Polymer/layered silicate (clay) nanocomposites: An overview of flame retardancy (2010, unknown): “Char formation during polymer degradation is generally a complex process involving several steps which include conjugated double bond formation, cyclization, aromatization, fusion of aromatic rings, turbostratic char construction and graphitisation [68].”
Material properties of nanoclay PVC composites (2009, background): “The cleavage of a C–Cl bond will lead to the formation of HCl which will serve as the fire retardant [29].”
An overview of flame retardancy of polymeric materials: application, technology, and future directions (2013, background): “They can vary widely in chemical structure, from aliphatic to aromatic carbon substrates that have been per-halogenated (all hydrogen replaced with halogen) or can come in inorganic forms, but it is the organohalogen compounds that find the most effectiveness as flame retardant additives for polymer”
New prospects in flame retardant polymer materials: From fundamentals to nanocomposites (2009, background): “It should be mentioned that the flame retardancy of silicones has been reviewed by Kashiwagi and Gilman [64].”
