Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The application of high-performance coating materials is crucial in sectors such as aerospace, electronics, construction, and transportation due to their superior attributes. However, their flammability significantly limits their broader utilization. To date, the incorporation of flame retardants has proven to be an effective strategy in enhancing the fire resistance of these coatings. To mitigate potential health and environmental concerns, it is imperative to fundamentally understand and develop coating materials with flame-retardant properties, as well as consider their impact on other crucial properties, including mechanical strength, thermal stability, smoke suppression, and processing characteristics.
This Special Issue of the journal Coatings, entitled "Innovative Flame-Retardant Coatings for High-Performance Materials" is dedicated to showcasing recent research and advancements in the preparation, properties, and applications of high-performance flame-retardant coatings.
