Thermoplastic and thermoset polymers in use today have fire risk and fire hazard associated
with them that is not always well known to the public or material scientists. Recent events in …

Thermostable nanocomposites based on interpenetrating polymer network
bismaleimide/cyanate ester (BMI/CE) copolymer, derived from bisphenol A dicyanate, 4, 4 …

In this study, kaolinite/epoxy resin nanocomposites were fabricated using functionalized
kaolinite (KGS) as filler. The KGS was prepared by silylation of 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane …

Composites of clay minerals mixed with sodium silicate as new inorganic flame retardants
for wood have been investigated. Vermiculite beads were exfoliated by an ultra-sonication …

The pyrolysis characteristics of a nanoparticle-reinforced epoxy matrix composite were
investigated to gain a better understanding of the basic mechanisms for flame retardancy. A …

Fire safety in polymers is critically important with products such as textiles and consumer
goods, as well as materials used in construction, aerospace, transportation, and furniture …

Integrating natural fibers derived from local industrial waste streams into thermoplastic
starch (TPS) proves to be a promising approach towards sustainable flame retardant …

Flame retardancy of polylactic acid (PLA) was improved by dual use of aluminum hydroxide
(AH) and phenol resin as safe flame retardants to allow PLA to be widely applied in durable …

Particle-reinforced composites and nanocomposites can contain a wide range of discrete
particles, of various morphologies (eg spherical, fibre, and tube). Two-dimensional …

Este trabajo tuvo como objetivo estudiar el efecto del tamaño de partícula de la bentonita,
en las propiedades reológicas de las soluciones de gelatina con glicerol, bentonita y ácido …
