Nano-delivered PIN FRs can form nanocomposites for enhanced performance and fire safety in modern materials. This book presents a range of “emerging” nanocomposite FR solutions, including bio-based nano-materials, graphenes, minerals and metal compounds, metal-organic frameworks (MOF) and polyhedral oligomeric silesquioxanes (POSS). Different modes of action including gas phase, char formation and surface protective barrier are discussed. Applications presented include textiles, transportation, electronics, construction. Environmental assessment methods are proposed.
