Furfurylated wood has been used widely for exterior purposes due to its superior dimensional stability and biological durability, though fire resistance is not enhanced. Here, the introduction of fire-retardant additive guanyl-urea phosphate (GUP) into furfurylated reported. The treatment improved both thermal stabilities modified wood, as supported by results gravimetric analysis (TGA) limitin...

Phosphorus-based flame retardants were incorporated into different, easily preparable matrices, such as polymeric thermoset resins and paraffin as a proposed model for polyolefins and investigated for their flame retardancy performance. The favored mode of action of each flame retardant was identified in each respective system and at each respective concentration. Thermogravimetric analysis was...

Abstract A novel fire-retardant epoxy thermoset, containing boron polyol complex, was prepared and characterised. The additive a stoichiometric mixture of boric acid glycerol. Flame retardancy the resin improved by formation stable char layer that protected underlying from further burning. Phonon transport through polymer matrix via hydrogen bonding identified. acted as thermal bridge for inter...
