This review article, authored by Shubham Agnihotri, Javed N. Sheikh, S. P. Singh, and B. K. Behera from the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, focuses on flame-retardant (FR) textile structural composites for construction applications. The authors highlight the importance of composites in construction due to their low water absorption, chemical and corrosion resistance, lightweight, high specific strength, high specific modulus, and low thermal conductivity. The review covers the evolution of FR materials, their manufacturing techniques, properties, characterization, applications, and challenges. The primary goal is to analyze the mechanisms of fire retardancy and summarize the preparation of FR polymer materials by adding various flame-retardant agents. The introduction emphasizes the growing concern over fire hazards in polymeric materials and the need for efficient FR compounds to enhance safety in various industries, particularly building, electrical, electronic, and transportation sectors. The article also discusses the historical development of flame retardants and their effectiveness in mitigating fire risks.This review article, authored by Shubham Agnihotri, Javed N. Sheikh, S. P.
