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:

Thermally insulating and fire-retardant lightweight anisotropic foams based on nanocellulose and graphene oxide
Bernd Wicklein,Andraž Kocjan,German Salazar-Alvarez,Federico Carosio,Giovanni Camino,Markus Antonietti,Lennart Bergström +6 more
TL;DR: This work shows that freeze-casting suspensions of cellulose nanofibres, graphene oxide and sepiolite nanorods produces super-insulating, fire-retardant and strong anisotropic foams that perform better than traditional polymer-based insulating materials.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intumescence: Tradition versus novelty. A comprehensive review
TL;DR: The main concepts of intumescence are reviewed in this article, highlighting the novelties as well as the most significant results achieved in the flame retardancy of polymeric materials in the last 10-15 years.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carbon-family materials for flame retardant polymeric materials
TL;DR: In this article, a review of carbon-based materials for polymeric composites with flame retardant properties is presented, including graphite, graphene, carbon nanotubes, fullerenes as well as new emerging carbon forms (carbon nitride, carbon aerogels, etc).

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.

Reaction products of triglycidylisocyanurate with phosphoric acids and their use as flame retardant agents
TL;DR: In this paper, the reaction between TGI and H 3 PO 4 and the thermal behaviour of the resultant additive materials obtained have been studied by means of DSC and it seems that the conversion is equal to, or lower than, 36%.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal degradation and combustion of polymeric blends
TL;DR: In this article, a new scheme of thermal degradation for polystyrene-polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) blend was suggested, which stabilizes the PS by means of interpolymer recombination.
Journal ArticleDOI
Acquired risk factors and susceptibility to environmental toxicants.
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of acquired susceptibility factors on susceptibility to environmental toxicants was investigated, which is related to the effects of living conditions, psychosocial factors, diet, behavior and access to medical care.
