Flame retardation research is an old field that has recently received attention due to the
societal need of developing greener materials and methodologies that do not compromise …

Synthetic textiles make a great contribution as the apparel, industrial and technical textile
goods, though most of them are inherently flammable. Thus, the fire retardant treatment of …

This paper aims at updating the progress on the phosphorus-based flame retardants
specifically designed and developed for fibers and fabrics (particularly referring to cotton …

This new edition of a bestseller incorporates recent developments and advances in
thermoplastics with regard to materials development, processing, properties, and …

Nanocoatings consisting of ammonium polyphosphate (APP), sodium montmorillonite
(MMT), and vinyltrimethoxysilane (VTMS) were prepared via self-assembly and in situ sol …

The flammability of polymeric materials depends on thermal degradation processes which
occur on exposing them to heat. Fire retardant systems have been developed which reduce …

The currently available heat and flame resistant textiles are reviewed. These fall into two
groups, each of which is based on the use of non-thermoplastic fibres as the major fibre …

This paper presents a facile synthesis method for bio-derived (from the bark of Terminalia
arjuna and tea powder) phosphorus-functionalized materials (AB-P and TP-P). The resulting …

Biobased gelatins were used to improve the compressive properties and flammability of poly
(vinyl alcohol)/montmorillonite (PVA/MMT) aerogels, fabricated using a simple and …

In this article, we report the synthesis of polymer-functionalized graphene composites as
highly potent flame retardants. Functionalized polyaniline (PANI)-and polypyrrole (PPy) …
