TL;DR: In this article, a review of recent developments which have tried to increase the efficiency of known chemistry to enhance char formation by intumescent action on the one hand with the effect of inclusion of nanoclays on the other.

TL;DR: In this article, the problem of fire can be described as two distinct phenomena, glowing and flaming, which present different potential hazards and should be ap-proached in different ways Glowing is a direct oxidation of solid cellulose or its degradation products It is generally a slow combustion and is of great concern for only specific items, such as c

TL;DR: In this article, a simple refluxing of GO with octa-aminophenyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (OapPOSS) without the use of any reducing agents was realized by simple reduction and surface functionalization of graphene oxide.

TL;DR: A functional polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (NPOSS) with two epoxy ring groups was synthesized via the reaction between trisilanolisobutyl-POSS and triglycidyl isocyanurate, and then a halogen-free epoxy composite containing silicon/nitrogen was prepared as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: A meaningful trend was observed among well-classified ranges of FRI quantities calculated for the studied dataset on thermoplastic composites by which “Poor’, “Good”, and “Excellent” flame retardancy performances were explicitly defined and exhibited on logarithmic scales of FRI axis.
