Most organic polymeric materials have high flammability, for which the large amounts of
smoke, toxic gases, heat, and melt drips produced during their burning cause immeasurable …

Textiles contain a high content of carbon and hydrogen in their structure which provides the
fuel for combustion and therefore are hazardous in case of a fire accident. A suitable flame …

Lightweight polymeric foam is highly attractive as thermal insulation materials for energy-
saving buildings but is plagued by its inherent flammability. Fire-retardant coatings are …

Alginates, a kind of naturally occurring polysaccharides, have been exploited for functional
materials owing to their versatility, sustainability, nontoxicity, and relatively low cost. Inherent …

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 …

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

Polymers and textiles can be found in every facet of human everyday life particularly as
household items and apparels though most of them are inherently flammable. Surface …

Smart and novel materials require the replacement of conventional composites with superior
ones, which requires an advanced class of composites with multi-functionality. Multi-scale …
