Flame Retardant Selection for Polymers provides readers with step-by-step guidance on how to select and apply flame retardants for polymers. Written by experts in the field of flame retardancy worldwide, this book seeks to consider the types of polymers and their applications in different sectors, providing in-depth information about the beneficial aspects of choosing each sort of flame retardant and supporting readers in selection of the best flame retardant additives. Regional and global features of flame retardant development and legislations as well as future perspective from circularity viewpoint are also covered.
This book is a practical guide and valuable resource to researchers and industrial professionals interested in fundamental principles of flame retardant selection for polymers, as well as the basic needs for processing and commercialization of flame retardant polymers.
