Abstract Polymeric materials and composites are well suited to support structures in marine conditions due their corrosion resistance. However, low glass transition temperature makes them vulnerable softening at high temperatures. Hence, fire retardancy is a key aspect if these selected ensure stiffness under flammable conditions. In this paper, fire-retardant polyurea coating for industrial ap...

As new flame retardant (FR) approaches are developed they must be evaluated with conventional FR additives, processing additives, stabilizers, and fillers. In most cases this is done in a number of polymers, and a variety of processing conditions also must be optimized. Thus the development of new FR methods is a multi-parameter problem. A full-factorial approach to developing the structure–pro...

Fire safety has become a major concern due to the ubiquitous use of polymers. The development flame retardant polymer materials consequently experienced huge growth in market size. New strategies and legislation have also been proposed save lives property. science economics retardancy, fire regulations, new technologies are under permanent evolution. This review paper focuses on revisiting clas...

Owing to the strong public concerns about environmental protection and potential energy crisis (fossil fuels), there is a global trend of substitution petrochemical-based polymers towards biopolymers. Polybutylene succinate (PBS), as an emerging biobased biodegradable polymer, has drawn great deal interest in number fields. However, high flammability PBS constitutes major obstacle for its appli...
