聚合物材料的大量问世大大加剧了燃烧酿成的火灾危险，如何提高材料的阻燃性能已成为全世界十分关注的问题。随着国民经济的快速发展，人们对阻燃产品的要求越来越严格，阻燃的标准和法规也越来越完善，加强环境生态的保护已成为全人类的共识。高分子阻燃材料学是研究有机聚合物的燃烧性能和阻燃规律的一门新兴的技术科学。该课程以高分子化学，高分子物理及高分子成型加工为基础，目的是通过课堂教学、课堂讨论以及阻燃实验技术使学生理解阻燃机理、阻燃剂的合成与制备工艺、阻燃体系的选择；了解阻燃材料结构与性能的表征方法和有关测试仪器的结构原理及其应用；以及阻燃材料及其制品的开发、阻燃效果评价。侧重于培养学生对阻燃材料的了解，扩大学生的学术范围。培养学生在交叉学科和创新能力等方面的综合发展。

Polymer materials have been widely used in a diverse range of applications. since the year they are developed. But polymer materials are easily combustible, how to improve the flame retardance of the polymers has attracted a lot of attentions in the whole world. With the quick national economy developing, to get flame retarded materials without pollution to the environment is being the common understanding of the human beings, so the request to flame retarded products is more rigorous, and the standards and statutes are more advanced. Polymer flame retardant science is a newly technology course which studies on the combustion and flame retardant behaviors of organic polymers. This course is based on polymer chemistry, polymer physics and polymer processing, What the course role is let students in touch with the flame retardant mechanism and synthesize the flame retardant and get a suitable flame retarded system, investigate the relationship between the structure and the performance and evaluate the flame retardance of the products, according to the class teaching, discussion and also some experiments. The focus of this course is to let the students know more about flame retarded materials, enlarge students’ academic range, cultivate the students’ innovative abilities in multidisciplinary research.
