The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Recent developments in the fire retardancy of polymeric materials (2013, background): “The mechanisms of conventional FRs based on halogen, phosphorous and intumescent compounds have been thoroughly discussed in the past [3, 7-20] and therefore, to avoid duplication, the topic will only be reviewed briefly herein.”
Can nanoparticles really enhance thermal stability of polymers? Part I: An overview on thermal decomposition of addition polymers (2011, background): “Recently, polymer nanocomposites emerged as one of the most promising developments in the area of flame retardancy, appearing to offer significant advantages over conventional formulations [9,10].”
Graphene-based flame retardants: a review (2016, background): “These non-flammable gases also decrease the concentration of oxygen around the fire, and they can act as gas phase barriers to enhance the flame retardant performance of polymer [98, 99].”
