Abstract: | This paper provides an insight into some developments in flame retardants for different polymeric materials in China, primarily based on the publications that have appeared in the last 15 years. It focuses on the following aspects: halogen‐containing flame retardants, inorganic flame retardants (e.g. metal oxides and hydroxides, silicon‐containing materials, ammonium polyphosphate, red phosphorus, and expandable graphite), and organic flame retardants (e.g. aliphatic and aromatic phosphonates, nitrogen‐containing organics, and multi‐element organics). The inherently flame‐retardant polymer systems are also reviewed. The exploration of the novel flame retardants and flame‐retardant systems provides a powerful basis for the construction of flame‐retardant technologies and industrial applications in China.
