Fire retardants were introduced to prevent these fires, but traditional treatments are harmful to human health and persistent in the environment. Green Fire Retardants for Polymeric Materials explores alternative materials and treatments for improving fire retardancy while considering environmental impact and sustainability. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 448 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 06 December 2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Royal Society of Chemistry\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePolymers, the materials we encounter in our daily lives, often exhibit a flammable nature. In the past, a significant number of home fires were attributed to the ignition of polymeric materials. To address this issue, legislation was introduced mandating the inclusion of fire retardants in these materials. Fire retardants play a crucial role in delaying the ignition of materials, thereby granting valuable time for fire prevention or escape. However, it has become evident that many of the traditional fire retardant treatments used are detrimental to human health and persistently harmful to the environment. As the use of polymeric materials continues to expand in our homes and daily lives, the need for effective fire retardants remains paramount. Nonetheless, it is essential to consider the environmental impact and sustainability of these treatments.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGreen Fire Retardants for Polymeric Materials delves into the selection of different materials and treatments for enhancing the fire retardancy of polymeric materials. It also explores green approaches to synthesizing these fire retardants. This timely resource serves as a valuable resource for green chemists interested in applying their work in real-world applications and polymer scientists seeking to increase the sustainability of their products and processes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 848g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 x 27 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781839167201\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44899606888698,"sku":"9781839167201","price":170.41,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1702662873028_book.jpg?v=1702816696","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/green-fire-retardants-for-polymeric-materials-9781839167201","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
