Abstract
Nanocomposites incorporating modified layered silicates as fillers dispersed at the nm-level within a polymer matrix are examined with respect to their inherent flame retardancy. The flame retardancy mechanism is reported to be based on the char formation and its structure. The char insulates the polymer from heat and acts as a barrier, reducing the escape of volatile gases from the polymer combustion. In addition, the combination of organoclays with traditional flame retardants is shown to be a means of further improving the flame retardant properties of polymers. The cone calorimeter is used as a tool for the investigation of flame retardancy. 9 refs.
