Flame Retardants in Modern Materials

This book offers an in-depth up-to-date exploration of flame retardant materials from technical health safety and environmental perspectives. It traces the evolution from traditional halogenated retardants to modern sustainable alternatives detailing mechanisms (thermal absorption barrier formation gas-phase inhibition char creation) material classes and regulatory trends.The volume examines both global and Indian innovations including bio-based nanomaterial-enhanced and phosphorus-nitrogen systems highlighting risks benefits testing standards and market dynamics. Balancing fire safety with environmental responsibility it presents vital guidance for researchers engineers and policymakers advancing safer sustainable fire protection technologies.
