Features: This book systematically and comprehensively discusses the mechanisms of flame retardancy, the properties, synthesis (manufacturing), and applications of various flame retardants, the determination of physicochemical parameters of flame retardants, the qualitative identification and quantitative determination of non-metallic flame retardant elements in flame retardants, and modern instrumental analytical methods used for flame retardants. The book not only discusses flame retardants that are currently industrially produced but also includes newly developed flame retardants that have shown promising application prospects in recent years. It reflects the achievements of new phosphorus-based flame retardants, intumescent phosphorus-nitrogen flame retardants, and silicon-based flame retardants in the past decade or so, many of which are the research results of the authors and their Ph.D. students. The book compiles specific laboratory synthesis conditions (some also include industrial production processes) of hundreds of flame retardants, as well as hundreds of formulation examples and comprehensive performance data of flame-retardant materials. It also gathers a large number of infrared spectra, proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectra, and thermogravimetric analysis curves of flame retardants. The content of this book is novel, reliable, and practical. It is intended for engineering technicians engaged in the research, production, and application of flame retardants and flame-retardant materials, as well as for postgraduate students and senior undergraduate students in relevant disciplines at universities as teaching materials and reference books.
