This paper is a review of polymer nanocomposites used for flame retardancy applications,
including commercial materials and open literature examples. Where possible, details on …

Polymer nanocomposites are a new class of flame retarded materials which have attracted
much attention and considered as a revolutionary new flame retardant approach. A very …

This is an updated version of the book first published in 1995. The use of particulate fillers in
polymers has a long history, and they continue to play a very important role today. In the …

Flame Retardant Polymer Nanocomposites takes a comprehensive look at polymer
nanocomposites for flame retardancy applications and includes nanocomposite …

Polymer‐clay nanocomposites are a newer class of flame retardant materials of interest due
to their balance of mechanical, thermal and flammability properties. Much more work has …

The effects of nanoclay (organoclay) and fire retardants (aluminium tri-hydroxide and
magnesium hydroxide) on the fire retardancy of a polymer blend of ethylene-vinyl acetate …

Two polymerizable cationic surfactants,(11-acryloyloxyundecyl) dimethyl (2-hydroxyethyl)
ammonium bromide (hydroxyethyl surfmer) and (11-acryloyloxyundecyl) …

This chapter is focused on the applications of clay–polymer nanocomposites (CPN). Clay
minerals improve the rheological, mechanical, barrier, thermal, and degradation properties …

A large number of studies using the cone calorimeter showed that nanoparticles used even
in small quantities (eg 3 wt.%) improve fire retardancy by reducing significantly the heat …

The thermal degradation and flame retardancy of poly (methyl methacrylate) containing
three mineral fillers, with different geometry, MMT: plate-like, sepiolite: fibrilar and zirconium …
