Abstract

Abstract:

In this paper, starting from the flame retardant composite materials of different polymer substrates, the application and mechanism of graphene in different kinds of polymer flame retardant materials are introduced in detail including graphene/polyethylene, graphene/polypropylene, graphene/polystyrene, graphene/epoxy resin, graphene/polyurethane, graphene/polyvinyl alcohol and graphene/other polymer composite flame retardant materials. The effect of graphene-based materials is also introduced in detail. This review provides a good theoretical support for the development of novel graphene-based/polymer composite flame retardant materials.

Key words: graphene, polymer, flame retardant, nanomaterials
