As polypropylene (PP) has no charring ability on its own due to the lack of hydroxyl functional groups, flame retardant system needs addition carbonizing agent in a relatively great amount. Ammonium-polyphosphate (APP), conventional additive was modified by microencapsulation with sorbitol-based bioepoxy resin shell create an intumescent enhanced for PP. The efficiency microencapsulated additiv...

This study proposes an innovative solution to flame-retard a sandwich composite made of unsaturated polyester resin, glass fibre skins and nonwoven core material. The strategy uses the material as flame-retardant carrier, while resin is also flame-retarded with aluminum trihydroxide (ATH). A screening fire-retardant performances materials, covered different types phosphorous additives (phosphat...

Wood is a renewable material that has been widely utilized as indoor and outdoor construction decoration in our daily life. Although wood many advantages (i.e., light weight, high strength, low price easy machinability), it some drawbacks influence dimensional stability, cracking decay resistance real practical applications. To mitigate these issues, superhydrophobic surfaces have introduced to...

Wood modification is now widely recognized as offering enhanced properties of wood and overcoming issues such dimensional instability biodegradability which affect natural wood. Typical systems use chemical modification, impregnation or thermal these vary in the achieved. As control understanding has progressed, further opportunities have arisen to add extra functionalities modified These inclu...

Sustainable coating solutions that function as a fire retardant for wood are still challenging topic the academic and industrial sectors. In this study, composite coatings of casein protein mixed with mica aluminum trihydroxide (ATH) were tested retardants plywood; degradation retardancy performance assessed cone calorimeter, thermogravimeter was used thermal stability measurement. The results ...

• A multifunctional additive (PDPO) was successfully synthesized. PDPO enhanced the flame retardancy and crystallization rate of PLA. effectively exerted inhibitory effect in vapor phase. PLA/PDPO biocomposites maintained satisfying mechanical properties. In engineering application area, it has always been a challenge to simultaneously improve flame-retardant performance polylactic acid (PLA) b...
