Progression in Fire Retardant Properties of Polymer Composites – A Review

Abstract

Emerging new composite materials from existing materials is the actual challenge for the greater part of the material engineers. In this way, there are enormous inspections, attempts rising in the field of composites to compose new materials with the updated mechanical, electrical and thermal properties. The available articles dependent on the thermo-mechanical investigation of epoxy polymers and other polymer matrix composites with various fibre reinforcement methods are deficient and are less useful. Therefore, this survey focuses on the use of thermal investigation tests and parameters to contemplate thermal properties of (Glass Fibre Reinforced Epoxy Polymer Composites) GREP composites. This survey additionally refreshes the exploration that has been acted in the ongoing years on the frontage of thermal behaviour of advanced materials for various applications.

Micro Clay/Nano Clay Polymer Composite Flame Retardant Applications

“…Practically all textiles are flammable to some degree; words like flameresistant, fireproof and flameproof are often useless or misleading. The burning rate varies, from material to material [7].…”
