Flax/PP and Flax/PLA Thermoplastic Composites: Influence of Fire Retardants on the Individual Components
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
This manuscript reports the impact of four commercial flame retardant formulations on the properties of two very different composite materials. The work seems to have been well-carried out and valid conclusions reached.
The manuscript will benefit from some adjustment for clarity and readability. Corrections are penciled-in directly on pages of the manuscript attached. These are indicative of the kinds of changes needed throughout. Figures should be checked to be sure that they appear properly in the final paper. Organohalogen compounds are prominent, but not the only, gas-phase active flame retardants. "Free radical" should be "radical". Free radical represents older nomenclature and the radicals discussed here are highly encumbered. Personal pronouns should be omitted.
