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 …

Flame retardants mitigate the threat of fire from inherently flammable materials responsible
for sustaining a high standard of living. Although bulk flame retardants have proven effective …

High-performance thermally insulating materials from renewable resources are needed to
improve the energy efficiency of buildings. Traditional fossil-fuel-derived insulation materials …

Flexible polyurethane foams (FPUFs) have been extensively used in furniture, carpet,
automobiles, etc., due to their superior thermal insulation, low bulk density and superior …

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 …

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

As flammable polymeric materials become more ubiquitous in consumer goods, home
furnishings, and transportation, there is a growing need for safe and effective flame retardant …

Starch has been employed via layer by layer assembly for building an efficient and
sustainable biobased coatings capable of protecting cotton from fire. In order to obtain a …

Polymer materials flammability represents a major limitation to their use and hence to the
development of most polymer-based advanced technologies. Environmental and safety …

The present study reports the successful synthesis of the flame-retardant and smoke-
suppressant flexible polyurethane foam (FPUF) through a fully bio-based coating …
