Flame-Retardancy Properties of Intumescent Ammonium Poly(Phosphate) and Mineral Filler Magnesium Hydroxide in Combination with Graphene
TL;DR: In this article, thermal reduced graphite oxide (TRGO) was combined with ammonium polyphosphate (APP) and magnesium hydroxide (MH) in polypropylene (PP) for pyrolysis, reaction to small flame, fire behavior and mechanical properties.

The thermal decomposition of huntite and hydromagnesite—A review☆
L.A. Hollingbery,T.R. Hull +1 more
TL;DR: The thermal decomposition mechanism of hydromagnesite is sensitive to many factors including rate of heating and the composition of the atmosphere as discussed by the authors, and the partial pressure of carbon dioxide significantly affects the decomposition mechanisms of the mineral, causing magnesium carbonate to crystallise and decompose at higher temperature instead of decomposing directly to magnesium oxide.

Review on flammability of biofibres and biocomposites.
Mfiso Emmanuel Mngomezulu,Mfiso Emmanuel Mngomezulu,Maya Jacob John,Maya Jacob John,Valencia Jacobs,Valencia Jacobs,Adriaan S. Luyt +6 more
TL;DR: This paper reviews the literature on the recent developments on flammability studies of bio-fibres, biopolymers and natural fibre-reinforced biocomposites, and covers the different types of flame retardants used and their mechanisms.

The fire retardant behaviour of huntite and hydromagnesite – A review
L.A. Hollingbery,T.R. Hull +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the fire retardant mechanism of hydromagnesite and huntite and found that both minerals contribute to the reduction in flammability of polymers although the extent of these interactions has not been fully investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Novel flame retardants containing cyclodextrin nanosponges and phosphorus compounds to enhance EVA combustion properties
TL;DR: In this paper, a novel flame retardant intumescent system, aimed to improve the fire stability of EVA, has been prepared by melt blending of the copolymer and a complex of cyclodextrin nanosponge-phosphorus compounds.
