Features: This book is a comprehensive monograph on flame-retardant styrenic plastics. It consists of 11 chapters. Chapter 1 elaborates on the necessity of using flame-retardant materials and their contribution to reducing fire hazards. Chapters 2 and 3 discuss the production and properties of PS, HIPS, and ABS, with a focus on the relationship between performance and structure. Chapter 4 introduces commonly used flame retardants for styrenic plastics and composite flame-retardant systems. Chapters 5 to 9 discuss the principles, formulations, preparation, and properties of various flame-retardant styrenic plastics, including halogen-free flame-retardant products, char-forming flame retardants, and nanocomposites that have emerged in recent years. Chapter 10 briefly describes modern instrumental methods for analyzing flame-retardant plastics. Chapter 11 summarizes various standard methods for measuring the flame-retardant properties of plastics both domestically and internationally. The book extensively summarizes many valuable research achievements and practical experiences from the author's institution, reflecting the most up-to-date literature from 1996 to 2002. The content is novel, systematic, practical, and reliable. This book is suitable for engineering technicians engaged in the research, production, and application of flame-retardant styrenic plastics and other flame-retardant polymers, as well as serving as a teaching reference for graduate students and senior undergraduate students in relevant fields at universities.
