Halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) are classified as nanoclay composed of hollow-like nano-tubular nanostructure. HNTs utilized in fabricating polymeric nanoarchitectures due to their broad surface area, inexpensiveness and ease availability. functionalization is imperative attainment uniform distribution within matrices has enhanced the fire suppressing, thermal stability along with mechanical features HNT@polymeric (HNT@PNC), attributable tubular architecture which facilitates trapping flammable volatiles thereby forming a strong barricade on impeding heat mass transportation procedure enforcing flame retardancy (FR). The FR majorly ascertained via propensity ignitability, spreading, well smoke releasing. These parameters usually utilizing cone calorimeter test (CCT), UL-94-V examination limiting oxygen index (LOI) test. CCT horizontally affiliated evaluation strategy whereby specimens positioned horizontally, whereas LOI vertically oriented procedures. Therefore, this paper presents advances suppressing mechanisms HNT@PNC.
