What is Bioplastics and Biocomposites in Flame‐Retardant Applications about?

Excellent flame retardant properties are a requirement for materials used in public spaces. These materials should not be susceptible to burning when exposed to an open flame. Since biocomposites and bioplastics have poor flame retardant properties, various methods have been employed to enhance their flame retardancy. However, the most common method is the incorporation of flame retardant additives. Now, with the aim of achieving optimum properties, the flame retardant additives must be homogenously mixed with the biocomposites and bioplastics. Furthermore, with the aim of maintaining the ecologically benign nature of the biocomposites and bioplastics, recent novel research has moved from the usage of halogen-based flame retardant agents to Nanosized environmentally friendly flame retardant agents. The chapter is aimed at covering the latest literature on flame retardant bioplastics and biocomposite's fabrication and application.
