Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on enhancing flame resistance in bio-based materials, specifically cellular structures used for thermal insulation.
- A one-pot method is developed to create lignocellulosic composites using a flame-retardant complex made of phytic acid (PA) and polyethyleneimine (PEI), improving their mechanical properties and reducing flammability.
- While the thermal insulation performance slightly decreases, the modified composites demonstrate significantly better mechanical characteristics and are suggested as environmentally friendly alternatives to conventional insulation materials in construction.
