The growing environmental awareness and natural resources scarcity various fully biodegradable polymer systems development and utilization initiates poly lactic acid (PLA) and copolymers biodegradable polymer, extensive attention as they biodegradability, numerous renewable sources, and excellent mechanical and thermal properties like advantages other polyester resins like PLA inherent chemical composition and molecular structures due to very poor fire resistance the aviation and electrical industry PLAs widespread use low thermal resistance, combustion and drip hampered flame retardant modification essential Combustion-type flame retardants polymer by physical means incorporated materials production convenient industry widely in used. Flame retardants certain chemical compounds polymers paralytic reactions slow or inhibit or combustion oxidative reactions They mainly halogen, phosphorus and metal hydroxides containing compounds Halogen flame retardant drawbacks metal components highlight ability combustion during hydrogen formed toxicity and some governments or organizations halogen controlled flame retardants use restrict proposed halogen-free flame-retardant additives indomethacin flame retardant (IFR) considerable attention and polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE) such as polymers used their low smoke, no toxicity, and halogen absence benefits. and corrosive gas production In general an IFR system three basic components char-forming agent carbonization catalyst, and a blowing agent combustion during IFR multi-cellular structure combustible layer a physical that acts barrier gas and compressed between heat and mass transfer reducing reducing the burning melt in thermoplastic flame-retardant conversion is a particular problem. Drops melting burning surface area increase fire intensity increase faster fire spread viscosity Melting coal formation strong impact PLA, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and poly butylenes succinct (PBS) like Linear polymers branched or thermo set polymers compared low melt viscosity burning test during serious melt dripping layered silicates thermal stability improve reduce filler concentration flammability low investigations found.

INVESTIGATIGATIONS ON RHELOGICAL PROPERTIES OF POLYMER-CERAMIC FIRE RETARDANT COMPOSITES

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RESEARCH IN AERONAUTICAL AND MECHANICAL ENGINEERING, 2017

In the present work an attempt is made to develop fire retardant polymer material using the polymer nano composites. Fire retardant minimizes the risk of fire starting and if once started of spreading. Fire retardants exhibit an excellent property of reducing the spreading of fire, in turn reduces the fire hazards and are proven to save lives and protect property and are therefore an essential part of fire protection. Polymers and plastics are highly prone to fire and catch fire easily and continue to burn if fire retardants are not used. The safe application of plastics in our modern society would not be feasible without the use of flame retardants. The "side effects" of the fire retardants have to be taken into account in a balanced manner. This paper attempts to evaluate the reheological and DSC properties of fire retardant polymers.
