Keratinous Natural Fibres as Sustainable Flame Retardants and Reinforcements in Polymer Composites

Avishek Mishra,
Nam Kyeun Kim,
Debes Bhattacharyya

Abstract: Natural fibres have been used as fibre reinforcements in composites as they offer eco-friendly and economic advantages, but their susceptibility to deterioration when exposed to heat and flames has limited their practical application in fibre-reinforced polymeric composites. Fire-reaction properties have been explored in reasonable detail for plant fibres, but a gap exists in the understanding of animal fibre-reinforced composites. Understanding the thermal and fire reactions of these keratin-rich animal fibre… Show more
