Flame retardancy is the property that highly demanded when it comes to deal with plastics in different industries. In this research general purpose polystyrene (GPPS) and modified sepiolite clay are melt blended together fabricate flame retardant nanocomposites. Structural analysis were performed help of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. Morpholo...

The selected functional properties of rice husk/wood blended particleboards which include thermal analysis, limiting oxygen index, morphological and mechanical have been investigated. Rice were produced with one step hot press casting technique using citric acid to improve the compatibility in calcium oxide aluminum as flame retardants. results showed improvement properties, retardancy, stabili...

Thermally reduced graphite oxide (TRGO), containing only four single carbon layers on average, was combined with ammonium polyphosphate (APP) and magnesium hydroxide (MH), respectively, in polypropylene (PP). The nanoparticle’s influence on different flame-retarding systems and possible synergisms in pyrolysis, reaction to small flame, fire behavior and mechanical properties were determined. TR...

A microencapsulated flame retardant was used in order to produce a flame retardant nonwoven substrate. Melamine-formaldehyde polymer-shell microcapsules, containing Afflamit® PLF 280 (resorcinol bis(diphenyl phosphate)) as the core substance, were coated by an outer thermoplastic wall (polystyrene (PS) or poly(methyl methacrylate)), before being applied to a core/sheet-type bi-component PET/co-...

The implementation of organic phase change materials (PCMs) in several applications such as heating and cooling or building comfort is an important target in thermal energy storage (TES). However, one of the major drawbacks of organic PCMs implementation is flammability. The addition of flame retardants to PCMs or shape-stabilized PCMs is one of the approaches to address this problem and improv...
