Description
Summary:From an economic standpoint, compound flame retardants are the optimal solution for industrial flame-retardant material production. While flame retardant content is a critical parameter for system performance optimization, existing research has primarily focused on its impact on flame retardancy, with limited exploration of multi-property trade-offs. In addition, the effect of flame retardant content is more complex due to the flammability and aggregation characteristics of bamboo fibers, however, it is unclear how and to what extent it affects the properties. In this work, we systematically investigated the influence of flame retardant content on the physical, mechanical, flame retardancy, and smoke suppression properties of bamboo fiber composites (BFCs). Through detailed analysis of fracture morphology and combustion residues, this work elucidated the interactions among flame retardants, bamboo fibers, and resin matrices, thereby providing an in-depth analysis of the response relationship between flame retardant content and the combustion behavior of composites. Understanding the reasons behind these property changes will enable the further optimization of flame-retardant BFCs from a raw material perspective, ultimately meeting the stringent requirements of practical applications.
