Effective Approach to Overcome the Problem of Thermal Degradability in Natural Fiber-reinforced Composites is Flame Retardants: A Review

Abstract

Natural fiber reinforced composites have wide variety of applications due to its large advantageous properties like high specific strength & stiffness, low cost, low density, and non abrasive nature. To employ NFRC material in various sectors like transportation, construction, and industrial field, thermal stability is the key requirement. To enhance the thermal stability of natural fiber reinforced composite, flame retardants is become effective solution. The objective of this review paper is to deals with various flame retardants system which help to protect the material against flammability and thermal degradability.
