Rigid polyurethane foam (RPUF) is one of the best thermal insulation materials available,
but its flammability makes it a potential fire hazard. Due to its porous nature, the large …

Polyurethane is a multipurpose polymer with indispensable physical characteristics and
technical uses, such as films/coatings, fibers, and foams. The inclusion of nanoparticles in …

Incorporating flame retardants (FRs) is an essential way to enhance flame resistance of
polymers. In an effort to obtain required flame retardancy, a large number of flame retardants …

Polyurethane foam (PUF) is the most widely used polymeric foam, owing to its low cost,
minimal density, and superior thermal insulation characteristics. Nonetheless, its …

Flexible polyurethane foams (FPU) are widely used in heat insulation but pose fire risks due
to their flammability. In this study, we specifically introduce a novel flame-retardant coating …

Polymeric materials such as fabric and foam have high flammability which limits their
application in the field of fire protection. To this end, an organic-inorganic polymer colloid …

A comprehensive investigation was conducted using a series of coatings composed of
montmorillonite (MMT), ammonium polyphosphate (APP), and/or chitosan (CH), which were …

Polyurea (PU) elastomers have become increasingly popular in recent years due to their
exceptional blast mitigation, ballistic protection, and wear resistance properties. However …

Polyurethane foams are materials characterized by low density and thermal conductivity and
can therefore be used as thermal insulation materials. They are synthesized from toxic and …

To meet the growing needs of public safety and sustainable development, it is highly
desirable to develop flame-retardant polymer materials using a facile and low-cost method …
