“…Such hybrid pigments, when applied to polymers, can act as multifunctional additives that modify different properties of the materials (transparency, mechanical properties or thermal stability). The modification of inorganic carriers inspired by the ancient Maya Blue pigment has been found to be a promising way of transforming soluble natural and synthetic dyes into insoluble organic-inorganic pigments [17,18,19,20,21,22]. Inorganic hosts, including aluminum hydroxide (Al(OH) 3 ), magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH) 2 ) or layered double hydroxides, are commonly used in technology, and represent a large group of halogen-free flame retardants for polymer materials [23,24,25].…”
