Scientific researches have been focused on finding halogen-free solutions as effective as
halogenated ones owing to environmental and health problems in recent years. This fact is …

Due to thermal and flame/fire sensitivity of biopolymers especially in plant-based biopolymer
fillers, it is extremely and necessary to improve the reaction to flame. The bio-polymers …

As an abundant and attractive element, the emergence of new carbon-based materials
brings revolutionary development in material science and technology. Carbon-based …

Flexible polyurethane foams (FPUFs) have been extensively used in furniture, carpet,
automobiles, etc., due to their superior thermal insulation, low bulk density and superior …

Against the background of people's increasing awareness of personal safety and property
safety, the flame retardancy (FR) of materials has increasingly become the focus of attention …

Synthetic textiles make a great contribution as the apparel, industrial and technical textile
goods, though most of them are inherently flammable. Thus, the fire retardant treatment of …

Fire is a serious threat to people and the structures they build. There is a continuous
development of newer methods and materials to prevent its effects on them. Nowadays, a lot …

Different kinds of additive and reactive flame retardants containing phosphorus are
increasingly successful as halogen-free alternatives for various polymeric materials and …

In this Feature Article, we discuss recent developments of flame retardant polymers. Three
approaches are considered:(i) inherently flame retardant polymers,(ii) chemically modified …

The subject on flammability properties of natural fibre-reinforced biopolymer composites has
not been broadly researched. This is not only evidenced by the minimal use of biopolymer …
