Abstract | ||||
The increasing concern regarding hazardous fires related to polymeric materials has prompted numerous research into eco-friendly flame retardants. in recent years metal-organic Frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as promising flame-retardant materials, characterized by metal-containing units linked to organic linkers to create strong and porous crystalline frameworks. The organic ligands make MOFs possess significant surface area and adsorption properties desirable for different applications including flame retardancy. This paper gathers many of the recently published to discuss the use performance of polymer composites with MOFs for flame retardancy in comparison with polymeric composite materials without MOFs. Besides, a comparison based on mechanical, physical, and thermal properties shows the effect of MOF on the total effectiveness of the polymeric composite materials. This paper is of great interest to both the readers involved in the sphere of heat-resistance materials, encompassing contemporary advanced composite materials used for dampening hazardous fires. Furthermore, prospective trends, including the integration of innovative fillers such as MOFs in rubber composites such as NBR (Nitrile Butadiene Rubber), EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer), and silicone rubber, are deliberated upon. | ||||
