The editors have expanded the second edition to echo the
multidisciplinary approach inherent in current flame retardancy
technology and put it in a revised, more user-friendly format.
More than just an update of previously covered topics, this
edition discusses:

The book introduces flame retardants polymer-by-polymer,
supplemented by a brief overview of mode of action and
interaction, and all the other ancillary issues involved in this
applied field of materials science. The book delineates what,
why, and how to do it, covering the fundamentals of polymer
burning/combustion and how to apply these systems and chemistries
to specific materials classes. It also provides suggested
formulations, discusses why certain materials are preferred for
particular uses or applications, and offers a starting point from
which to develop fire-safe materials.
