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 …

The objective of current research on intumescent formulations is on consolidated
approaches for conferring flame retardancy properties to polymers and polymer blends …

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 …

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 …

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 intumescence, compactness, and strength of char are the key points to the intumescent
flame retardant system. However, the char residues of flame retardant polymers rarely …

Abstract 3D printing has attracted increasing attention as it exhibits excellent potential in the
fabrication of 3D complex structures, which are very difficult to make using conventional …

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 …

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

The mainstream use of intumescent coatings for the design of fire-safe steel structures has
fostered extensive research into the development of effective intumescent coatings and the …
