This research can be utilized to deposit polyelectrolyte-based flame-retardant coatings in a scalable and efficient manner. Other positive attributes of the technology include that it is aqueous ...
Flame retardants, on the other hand, are used in construction materials, wall cladding, curtains, furniture, electrical appliances and floor coverings to protect against fire.
Current studies developing flame retardant coatings deposited via polyelectrolyte complexation require two or more steps, increasing the time and cost to coat a material effectively. In contrast, this ...
Furthermore, submissions that explore the application of flame-retardant technologies in smart materials, including uses in fire sensors and fire-safe polymer electrolytes, are highly sought after. To ...
Besides Cal Fire, multiple agencies have dropped fire retardant and water, including the U.S. Forest Service, the Los Angeles and Ventura county fire departments, the city and the National Guard.
An eco-friendly flame retardant could give homeowners more time to escape fires and help diminish the ability of blazes to spread. Wildfires cost the United States $394 billion to $893 billion ...
Researchers tested 203 black plastic products, including kitchen utensils, hair accessories, and toys, to detect bromine, an indicator of brominated flame retardants. They found flame retardants ...
