Synergistic effect of boron containing substances on flame retardancy and thermal stability of intumescent polypropylene composites

Flame retardation of cellulose-rich fabrics via a simplified layer-by-layer assembly

“…Consequently, massive efforts have been made to develop halogen-free flame retardant (Chen & Wang, 2010). Flame retardants, containing phosphorus, nitrogen, boron, silicon and other nanoparticles, have been explored to improve the fire resistance of fabrics (Abd El-Hady, Farouk, & Sharaf, 2013;Dogan, Yılmaz, & Bayramlı, 2010;El-Shafei, ElShemy, & Abou-Okeil, 2015;Farag et al, 2013;Haile, Fincher, Fomete, & Grunlan, 2015;Martín, Ronda, & Cádiz, 2006).…”

Influence of zinc borate on the flame retardancy and thermal stability of intumescent flame retardant polypropylene composites

“…To solve these problems, researchers have made great efforts to develop oligomeric or polymeric IFRs with relatively higher molecular weight and synergistic agent have been sued to enhance the flame retardancy of IFR [11][12][13][14]. The previous studies showed that some silicon-containing compounds, boron-containing compound, transitional metal oxides, 4A zeotile, metal compounds could serve as synergistic agents to increase the strength and stability of char layer to enhance the flame retardant performance of the composites [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23].…”

Evaluation of intumescent fire retardants and synergistic agents for use in wood flour/recycled polypropylene composites

“…Further, it can contribute to the enhanced formation of a glassy char at the surface of the polymer substrate condensed phase to protect the polymer from the combustion zone [31], and can catalyze char formation in intumescent systems [32]. Montmorillonite (MMT) can enhance both mechanical properties and fire retardancy [11,[33][34][35].…”
