Synergistic effects of layered double hydroxide(LDH) with intumescent flame retardanct(IFR) of phosphorus-nitrogen (NP) compound in the polypropylene/ethylene-propylene-diene/IFR/LDH(PP/EPDM/IFR/LDH) nanocomposites and related properties were studied by X-ray diffraction(XRD),transmission electron microscopy(TEM),scanning electron microscopy(SEM),limiting oxygen index(LOI),UL-94 test,cone calorimeter test(CCT) and thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA).The XRD and TEM results show that the intercalated and/or exfoliated nanocomposites can be obtained by direct melt-intercalation of PP/EPDM into modified LDH and that LDH can promote the IFR additive NP to disperse more homogeneously in the polymer matrix.The SEM results provide positive evidence that more compact charred layers can be obtained from the PP/EPDM/NP/LDH sample than those from the PP/EPDM/LDH and PP/EPDM/NP samples during burning.The LOI and UL-94 rating tests show that the synergetic effects of LDH with NP can effectively increase the flame retardant properties of the PP/EPDM/NP/LDH samples.The data from the CCT and TGA tests indicate that the PP/EPDM/NP/LDH samples apparently decrease the HRR and MLR values and thus enhance the flame retardant properties and have better thermal stability than the PP/EPDM/LDH and PP/EPDM/NP samples.
Synergistic effects of layered double hydroxide (LDH) with intumescent flame retardanct (IFR) of phosphorus-nitrogen (NP) compound in the polypropylene / ethylene- propylene-diene / IFR / LDH (PP / EPDM / IFR / LDH) nanocomposites and related properties were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), limiting oxygen index (LOI), UL-94 test, cone calorimeter test (CCT) and thermo-gravimetric analysis ). XRD and TEM results show that intercalated and / or exfoliated nanocomposites can be obtained by direct melt-intercalation of PP / EPDM into modified LDH and that LDH can promote the IFR additive NP to disperse more homogeneously in the polymer matrix. SEM results provide more evidence that more compact charred layers can be obtained from the PP / EPDM / NP / LDH sample than those from the PP / EPDM / LDH and PP / EPDM / NP samples during burning. LOI and UL-94 rating tests show that the synergetic effects of LDH with NP can effectively incre ase the flame retardant properties of the PP / EPDM / NP / LDH samples. The data from the CCT and TGA tests indicate that the PP / EPDM / NP / LDH samples apparently decrease the HRR and MLR values and thus enhance the flame retardant properties and have better thermal stability than the PP / EPDM / LDH and PP / EPDM / NP samples.
