Abstract: This article reviewed the recent research progresses in halogen-free flameretardant thermoplastic polyesters and especially introduced the development and applications of halogenfree flame retardants including for poly(ethylene terephthalate), poly(1,4-butylene terephthalate) and polycarbonate in recent five years phosphoruscontaining, phosphorusnitrogen, silicone and inorganic flame retardants. Their flame retardant mechanisms and effects on the flameretardant performance of thermoplastic polyesters were analyzed, and their merits and demerits were evaluated. Finally, the development trend of halogenfree flameretardant thermoplastic polyesters was prospected.
