Compositions with improved flame properties and with improved melt dripping properties can include a first polymer and a reactive component. The first polymer may be nylon or polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The composition can be formed into fibers and woven into a fabric. Crosslinking of the first polymer or of the first polymer and the reactive component can provide the improved properties.
