Expanded Properties and Applications of Porous Flame-Retardant Polymers Containing Graphene and Its Derivatives

Abstract

With the integration and miniaturization of modern equipment and devices, porous polymers, containing graphene and its derivatives, with flame-retardancy have become a research hotspot. In this paper, the expanded properties and high-end applications of flame-retardant porous materials containing graphene and its derivatives were discussed. The research progress regarding graphene-based porous materials with multiple energy conversion, thermal insulation, an electromagnetic shielding property, and a high adsorption capacity were elucidated in detail. The potential applications of materials with the above-mentioned properties in firefighter clothing, fire alarm sensors, flexible electronic skin, solar energy storage, energy-saving buildings, stealth materials, and separation were summarized. The construction strategies, preparation methods, comprehensive properties, and functionalization mechanisms of these materials were analyzed. The main challenges and prospects of flame-retardant porous materials containing graphene and its derivatives with expanded properties were also proposed.
