title = "Fire retardancy of polymer nanocomposites",
abstract = "Polymer/clay nanocomposites, despite their considerable flame retardancy performance (delayed burning and reduced heat release and mass loss rates), are unable to satisfy the requirements of existing fire safety standards. Here, we briefly discuss our current and recent research efforts to understand the reasons underlying this problem and develop eco-friendly and superior flame retardant polymer nanocomposites.",
