Abstract
In this study, we explored the rational integration of layered double hydroxides (LDHs) with reduced graphene oxide (rGO) to create a hierarchical nano/microarray structured CuMgAl-LDH/rGO hybrid aimed at enhancing the flame retardancy and smoke suppression properties of polymer nanocomposites. The results indicated that the limiting oxygen index (LOI) value of the G-CuMgAl/polyvinyl chloride (PVC) composite reached 35.8%, reflecting a 6.4% increase compared to pristine PVC (29.4%), and achieved a UL-94 V-0 rating. Furthermore, in comparison to pristine PVC, the peak heat release rate (PHRR) of the G-CuMgAl/PVC composite was significantly reduced by 40.2%; the total heat release rate (THR) decreased by 24.3%; the maximum average heat release rate (MARHE) diminished by 41.6%; the peak smoke production (PSPR) decreased by 37.8%; the total smoke production (TSP) was reduced by 31.3%; and the average effective heat of combustion (av-EHC) decreased by 15.2%. The enhanced flame retardancy and reduced smoke production can primarily be attributed to the multiple synergistic interactions among the highly dispersed constituents and the nano/microstructures, which effectively impede the transfer of heat, mass, and O2 from various directions while preventing further combustion of the underlying matrix by creating a tortuous path in the condensed phase. Additionally, this study provides a novel perspective on the design and synthesis of structured LDHs/rGO hybrids, with the potential to enhance flame retardancy and smoke suppression properties across a broad spectrum of polymer materials.

Abstract
The amplified employment of rigid polyurethane foam (RPUF) has accentuated the importance of its flame-retardant properties in stimulating demand. Thus, a compelling research report is essential to scrutinize the recent progression in the field of the flame retardancy and smoke toxicity reduction of RPUF. This comprehensive analysis delves into the conventional and innovative trends in flame-retardant (FR) systems, comprising reactive-type FRs, additive-type FRs, inorganic nanoparticles, and protective coatings for flame resistance, and summarizes their impacts on the thermal stability, mechanical properties, and smoke toxicity suppression of the resultant foams. Nevertheless, there are still several challenges that require attention, such as the migration of additives, the insufficient interfacial compatibility between flame-retardant polyols or flame retardants and the RPUF matrix, and the complexity of achieving both flame retardancy and mechanical properties simultaneously. Moreover, future research should focus on utilizing functionalized precursors and developing biodegradable RPUF to promote sustainability and to expand the applications of polyurethane foam.

Abstract
The use of polymer materials is inextricably linked to our manufacturing life. However, most of them are easily combusted in the air and the combustion process generates a large amount of toxic fumes and dangerous smoke. This can result in injuries and property damage, as well as limiting their use. It is essential to enhance the flame-retardant properties and smoke suppression performance by using multiple flame retardants. Metal-based flame retardants have a unique chemical composition. They are environmentally friendly flame retardants, which can impart good smoke suppression, flame retardancy to polymers and further reduce the production of toxic gases. The differences in the compounds formed between the transition metals and the main group metals make them act differently as flame retardants for polymers. As a result, this study presents the research progress and flame-retardant mechanism of flame-retardant polymers for flame retardants from different groups of metals in the periodic table of elements in a systematic manner. In view of the differences between the main group metals and transition metals, the mechanism of their application in flame retardant polymer materials is carefully detailed, as are their distinct advantages and disadvantages. And ultimately, prospects for the development of transition metals and main group metals are outlined. It is hoped that this paper will provide valuable references and insights for scholars in the field.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 453:131406.

Abstract
Due to the wide applications of polyurethane (PU), production is constantly increasing, accounting for 8% of produced plastics. PU has been regarded as the 6th most used polymer in the world. Improper disposal of waste PU will result in serious environmental consequences. The pyrolysis of polymers is one of the most commonly used disposal methods, but PU pyrolysis easily produces toxic and harmful nitrogen-containing substances due to its high nitrogen content. This paper reviews the decomposition pathways, kinetic characteristics, and migration of N-element by product distribution during PU pyrolysis. PU ester bonds break to produce isocyanates and alcohols or decarboxylate to produce primary amines, which are then further decomposed to MDI, MAI, and MDA. The nitrogenous products, including NH3, HCN, and benzene derivatives, are released by the breakage of C-C and C-N bonds. The N-element migration mechanism is concluded. Meanwhile, this paper reviews the removal of gaseous pollution from PU pyrolysis and discusses the removal mechanism in depth. Among the catalysts for pollutant removal, CaO has the most superior catalytic performance and can convert fuel-N to N2 by adsorption and dehydrogenation reactions. At the end of the review, new challenges for the utilization and high-quality recycling of PU are presented.

Abstract
A novel and eco-friendly intumescent flame-retardant system based on sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) was established for wide-used flexible polyurethane foams (FPUFs). FPUF-(APP6CMC1)GN1 with extremely uniform coatings extinguished and reached the UL-94 V-0 rating, and presented an improvement of thermal insulation properties. Moreover, there was a 58 % reduction in peak heat release rate for FPUF-(APP6CMC1)GN1 compared with that of FPUF, and the microstructure analysis of char residues indicated that a perfect intumescent char layer had formed on the surface of FPUFs. Especially, CMC and GN enhanced the compactness and stability of char layers. Therefore, little volatile production was generated under the protection of physical layers in the high temperature as evaluated during the thermal degradation processes. Meanwhile, the flame-retardant FPUFs remained the ideal mechanical properties and obtained excellent antibacterial properties, and the antibacterial rates of E.coli and S.aureus were 99.9 % (FPUF-(APP6CMC1)GN1). This work provides an eco-friendlier strategy for the design of multi-function FPUFs.

Abstract
Due to the inherent defect of flammability of polypropylene (PP), a novel and highly efficient carbon microspheres@layered double hydroxides@copper lignosulfonate (CMSs@LDHs@CLS) flame retardant was designed and prepared, which was attributed to the strong electrostatic interaction between carbon microspheres (CMSs), layered double hydroxides (LDHs) and lignosulfonate as well as the chelation effect of lignosulfonate on copper ions, and then it was incorporated into the PP matrix. Significantly, CMSs@LDHs@CLS not only observably improved its dispersibility in PP matrix, but also simultaneously achieved excellent flame retardant properties for composites. With the addition of 20.0 % CMSs@LDHs@CLS, the limit oxygen index of CMSs@LDHs@CLS and PP composites (PP/CMSs@LDHs@CLS) reached 29.3 % and achieved the UL-94 V-0 rating. Cone calorimeter tests indicated that the peak heat release rate, total heat release and total smoke production of PP/CMSs@LDHs@CLS composites exhibited declines of 28.8 %, 29.2 % and 11.5 %, respectively, compared with those of PP/CMSs@LDHs composites. These advancements were attributed to the better dispersibility of CMSs@LDHs@CLS in PP matrix and illustrated that CMSs@LDHs@CLS observably reduced fire hazards of PP. The flame retardant property of CMSs@LDHs@CLS might relate to condensed phase flame retardant effect of char layer and catalytic charring of copper oxides.

Abstract
Flexible polyurethane foam (FPUF) is widely used in our life, but it is inherent flammable. The demand for environmental-friendly multi-functional FPUF has been increasing rapidly in the last decade. In this work, a novel bio-based flame retardant coating was constructed by chemically reacting sodium alginate (OSA) and polydopamine (PDA) on the FPUF, followed by depositing nanorod-like β-FeOOH molecules through complexation reaction to form a biomimetic structure. The limiting oxygen index of the coated FPUF samples reached 25.5%. The peak heat release rate was reduced by 45.0%, and the smoke density of the coated sample was decreased by 69.1% compared to that of the control FPUF sample. It was proposed that the OSA-PDA-β-FeOOH decomposed during combustion to promote the formation of compact crosslinked char and released inert gases to dilute the combustible gases, and the β-FeOOH transferred to Fe2O3 to settled the smoke particles reducing the smoke release. Furthermore, the coating with shark skin like structure endowed FPUF antibacterial ability because of its good superoleophobicity underwater. This work provided a novel strategy to construct a biomimetic multifunctional coating on the FPUF.

Abstract
With the high integration of electronic products in our daily life, high-performance epoxy resins (EP) with excellent flame retardancy, smoke suppression, and mechanical strength are highly desired for applications. In this study, copper organophosphate nanosheets were evenly grown on the surface of graphene oxide (GO) via a self-assembly process based on coordination bonding and electrostatic interactions. The resultant nanohybrid endowed EP with satisfactory flame retardant effect and improved mechanical properties. Incorporating functionalized nanosheets of merely 1 wt% loading, the impact strength of the EP nanocomposites improved by 147% when compared to 1% EP-GO. Additionally, the nanosheets inhibited the smoke and heat release of EP, and the limiting oxygen value of EP-EGOPC reached ∼29%. The mechanism analysis verified that the existence of organophosphate and copper-containing components associated with the physical barrier of GO promoted the hybrid aromatization of the char layer, thereby improving the fire safety of epoxy matrix. This research offers a new interfacial method for designing functional nanosheets with good interface compatibility and high flame-retardant efficiency in polymers.

Abstract
The flammability of the biodegradable plastic PLA limits its application in industrial fields with high flame-retardant requirements. This paper provides a novel strategy for constructing refractory and thermostable PLA composites using layered double hydroxides (LDHs) chemically modified with ammonium polyphosphate (APP). XRD, FT-IR, SEM-EDS, and TEM confirm that the goal of LDHs has been successfully prepared. The thermal stability and combustion behavior of PLA composites were evaluated by the thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and cone calorimetry tests (CCT). The crystallization behavior and tensile performances were also examined. The results showed that the incorporation of 15 wt% MgAlY-APP-LDHs practically makes the PLA composites reach the UL-94 V-0 grade. There were 43% and 20% reduction in the PHRR and THR of PLA/15APP-LDHs respectively due to the catalytic effect of Y elements and barrier effects of LDHs, which was a major performance against fire hazards. Furthermore, the increase in crystallinity and the decrease in mechanical strength of PLA composites are attributed to the nucleation of LDHs. In short, this research introduces the production of multifunctional PLA composites through APP intercalation of LDHs, which are deemed as prospective candidates for the next generation of sustainable plastics products.
