Effect of melamine cyanurate on thermal and flame-retardant behaviour of chopped glass fibre reinforced polyphenylene ether/polystyrene/nylon-6

This paper deals with the effect of melamine cyanurate on thermal and fire retardant behaviour chopped glass fibre (40 wt.%) reinforced polyphenylene ether/polystyrene/nylon-6 (40/40/20 wt. %) which are processed in a twin screw co-rotating extruder. The composite specimens were fabricated by injection moulding. Addition decreased amount toxic gases organic volatile compounds, crystallinity, crystalline temperature melt but same fire-retardant increased transition heat distortion ternary alloy. Flame retardancy V0 V2 rating along Limiting Oxygen Index 35% was observed UL94 test for 5 % 10 addition cyanurate, respectively. tensile modulus elongation at break flow rate moisture content
