The broad technological exploitation of polypropylene (PP)/intumescent flame retardants
(IFR) composites with outstanding flame retardancy and mechanical properties is stifled by …

In this study, different amounts of boric acid (BA, 1.25, 2.5, 3.75 and 5.0 wt%) were used to
enhance the effectiveness of an intumescent flame retardant (IFR) system composed of …

Abstract Antimony trioxide (Sb 2 O 3) is a traditional widely used flame retardant in flexible
poly (vinyl chloride)(fPVC). However, more and more serious drawbacks of this flame …

In the present work, the effect of sodium montmorillonite (Na+ Mt) on the resulting properties
of semi-finished (crust) leather has been thoroughly studied. Na+ Mt has been added during …
