Carbon‐based Flame Retardants for Polymers: A Bottom‐up Review (Adv. Mater. 42/2024)

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Carbon-Based Flame Retardants How do flame retardants work at the atomistic scale? A heterogenous structure of a graphitic sheet being retarded against intense heat is depicted, which leads to the carbonisation of carbon-based flame retardants at elevated temperatures. Article number 2403835 by Guan Heng Yeoh and co-workers outlines the state-of-art review towards the molecular understanding of carbon-based flame-retardant mechanisms for polymers via detailed analytical assessments and computational material science.
