Non-halogenated Flame-Retardant Technology for Epoxy Resins, Thermosets and Composites

Provides a comprehensive and up-to-date review of the latest advances and technological developments in this field. The chapters cover important flame-retardant systems based on phosphorus, nitrogen, silicon, and boron as well as novel flame retardant epoxy nanocomposites such as graphene, graphitic carbon nitride, MoS2, phosphorene, CNTs, LDHs, and POSS.

The use of flame retardant epoxy thermosets and composites in varying applications are also covered, for example, in coatings and paints, in electric and electronic applications and in aviation and automotive sectors.

This comprehensive book will be an essential reference resource for academic and industrial researchers, as well as materials scientists and polymer engineers, and for those who are working in the development of flame retardant epoxy-based materials.
