TiO₂), zinc oxide (ZnO), and silicon oxide (SiO₂), using poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) and chitosan (CT) as binders. The resulting PET-PVDF-MO_x-CT composites were thermally compressed and then characterized by scanning electron microscopy, Fourier infrared spectroscopy, thermal gravimetric analysis, and flame retardancy (FR) ability tests. PET modifications resulted in more thermally stable and less harmful composites with weaker hazardous gas release. This was explained in terms of structure compaction that blocks pyrolysis gas emissions. CT incorporation was found to reduce the material susceptibility to oxidation. This judicious procedure also allowed improving flame retardancy ability, by lengthening the combustion delay and slowing the flame propagation. Chitosan also turned out to contribute to a possible synergy with the other polymers present in the synthesized materials. These results provide valuable data that allow understanding the FR phenomena and envisaging low-cost high FR materials from biodegradable raw materials.
