INTRODUCTION
Polypropylene (PP) is a widely used thermoplastic material in many aspects because of its easy processing property, low density, excellent mechanical properties, and so forth (l). However, one deadly drawback of PP is its inherent flammability, with a limited oxygen index (LOI) of 17.4, which limits its application in some fields required for high flame retardancy.
Intumescent technology has found a place in polymer science as a promising method of conferring flame retardancy on polymers (2). The mostly reported intumescent flame retardants (IFRs) are the phosphorous-nitrogen containing compounds, which are considered as the promising ...
