Abstract
The primary strategies to improve the fire retardance of commercially important styrene-based polymers are largely reliant on halogenated fire retardants. Currently, these compounds are considered to be hazardous to public health. As a result, many halogen-based fire retardants have been withdrawn, especially, from their use in products that form construction elements in built environments. Among the possible halogen-free options, P- and N-containing compounds have gained great attention owing to their excellent fire-retarding efficiencies and environmentally-friendly attributes. Therefore, the current paper is focused on the modification of polystyrene with P-/N-containing moieties, and characterisation of the modified materials with regards to their thermal degradation and combustion attributes.
