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 …

Polymeric and textile based materials constitute the majority of market products, however,
due to their low thermal stability and high flammability hazards, their uses are limited in …

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 …

Abstract The 2017 Grenfell Tower fire spread rapidly around the combustible façade system
on the outside of the building, killing 72 people. We used a range of micro-and bench-scale …

The subject on flammability properties of natural fibre-reinforced biopolymer composites has
not been broadly researched. This is not only evidenced by the minimal use of biopolymer …

Susceptibility to damage from heat and flame is one of the major issues for utilisation of
natural fibre reinforced polymeric composites in practical applications. Thus, the knowledge …
