Cotton, a natural textile fiber, is widely used worldwide due to its softness, comfort,
breathability, and other properties. However, the limit oxygen index value (LOI) of cotton is …

An urgent need is to reduce the flammability of polymers and manage their toxic thermal
decomposition products. Although conventional halogenated, metallic and phosphorus …

The safety problems of lithium ion batteries (LIBs) have been the main obstacles that hinder
their broad applications in portable electronic devices, electric vehicles, and energy storage …

Three kinds of divalent metal ions (Ca 2+, Cu 2+, Zn 2+) alginate/silver phosphate (MAlg/Ag
3 PO 4) hybrid materials were prepared via an in-situ method, and the composites were …

Although bioderived flame retardants are environmentally sustainable and less toxic, their
impact on the thermal stability and flammability of polymers remains poorly understood. In …

Silicone rubber foam has wide application potential because of the lightweight and good
mechanical flexibility. Herein, silicone rubber foam with ceramicizable flame retardant …

Tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA), one of the most common brominated flame retardants, has
been associated with immunotoxicity, neurotoxicity, and reproductive toxicity. However, little …

The use of polymer composite materials in the aeronautics and automotive sectors has
increased dramatically, and their fire behaviour has become a critical parameter in terms of …

Hexabromocyclododecanes (HBCDs) are the second-most widely used brominated flame
retardants. They cause inappropriate antidiuretic hormone syndrome and can induce …

As the energy density of lithium-ion batteries continues to increase, battery safety issues
characterized by thermal runaway have become increasingly severe. Battery safety issues …
