This paper reviews the recent developments (last decade) in flame retardant polymeric
coatings that mostly work by formation of conventional char (condensed phase) and or …

The application of ammonium polyphosphate (APP) in different types of commodity
thermoplastic composites (polyethylene, polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), poly (methyl …

The fire retardancy mechanisms of aluminium diethylphosphinate in combination with
melamine polyphosphate and zinc borate was analysed in glass-fibre reinforced polyamide …

This work explores the feasibility of using graphene as an effective synergist for intumescent
flame retardant (IFR). The flammability test and fire behavior under different fire scenarios …

This review covers mainly intumescent coatings, with briefer discussions of non-intumescent
organic fire-resistive coatings and cementitious inorganic coatings. Emphasis is placed on …

Intumescent paints are specially formulated reactive coatings designed to swell or expand
into thick foamed char upon exposure to heat, protecting the substrates against fire by …

The paper reviews the different methods for flame retarding polylactide (PLA). They are
critically discussed based on the open and patent literature. No real specific methods have …

Intumescent coating (IC) is one of the famous protection systems for steel structures in the
event of fire. Over the last few decades, ICs have been gaining much attention because they …

A novel phosphorous–nitrogen structure containing intumescent flame retardant, poly (4, 4-
diaminodiphenyl methane spirocyclic pentaerythritol bisphosphonate)(PDSPB) was …

This work aims at evaluating the potential of nano-sized zinc borate as substitution of boric
acid for thermal degradation and gaseous products in expandable graphite based …
