SUSTAINABLE FLAME RETARDANT NANOCOMPOSITES

摘要

This paper examines the current state of research into sustainable flame retardants with the work onnanocomposites highlighted. The motivations to move away from halogen-based flame retardants are discussedand a number of life-cycle-assessments are mentioned which set the stage for a similar LCA study ofnanocomposite flame retardant products. Additives, such as hydrotalcite and cellulose nanofibrils, areproposed as components of potential future sustainable flame retardant nanocomposites.
