TL;DR: In this article, a polysiloxane shell (Si-APP) was used to improve the water resistance of polypropylene (PP) and charring agent (CA), and the resulting Si-APP was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectra, transmission electron micrographs (TEM) and thermogravimetric analysis.

TL;DR: The organophosphorous hybrid showed better thermal stability than Al-PPi, and it met the processing temperature of semi-aromatic polyamide (HTN, for instance) as an additive-type flame retardant and limiting oxygen index and cone calorimetric analysis suggested the excellent flame-retardant performance and smoke suppressing activity by adding the resulting hybrid into HTN.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) on an intumescent flame retardant (IFR) in low-density polyethylene (LDPE) was investigated by limited oxygen index (LOI), vertical burning test (UL-94), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), cone calorimeter (CC) test, and scanning electronic microscopy (SEM).

TL;DR: In this article, a flame-retardant polypropylene (PP)/ramie fiber (RF) composite was prepared, and the ramie fibers were wrapped chemically by a phosphorus-and nitrogen-containing flame retardant (FR) produced via in situ condensation reaction so as to suppress their candlewick effect.

TL;DR: In this article, a hybrid flame retardant with high heat resistance was proposed, which is a hybrid which is formed by nanocrystalline metal oxide phosphinate, wherein metal oxide nanoparticles cover the surface of organic phosphinate.
