In recent years, advanced nanocomposite materials have been widely used in a large number of commercially valuable industrial applications such as in automobile, marine coatings, aerospace, and construction industries. The nanocomposites are made up of organic polymers and inorganic nanomaterials using different processing techniques. For example, metal, metal oxide, and carbon-based nanomateri...

Flame-retardant polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) membranes with high transparency and flexibility were prepared by mixing an aqueous solution of a phosphorus-containing acrylic acid (AOPA) with PVA. The reaction between AOPA and PVA, the transparency, the crystallinity and the flexibility of the membrane were investigated with Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR), UV-vis light transmittance, X...

Carbon-based polymer can catch fire when used as cathode material in batteries and supercapacitors, due to short circuiting. Polyimide is known exhibit flame retardancy by forming char layer condensed phase. The high yield of polyimide attributed its aromatic nature the existence a donor–acceptor complex backbone. Fabrication hybrid provide better protection against based on multiple fire-retar...

• Two low-cost hollow silica nanoparticle synthesis routes. Scalable, general production of soft ceramics by high-shear mechanical mixing. An effective – fiberglass crosslinked network for thermal insulation. Ultralow conductivity 0.023 W -1 m K with robust flexibility. Hollow-structured materials show promise in insulation because the shells encapsulating gaseous voids can interrupt heat trans...

Biodegradable textiles made from cellulose, the most abundant biopolymer, have gained attention researchers, due to ease with which cellulose can be chemically modified introduce multifunctional groups, and because of its renewable biodegradable nature. One attractive features required for civilian military applications is flame-retardancy. This review focuses on various methods employed fabric...

Few would now deny that the use of organobromine compounds to achieve fire retardancy in a diverse array of products and materials has led to contamination of the ecosphere on a widespread scale. This environmental prevalence and persistence of the brominated flame retardants, coupled with growing evidence of their potential for harm, present all too familiar parallels with the previous generat...

The nanocomposites of ethylene octene copolymer (Engage ) with an organically modified (dimethyldioctadecyl quaternary ammonium chloride) montmorillonite (M-MMT) clay were synthesized by using a solution intercalation technique. The intercalation of M-MMT layers for M-MMT loading of 2.5–7.5% was verified by the shift of X-ray diffraction peak to a lower angle, showing change in basal d-spacing ...

Under high temperature, aqueous film forming foam extinguishing agent has poor flame retardancy and low fire efficiency. In order to solve this problem, talc was introduced into form composite foam. The resistance properties of the were studied. results showed that had good retardant resistance. when concentration reached 40 g/100 ml, 50% liquid separation time 21.1 min. fuel burning in anti ta...
