Materials Chemistry

When dealing with challenges, such as providing fire protection while considering cost, mechanical,and thermal performance, and simultaneously addressing increasing regulations that deal withcomposition of matter and life cycle issues, there are no quick, one-size-fits-all answers. Packed withcomprehensive coverage, scientific approach, step-by-step directions, and a distillation of technicalknowledge, the first edition of Fire Retardancy of Polymeric Materials broke new ground. It supplied a one-stop resource for the development of new fire safe materials. In a more user-friendlyformat and more comprehensive in scope than its predecessor, this second edition has beenexpanded to echo the multidisciplinary approach inherent in current flame retardancy technology.

The book introduces flame retardants polymer-by-polymer, supplemented by a brief overview ofmode of action and interaction as well as all the other ancillary issues involved in this applied fieldof materials science. It delineates what, why, and how to do it, covering the fundamentals of polymerburning/combustion and how to apply these systems and chemistries to specific materials classes.Using a mix of how-to instructions and technical knowledge, the bookt also provides suggestedformulations, discusses why certain materials are preferred for particular uses or applications, andoffers a starting point from which to develop fire-safe materials.
