To meet the growing needs of public safety and sustainable development, it is highly desirable to develop flame-retardant polymer materials using a facile and low-cost method. Although conventional solution chemical synthesis has proven to be an efficient way of developing flame retardants, it often requires organic solvents and a complicated separation process. In this review, we summarize the progress made in utilizing simple ball milling (an important type of mechanochemical approach) to fabricate flame retardants and flame-retardant polymer composites. To elaborate, we first present a basic introduction to ball milling, and its crushing, exfoliating, modifying, and reacting actions, as used in the development of high-performance flame retardants. Then, we report the mixing action of ball milling, as used in the preparation of flame-retardant polymer composites, especially in the formation of multifunctional segregated structures. Hopefully, this review will provide a reference for the study of developing flame-retardant polymer materials in a facile and feasible way.
为了满足公共安全和可持续发展的日益增长的需求，开发使用简便、低成本的方法制备阻燃聚合物材料是非常可取的。虽然传统的溶液化学合成已被证明是开发阻燃剂的一种有效方法，但它通常需要有机溶剂和复杂的分离过程。在这篇综述中，我们总结了利用简单的球磨（一种重要的机械化学方法）来制备阻燃剂和阻燃聚合物复合材料的进展。具体来说，我们首先介绍了球磨的基本原理，以及它在开发高性能阻燃剂时的粉碎、剥离、改性和反应作用。然后，我们报告了球磨的混合作用，用于制备阻燃聚合物复合材料，特别是用于形成多功能隔离结构。希望本综述能为以简便可行的方式开发阻燃聚合物材料的研究提供参考。
