Theory of Flame Retardation of Polymeric Materials : Polymer Combustion and Mechanisms

Flame retardant materials are of vital importance in guaranteeing personal security. Especially the demand for non-toxic, low smoking, polymerized flame retardants increases and new materials enter the market. The authors present the fundamental theory of polymer combustion, compare different flame retardants, describe smoke suppression mechanisms, and explain analyzing techniques for new materials. * This book is addressed to readers, who want to learn about materials design and research strategies, production engineering, and product quality.
