Fabrication and Characterization of Flame Retardant Nanocellulose-Based Materials

High thermal conductivity and flame resistance in nanocellulose-based composites provide a double benefit of efficient heat dissipation and decreased fire risks in a variety of materials. Future generations could benefit greatly from the development of adaptable, ecologically friendly fire retardant technologies because to this dual capability. Recently, nanocellulose has attracted a lot of interest and use, largely because of its high aspect ratio, large specific surface area, adaptable modifiability, strong mechanical strength, renewable nature, and biodegradability. These qualities make nanocellulose an excellent starting point for creating fire-resistant materials. This chapter explores the characteristics of materials made of nanocellulose-based materials as well as their prospective uses in a variety of fields. It includes a discussion of the difficulties involved in developing flame retardant properties in nanocellulose-based and provides an overview of research projects aimed at advancing flame retardant nanocellulose-based materials solutions. The techniques used to create nanocellulose-based materials are highlighted, covering their preparation processes, distinctive properties, and the variables that affect them. Additionally, this work illuminates the variety of uses for flame retardant nanocellulose-based in a wide range of industrial applications.
