Abstract

The primary strategies to improve the fire retardance of styrene‐based polymers are largely reliant on the use of halogenated fire retardants, which are considered as hazardous to the public health and environment. Hence, many halogen‐based fire retardants have already been withdrawn from the products used as construction elements in built environments. Amongst the possible halogen‐free alternatives, P‐ and N‐containing compounds have gained great attention owing to their excellent fire‐retarding efficiencies and environmentally benign attributes. The current paper is focused on the chemical modification of polystyrene with P‐ and N‐containing moieties, and the characterisation of the modified materials with regard to their thermal degradation characteristics and combustion attributes
