Polypropylene (PP), one of five general-purpose plastics, is widely used in many fields.
However, the intrinsic alkane structure of PP makes it relatively easy to burn, leading to …

Magnesium hydroxide and magnesium oxide are compounds with favourable and unique
properties, leading to a broad range of opportunities for their use in science, and above all in …

Conventional methods of improving the flame retardancy of PA 6 usually involve the
sacrifice of mechanical properties, which is unfavorable for the practical application. Herein …

The present article deals with the fabrication of magnesium hydroxide (MH) filler reinforced
kenaf/epoxy hybrid composites with different loading (10%, 15%, 20% and 25% by wt) …

The effect of zinc borate (ZnB), boric acid (BA) and boric oxide (B 2 O 3) was studied on the
flame retardant and thermal stability properties of epoxy resin containing red phosphorus …

In this paper microencapsulation of magnesium hydroxide, red phosphorus, inorganic
phosphorus and organic flame retardants have been reviewed. The effects of different shell …

Biochar based wood/polypropylene (PP) composites were manufactured with two flame
retardants (FRs): ammonium polyphosphate/APP and magnesium hydroxide/Mg (OH) 2. The …

Burning of plastics present a serious problem for both our health and safety when applied in
advanced applications. Based on the above argument, there is need to enhance the …

The effect of microcapsulated red phosphorus (mRP) was studied on the flame retardant,
thermal and mechanical properties of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) composites …

Polypropylene (PP) burns very rapidly due to its wholly aliphatic hydrocarbon structure.
Studies have shown that the rapid decomposition and flammability of PP are very high when …
