Abstract
Furan-based flame-retardant polymeric materials have drawn growing interest from more and more scholars, stemming from three basic factors, that is, biological sustainability, varying modifiability, and good char-forming ability. This chapter provides an overview of the origins of furan monomers and their furan derivatives. What is more, it also presents three kinds of furan-based flame retardants for polymeric materials, namely, halogen- and phosphorus-free furan-based flame retardants, phosphorus-containing furan-based flame retardants, and inorganic furan-based flame retardants. Furan-based flame-retardant polymeric materials could achieve excellent flame-retardant properties by combing with other factors, namely, electron-withdrawing bridge groups, other monomers with high-charring ability, phosphorus modification, and uniformly dispersed inorganic particles. However, the flame-retardant properties of fully furan-based resins are usually limited.
