This review examines the fire retardant potential of natural fiber-reinforced polymer
composites derived from plant fibers such as sisal, jute, hemp and coir etc. While these …

Carbon-based materials demonstrate unique physical structures and chemical properties,
thus used as effective functional fillers for enhancing the properties of intumescent fire …

Combinations of multiple inorganic fillers have emerged as viable synergistic agents for
boosting the flame retardancy of intumescent flame retardant (IFR) polymer materials …

Wood is one of the most commonly-used and sustainable construction materials, but it is
flammable in nature. Pre-charring is an ancient approach used to protect wooden …

Zirconium phenyl phosphate (ZrPP) has good compatibility in polymers due to its
simultaneous inorganic-organic structure. Here, ZrPP was anchored on high barrier boron …

In this study, phytic acid-doped polyaniline (PPA) was loaded on the surface of carbon
spheres, resulting in a classical CNP flame retardant system, that has a beneficial function …

Abstract Here, carbon spheres (CS), a carbonaceous spherical material with a wide source
and easy preparation, were used as enhanced nano-fillers to reinforce the flame retardancy …

The fire behaviour of radiata pine timber, treated with intumescent coatings and exposed to
heat flux conditions equivalent to a high-risk bushfire attack level (BAL) is investigated. The …

Bacillariophyceae (diatoms) is a unique class of unicellular microalgae of remarkable
evolutionary success showing large diversity over a relatively short geologic timescale …

To improve the fire resistance and smoke suppression performances of intumescent fire-
retardant (IFR) coatings, natural agar was firstly introduced into IFR coatings on steel …
