Über dieses Buch

Sustainable development has become a great concern in modern society. The authors of this brief describe how one strategy to reach this objective is to replace oil-based materials with bio-based materials. They emphasize the great efforts that have been made to synthesize new bio-based polymers or additives or to replace glass fibers by natural fibers in composites. Flame retardancy is one of the most desired properties for many applications in wires and cables, building, transport, electric and electronic devices. The authors of this fascinating and timely brief summarize this important field in three parts. The flame retardancy of biobased polymers, the flame retardancy of natural fibers composites, and the synthesis and efficiency of biobased flame retardants.

Chapter 1. Flame Retardant Biobased Polymers

Abstract

Environmental concerns arising from the limits to the waste management of plastics have entailed a strong development of biobased and biodegradable polymers for a wide range of applications. Tailoring new plastics and composites within a perspective of sustainable development aims to create an environmentally safe alternative to oil based polymer materials. Different categories of these polymers can be distinguished according to their complete or only partial renewable character as well as their ability to biodegrade.

Chapter 2. Biobased Flame Retardants

Abstract

A great part of commercially available flame retardants are oil-derived organic compounds (e.g. organo-halogenated, organo-phosphorous, organo-nitrogen compounds). As part of oil-based products, they face the same issues: growing scarcity of petroleum, geopolitical problems, impact on global warning. Moreover some of these compounds (i.e. the halogenated compounds) have received a bad press because there are suspected to provoke specific health and environment concerns.

Chapter 3. Flame Retardancy of Natural Fibers Reinforced Composites

Abstract

Due to numerous advantages (high specific mechanical properties, low density, biosourcing, …), natural fibers from plants are considered as credible alternatives to glass or carbon fibers for composites industry. Nevertheless, their relatively high flammability limits their potential applications. Many researches have been carried out to improve the flame retardancy of composites reinforced with natural fibers. This chapter attempts to establish the state-of-art of these researches.
