ABSTRACT
Molybdenum disulphide (MoS2) is a molybdenum-based compound that is commercially available for 2D layered nanosheet flame retardant applications. MoS2 is composed of two silicon atoms linked with a centralized molybdenum atom (S-Mo-S). The 2D nanosheet structure is constructed by multiple n-MoS2 layers with analogous alignments to graphene, in which the stack layers are linked by Van der Waals forces. This unique thin layered structure promotes the thermal stability of polymer substrates, as it limits heat penetration while possessing an excellent heat dispersion effect. With the increased capacities in material fabrication technology, manufacturing capability, and rapid expansion in the usage of 2D materials, MoS2 is deemed to be one of the most viable, efficient nanosheet materials for multifunctional flame-retardant applications, particularly for molybdenum-based compounds.
