Recent developments in the fire retardancy of polymeric materials
TLDR
In this paper, the authors highlight the ecological impacts of using conventional flame retardants, thereby signifying the necessity to use eco-friendly agents, and explore the use of various nanofillers for this purpose, compare their performance with traditional systems, provide insights into different testing standards and combustion mechanisms, modelling aspects of the combustion behavior, and identify novel approaches that could be considered for meeting the fire safety standards with ecofriendly materials.About:

TL;DR: In this paper, a mechanically resilient organic/inorganic composite aerogel with a thermal conductivity significantly lower than expanded polystyrene and excellent fire resistance was reported, which can resist a high temperature flame without disintegration and prevents the temperature on the nonexposed side from increasing above the temperature critical for the collapse of reinforced concrete structures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Self-assembly of exfoliated molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanosheets and layered double hydroxide (LDH): Towards reducing fire hazards of epoxy.
TL;DR: Compared with MoS2, the addition of LDH/MoS2 hybrids endowed more excellent fire resistance to epoxy matrix, which was reflected by the significantly reduced peak heat release rate, total heat release and total smoke production.

Influence of physical properties on polymer flammability in the cone calorimeter
TL;DR: In this article, the relationship between physical properties and fire performance as measured in the cone calorimeter is not well understood, and a number of studies have identified relationships between the physical and chemical properties of polymeric materials and their gasification behavior which can be determined through numerical pyrolysis models.
