Description

Presents approaches to increasing the effectiveness of flame retardancy in polymers. Discusses non-halogen flame retardants, including phosphorus, metals, and metal compounds. Describes the use of char forming materials and the effects of surface changes on flammability. Provides a discussion on the state-of-the-art of smoke and toxicity issues. Reviews the latest tools and models for fire performance assessment. Examines regulation, corrosivity, recycling, environmental questions, and real scale performance assessment issues in the U.S. and Europe.
