Young scientist pioneers fire safe materials

Nigeria newspaper ‘Leadership’ interview points to fire safety and performance of sustainable non-halogenated FRs. The interview of Abdulwasiu Muhammed Raji, Nigerian young scientist, currently working on a PhD in France cites his motivation for solving real-world problems, protecting people, preserving the environment and bridging innovation between Africa and global research. His work has included developing fire-resistant foams for furniture with lower smoke and toxicity, non-halogenated intumescent PIN flame retardant systems, and also low-emission aviation fuels. He underlines that non-halogenated flame retardants can today achieve or even exceed industrial standards and the need for fire safety in homes and buildings (including informal urbanisation) and in public transport in Nigeria.
