Series: Woodhead Publishing Series in Composites Science and Engineering

Flame Retardant Nanocomposites: Emergent Nanoparticles and their Applications covers the broad area of flame retardant polymer nanocomposites, their preparation, fire retardant mechanisms, and the various factors that affect them. The influence of various nanoparticles on their flammability is discussed in detail, as well as their structure, free radical trapping ability, char formation, and eventual barrier properties. This book will be a valuable reference resource for students, researchers, and engineers covering this important field of research. Chapters discuss the effect of different nanoparticles, their dispersion, and the effect of different polymer structures on fire retardant properties, along with possible applications.

Dr. Thomas is the Vice-Chancellor and a Professor of Polymer Science and Engineering at Mahatma Gandhi University, India. Additionally, he serves as the Director of the School of Energy Materials at the same institution. Dr. Thomas is internationally recognized for his contributions to polymer science and engineering, covering polymer nanocomposites, elastomers, polymer blends, interpenetrating polymer networks, polymer membranes, green composites, nanocomposites, nanomedicine, and green nanotechnology. His groundbreaking inventions in polymer nanocomposites, polymer blends, green bionanotechnological, and nano-biomedical sciences have significantly contributed to the development of new materials in the automotive, space, housing, and biomedical fields. Dr. Thomas has been conferred with Honoris Causa (DSc) by the University of South Brittany, Lorient, France. Dr Henri Vahabi received his PhD in Materials Science from the University of Montpellier, France, in 2011, and is currently working as an Associate Professor at the University of Lorraine, France. His research is focused on thermal degradation, flame retardancy of thermoset and thermoplastics, and development of new flame-retardant systems. He is a committee member of the “Fire group of the Chemical Society of France. Dr. Lakshmipriya Somasekharan got her PhD from IIUCNN, Mahatma Gandhi University with a UGC-JRF fellowship. Her interest is in the preparation and characterisation of polymer nanocomposites, with a research focus on POSS natural rubber nanocomposites, synthesis of POSS nanoparticles and its hybrids with other nanofillers, and preparation and characterisation of nanocomposites with elastomers.
