The huge increase in potential applications of polymer nanocomposites have made it necessary for researchers to address the fire safety issues of these materials.Flame Retardant Nanocomposites: Emergent Nanoparticles and their Applications covers the broad area of flame- retardant polymer nanocomposites, their preparation, fire retardant mechanisms and the various factors that affect them. The influence of various nanoparticles on their flammability is discussed in detail, as well as their structure, free radical trapping ability, char formation, and eventual barrier properties.The book will be a valuable reference resource for students, researchers and engineers covering this important field of research. The chapters discuss the effect of different nanoparticles, their dispersion, and effect of different polymer structures on fire retardant properties, as well as possible applications.
