Nano materials as a flame retardant

Inexpensive nanoclays form 'nano-network' which spread out and dispersed through the host material forming a sort of gauze. The breakdown of material and the release of gas phase combustible molecules are slowed down or even prevented. Nano materials can be used as:

a) Nano polymer composites

b) Nanoparticles in traditional back-coatings

c) Deposition of nano coatings on the fabric substrates.

The DEROCA project (EU) studies the synergic effect of carbon nanotube (CNT) with phosphorus based flame retardants and other new additives in intumescent or carbon crust formation systems [10]. However, with any nanotechnology the potential for harm is associated with the size and shape of the particles [11].
