Abstract
Further knowledge regarding flame-retardant materials suited for fire-resistant applications is necessary in order to meet safety requirements and minimize fire risks in polymers. The present work examines cellulose as a suitable material for polymer-based flame-retardant material, due to its attractiveness as an alternative to petroleum-based polymer feedstocks. The four main sections of the content structure include: synthesis and properties, examining types of cellulose and the mechanism of thermal degradation, applications, including commercial information on cellulose and polymers and flame retardancy, including the following key components: comprehensive summaries of fabrication methods and published data; discussion of key parameters; cellulose pyrolysis; the mechanisms for cellulose/polymer char formation. Providing guidance for the application of a new generation of flame-retardant materials, based on the conjugation of cellulose and fire-retardant polymers, is the overarching intent of this work.
