<p>The invention provides gel-coated materials that provide enhanced flame-, physical- and chemical-resistance to the foamed materials. The gel coatings can be created with a sol-gel process. Such treated materials can be used, for example, in the manufacture of articles of clothing that are to be used in environments in which fire and exposure to acids, bases or other chemicals which tend to corrode foamed materials is a potential hazard.</p> |
