The vulnerability against heat and fire for natural fibers presents a great challenge for their
replacement of traditional fiber reinforcements in composite materials. Natural fiber/polymer …

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

In this study, a fully bio-based coating was constructed by layer-by-layer deposition of
chitosan (CS) and ammonium phytate (AP), to obtain fire-safety and antibacterial cotton …

Polypropylene (PP), one of five general-purpose plastics, is widely used in many fields.
However, the intrinsic alkane structure of PP makes it relatively easy to burn, leading to …

Fire is a serious threat to people and the structures they build. There is a continuous
development of newer methods and materials to prevent its effects on them. Nowadays, a lot …

This work explores the feasibility of using graphene as an effective synergist for intumescent
flame retardant (IFR). The flammability test and fire behavior under different fire scenarios …

Surface feature of ammonium polyphosphate is modified by cation exchange reaction with
piperazine, and then reduced graphene oxide nanosheets are attached to the surface of …

We found in our previous study that ethylenediamine-or ethanolamine-modified ammonium
polyphosphates could be used alone as an intumescent flame retardant for polypropylene …

The effect of the blending amount of alginate fibres to cotton fibres on thermal stabilities,
surface micromorphologies, flame-retardant and combustion properties of prepared …

Chitosan was added to cotton fabrics coated with sodium phytate and 3-Aminopropyl
triethoxysilane (APTES) to further enhance the fire retardant property by the layer-by-layer …
