Polypropylene (PP) burns very rapidly due to its wholly aliphatic hydrocarbon structure.
Studies have shown that the rapid decomposition and flammability of PP are very high when …

During the combustion of polymeric materials, plenty of heat, smoke, and toxic gases are
produced that may cause serious harm to human health. Although the flame retardants such …

In this study, different amounts of boric acid (BA, 1.25, 2.5, 3.75 and 5.0 wt%) were used to
enhance the effectiveness of an intumescent flame retardant (IFR) system composed of …

Abstract Silver-loaded kaolinite (AgKaol), an antibacterial agent along with a barrier
enhancer, was incorporated into poly (lactic acid)(PLA), poly (butylene adipate-co …

Ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) rubber is highly flammable, facing potential fire
hazard when it is used as electric cable sheaths, automobile parts, etc. In this work, aiming …

Three kinds of inorganic particles, zinc borate (ZB), organic montmorillonite (OMMT), and
expanded graphite (EG) as synergistic flame retardants, are incorporated into ethylene …

Abstract Acrylonitrile–butadiene–styrene (ABS) composites with less smoke and toxicity
hazards (eg, HCN and NOx) emission are highly demanded. As a common smoke …

In this study, nanofillers composed of alumina, titania, and organoclay were separately
embedded in 50% polypropylene (PP) and 50% ethylene propylene diene monomer …

To obtain an effective and simple means to regulate the microstructure and synergistically
improve the mechanical properties and flame retardancy, maleic anhydride grafting ethylene …

In this work, the ethylene-propylene-diene monomer/polypropylene (EPDM/PP)
thermoplastic elastomer filled with intumescent flame retardants (IFR) is fabricated by …
