Many polymers, especially polyurethane foam and fiber fabric, are particularly easy to burn
and generate a large number of droplets leading to the rapid spread of the fire. Therefore …

Flexible polyurethane foams (FPUFs) have been extensively used in furniture, carpet,
automobiles, etc., due to their superior thermal insulation, low bulk density and superior …

Flame retardants are currently used in a wide range of industry sectors for saving lives and
property by mitigating fire hazards. The growing fire safety requirements for materials boost …

Metal-organic flame retardants (MOFRs) have been constantly applied to enhance fire safety
of polymers. Metallic compounds positively improve the MOFRs' performance in suppressing …

The objective of current research on intumescent formulations is on consolidated
approaches for conferring flame retardancy properties to polymers and polymer blends …

Synthetic textiles make a great contribution as the apparel, industrial and technical textile
goods, though most of them are inherently flammable. Thus, the fire retardant treatment of …

This paper reviews the recent developments (last decade) in flame retardant polymeric
coatings that mostly work by formation of conventional char (condensed phase) and or …

As flammable polymeric materials become more ubiquitous in consumer goods, home
furnishings, and transportation, there is a growing need for safe and effective flame retardant …

The present paper is aimed to review the state of the art on the novel and emerging
techniques recently developed in the textile field for conferring flame retardant properties to …

The pervasive use of plastics in modern society necessitates the incorporation of organic
additives to enhance their performance. However, the leachability of these additives and …
