Many polymers, especially polyurethane foam and fiber fabric, are particularly easy to burn
and generate a large number of droplets leading to the rapid spread of the fire. Therefore …

Fabric flammability is a surface-confined phenomenon: in fact, the fabric surface represents
the most critical region, through which the mass and heat transfers, responsible for fueling …

The highly flammable character of cellulose-rich fibers from wood limits their use in some
advanced materials. To suppress the flammability and introduce flame-retardant properties …

Potassium alginate (PA), a green polymeric material extracted from seaweed, was firstly
coupled with environmentally friendly antimicrobial polyhexamethylene guanidine …

Undoubtedly the applications of polymers are rapidly evolving. Technology is continually
changing and quickly advancing as polymers are needed to solve a variety of day-to-day …

Sodium polyborate (SPB) has been employed with polyhexamethylene guanidine
phosphate (PHMGP) to compose a nitrogen-phosphorus-boron intumescent coating on …

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have great potential for the development of fire barriers
for flammable materials. Accordingly, zirconium-based metal-organic framework (Zr-MOF) …

Macromolecules containing acidic fragments in side-groups—polyacids—occupy a special
place among synthetic polymers. Properties and applications of polyacids are directly …

To improve the flame-retardant efficiency and water resistance of ammonium polyphosphate
(APP), the UV-curable pentaerythritol triacrylate (PETA) was used to microencapsulate APP …

We fabricate transparent cellulose nanopapers with significantly enhanced flame retardancy
by a vacuum filtration assisted layer-by-layer deposition method. Flame retardancy is …
