Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 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. …

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The use of polymers is restricted by their flammability - they may indeed initiate or propagate fire. Fire Retardancy of Polymers focuses on mineral additives from either micro- or nano-composites for application in fire retardants. With the use of fire retardant additives containing halogen or phosphorus compounds in decline, the need for other systems is evident. The major materials that are used are alumina trihydrate or magnesium hydroxide which account for more than 50% by weight of the world-wide sales of fire retardants. Recent works have shown that such halogen-free compounds may give enhanced fire retardancy to polymeric materials when used in low levels, alone, or in synergistic mixtures. The corresponding fire performance depends on the dispersion of the mineral filler, with micrometer-scale dispersion leading to the best performances. Specialists discuss these new applications of mineral fillers with particular emphasis on action mechanisms, new materials including textiles, toxicology and hazards. With extensive references, this book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date view of these applications. This book will appeal to professionals, materials scientists and engineers looking for novel ways to eliminate fire hazards and improve flame retardancy of materials, with a special interest in sustainable development.…
