With the continuous advancements of urbanization, the demand for power cables is
increasing to replace overhead lines for energy transmission and distribution. Due to …

A phosphorous‐nitrogen intumescent flame‐retardant, 2, 2‐diethyl‐1, 3‐propanediol
phosphoryl melamine (DPPM), was synthesized and characterized by Fourier transform …

The flammability of polymeric materials depends on thermal degradation processes which
occur on exposing them to heat. Fire retardant systems have been developed which reduce …

The effects of lanthanum oxide (La2O3) as a synergistic agent on the flame retardancy of
intumescent flame retardant polypropylene composites (IFR–PP) were studied, and the new …

Very recently, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) has proven to be an efficient renewable, natural
flame suppressant and retardant, due to its intrinsic intumescent features. In our previous …

Devoting to coping with safety risk spreading with polymers, this work achieves dramatic
synergistic improvements in composite toughness, photothermal healing, and fire safety …

The use of polymer flame retardants has an important role in saving lives. The main flame
retardant systems for polymers currently in use are based on halogenated, phosphorous …

Fire retardancy of polymers may be due to the formation of a protective surface coating, ie a
swollen charred layer (intumescence). An intumescent coating resulting from thermal …

Covalently functionalized carbon nanotubes (CNTs) wrapped in intumescent flame retardant
were successfully fabricated and characterized. By adjusting the ratio of CNTs and flame …

The thermal degradation behaviour of a novel caged bicyclic phosphate (Trimer) and its
mixture with ammonium polyphosphate (APP) was studied by TG, FTIR and TG-FTIR. The …
