Bioderived flame retardants represent one class of the most promising sustainable additives
for creating flame retardant polylactic acid (PLA) because of their marginal impact on the …

Polymers and textiles can be found in every facet of human everyday life particularly as
household items and apparels though most of them are inherently flammable. Surface …

Epoxy resins are widely applied in industry for producing fire safe materials. Unfortunately,
epoxy resins have the disadvantage of being highly flammable and thus require suitable …

Flame retardancy and recyclability are two important issues in the research field of
thermosets, particularly for epoxy resin (EP) with the biggest market share. It is of great …

The implementation of current flame-retardant strategy is often accompanied by the
deterioration of other properties, eg, mechanical and optical properties. Herein, a flame …
