Fire Retardancy of Polymers

New Strategies and Mechanisms
Herausgeber: Hull, Terence Richard; Kandola, Baljinder K

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Globally, fire retardants are needed to satisfy a multibillion dollar market and fire retardancy of polymeric materials is an important component of fire safety. This book covers the latest developments in new fire retardant systems including nanoparticulate fillers, sometimes combined with conventional fire retardants; intumescent formulations and their recent applications in bulk polymers, fibres and textiles; test-methods for material flammability; material-specific aspects of combustion, smoke and toxicity. This book will update fire retardant materials' developers with the latest in research and design. It will also provide information for groups from environmentalists looking for alternatives to brominated flame retardants to engineers needing to use fire safe materials in their projects.

Autorenporträt

T Richard Hull is Professor of Chemistry and Fire Science at the University of Central Lancashire. His research focuses on fire retardancy and toxicity and he was involved in the development of the first ISO standard for assessment of fire gas toxicity. He has collaborated extensively with the main fire retardant groups across the globe. A recurrent theme in his work is the use of instrumental methods to understand fire behaviour. Baljinder K Kandola is Professor of Materials Fire Science at the University of Bolton, UK. Her career started with a PhD in chemistry and she has since worked on a range of multidisciplinary research projects involving chemistry, textiles, mechanical engineering and mathematics. Her interests are focused on fire retardancy of natural fibres, thermoplastic fibre-forming polymers and thermoset polymers. Her recent research includes burning and burning induced degradation of mechanical properties of fibre reinforced composites.
