“…In recent days, MCC has been extensively used for measuring the flame‐retardant properties of polymer based nanocomposites . Figure shows HRR plots for pristine sPS and its nanocomposites.…”
Highly dispersed polymer nanocomposites were prepared by solution blending method. The influence of surfactant free LDH particles on the crystallization behavior and flame retardant properties of syndiotactic polystyrene are investigated.

“…Other compounds, such as tris(1-chloro-2-propyl) phosphate, tris(2-chlorosthyl) phosphate and tretrekis(2-chloroethyl) dichloroisopentyldiphosphate have also been reported as FRs mainly used for upholstered furniture. Despite the fact that the halogenated phosphorous FRs were introduced as alternatives for the restricted halogenated FRs, it should be noted that some of these compounds have been reported to be toxic [33], since they are structurally similar to neurotoxic organophosphate pesticides [33,38]. ese substances could be released from the products through evaporation and abrasion; therefore, they have been found in indoor air, dust, streams and surface water [33].…”
This article reviews the environmental aspects of fl ame retardant (FR) use for polymeric materials. The most important groups of halogen, phosphorus-halogen, phosphorus, nitrogen-containing and mineral FRs, as well as of nanoparticle FRs are presented in relation to the health concerns and environmental risk. The main toxicological problems resulting from the use of halogenated and formaldehyde-containing FRs are discussed. Moreover, the possibility of mechanical and chemical recycling as well as energy recovery of recycled fl ame retarded polymeric materials from post-consumer waste are discussed.
“…Thus, the dispersion problem of layered double hydroxide nanolayers in PLA matrix was solved to some extent, and flame retardancy of PLA composites are improved. The total heat release value of the samples with 10 wt% modified layered double hydroxide decreases to 9.7 kJ/g from 12.0 kJ/g of virgin PLA . Even if the advantages of LDHs in flame‐retarding polymer materials have been presented, the LDHs have also some defects in the actual application, such as bad compatibility with polymers and low efficiency.…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
