Nanoparticles as Effective Flame Retardants for Natural and Synthetic Textile Polymers: Application, Mechanism, and Optimization

Graphene-based flame retardants: a review

“…Nanomaterials, like nanoscale graphene, exhibit a high aspect ratio and can effectively reinforce polymers even at low loading levels. Moreover, inorganic nanomaterials can act as barriers to improve the thermal stability of polymeric composites, broadening the application scope of polymers [102,103]. Because inorganic nanomaterials are commonly believed to be eco-friendly, developing inorganicnanomaterials-doped-composite flame retardants is of particular significance.…”

Estimation of material and interfacial/interphase properties in clay/polymer nanocomposites by yield strength data

“…The interest in clay/polymer nanocomposites (CPN) has been grown in both industry and academy, due to the high potentials that they show by improved physical, chemical, thermal and mechanical properties (Adame and Beall, 2009;Zare et al, 2011;Zare and Garmabi, 2012b;Zare, 2015d;Fernández et al, 2013;Huskić et al, 2013;Zare, 2013;Norouzi et al, 2015). The well exfoliated clay in polymer matrix establishes significant improvement in modulus, stiffness, thermal stability, barrier properties and flame retardation (Kalbasi et al, 2012;Mallakpour and Dinari, 2013;Hajibeygi et al, 2015).…”

A simple technique for determination of interphase properties in polymer nanocomposites reinforced with spherical nanoparticles

“…The inclusion of nanoparticles is much desired because the high content of micro-sized particles considerably affects some important properties of the polymer matrix such as processability, appearance, weight and aging. Therefore, many benefits of polymer nanocomposites such as improved mechanical, thermal, barrier and flame properties justify the much work performed in this area [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10].…”
