Development of Fire Retardant Polymer Nanocomposites

摘要

Polymeric materials are widely used in different house hold appliances,packaging,automotives,engineering applications,aerospace,interior decoration,etc.Due to their high flammability,in many of these applications there exists severe risk of fire related causalities and loss of valuable properties.Therefore,it is often needed to make these products more fire retardant by using suitable fire retardants in the original materials.In last decades,it had been recognized that the formation of nanocomposites can improve the fire retardant performance at relatively low filler loadings[1-3].
