Polyethylene - layer double hydroxide nanocomposites: Flammability and Thermo physical properties

摘要

Layer Double Hydroxides (LDH) as flame retardants are a growing interest. The quest for non-halogen flame retardants has led to the need to find non-toxic flame retardants for commercial use in polymers. This article reports the thermal and flammability properties of linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) incorporated with LDH. The objective of this project is to evaluate the flame retardance of polyethylene. Thermophysical measurements and tensile results are also conducted.
