An Overview of Mode of Action and Analytical Methods for Evaluation of Gas Phase Activities of Flame Retardants (2015, background): “The activities of flame retardant additives in the gas phase involve interference with the combustion processes, resulting in the reduction in the flame propagation and the amount of heat returned to materials [10,25].”
Flame Retardants in Commercial Use or Development for Textiles (2008, background): “A detailed discussion of mode of action is outside the scope of this review and the reader is referred to the chapters published by the authors in [14,15].”
Recent developments in the fire retardancy of polymeric materials (2013, background): “These products are superheated, nucleate and form bubbles in the melt as the degradation temperature of the polymer is much higher than the boiling temperature of the monomer [2, 157].”
