With increasing the practical applications of polymeric materials, surging demands for high-performance flame-retardant polymer composites are obvious. Accurately predicting performance materials is critical expediting technology development. Here, we develop machine learning models based on Random Forest algorithm to create standard paradigms a self-generated comprehensive dataset consisting 2...

The application of phthalate plasticizers has been restricted around the world due to their poor migration and potential harm human body. Hence, producing functional bio-based via exploiting clean reusable resources meets satisfaction current demands. In this study, flame-retardant rubber seed oil-based plasticize (FRP) was prepared epoxidation reaction ring opening addition reactions, which us...

California's furniture flammability standard Technical Bulletin 117 (TB 117) is believed to be a major driver of chemical flame retardant (FR) use in residential furniture in the United States. With the phase-out of the polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) FR mixture PentaBDE in 2005, alternative FRs are increasingly being used to meet TB 117; however, it was unclear which chemicals were being ...

Abstract Epoxy resins (EPs) require the addition of flame retardants to extend their application scope. High-efficiency typically contain halogens, which can cause tremendous harm humans and environment. In this study, we investigated syntheses new phosphorus–nitrogen (DIT) flame-retardant EP. DIT is composed 6-(2,5-dihydroxyphenyl) dibenzo[c,e][1,2] oxaphosphinine 6-oxide, 5-isocyanato-1-(isoc...

Integrating bio-resources in materials allows to reduce the environmental impact of building industry. This study deals with fire-retardant treatments, alternative boric acid and ammonium salts solutions, applied hemp fibers for thermal insulation application. The aim is limit energy, sanitary impacts treatment, while optimizing technical performances. A laboratory protocol evaluates flame-reta...

Polyamide 6 (PA6) was melt-blended with an intumescent flame retardant (FR), multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs), and nanoclay particles to produce multi-component FR-PA6 nanocomposites. FR-PA6 nanofibers were processed from varied nanocomposite formulations via electrospinning. Electrospinnability, morphology, along with combustion and thermal properties of the nanofibers were investigated. Bo...

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...
