Paraloid-Mg(OH)2 nanocomposites were synthesized via sonochemical method. Nanostructures were characterized by XRD and SEM. Thermal stability behavior of paraloid filled with magnesium hydroxide was investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The influence of Mg(OH)2 nanostructures on the flame retardancy of the paraloid matrix was studied using UL-94 analysis. Our r...

It remains a challenge to prepare flame-retardant composites via the addition of low content flame retardant. In this work, novel DOPO-functionalized reduced graphene oxide hybrid (DOPO-M-rGO) system was synthesized for epoxy resin (EP). The phosphorus-nitrogen-reduced ternary synergistic effect provided DOPO-M-rGO with high flame-resistance efficiency in EP; thus, EP-based composite exhibited ...

Polymer processing techniques have experienced continued progress over decades to meet performance requirements in diverse applications. In the same period, various high-performance polymeric materials been developed rapidly. Fabrication of polymer fibers has center attention from origin synthetic polymers, with applications ranging textiles biomedical materials. Electrospinning is a well-known...

Positively charged chitosan (CS) and negatively montmorillonite (MMT) were layer-by-layer (LBL) assembled on Xuan paper pulp fiber to fabricate an organic/inorganic flame-retardant coating. The achieved a limiting oxygen index (LOI) value of 24.6% when the was treated by 20 bilayers (BLs) CS/MMT coating, its vertical flame properties also improved with less after-flame after-glow times compared...

Cellulosic paper (from wood fibers) is a highly flammable material that used in corrugated carboard, packaging, printing, and construction. While there significant work focused on depositing flame retardant coating onto the individual pulp fibers, are very few studies apply coatings to already-cast paper. In an effort improve properties of paper, polymer-dense coacervate composed polyethylenimi...
