Abstract

Bio-phenolic based hybrid composites are used in engineering applications due of their better specific stiffness, strength, environmental resistance and thermal insulation properties. However, these composites cannot match the flammability resistance requirements for the high performance applications. Hence, numerous studies have attempted to enhance their fire retardant properties without deteriorating the physico-mechanical properties. Different approaches have been investigated to enhance the fire-retardant properties, such as the blending of phenolic resin with other polymers, addition of fillers, intumescent fire retardant coatings and chemical modification of the fibres. This article briefly presents an overview of the fire-retardant properties of the polymers, fibres and composites and the corresponding tests and standards involved. Recent studies on the improvement of fire-retardant characteristics of bio-phenolic hybrid composites with fillers were discussed.
