Novel biodegradable flame retardant, poly(butyl methacrylate)/sodium silicate/Mg(OH)2 nanocomposite
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract Flame retardant poly(butyl methacrylate)/sodium silicate/Mg(OH)2 (MH) nanocomposite has been prepared via in situ emulsion polymerization of BMA, benzoyl peroxide, layered silicate, and conventional fire retardant additive, MH. The morphology, thermal stability, and flammability properties of the nanocomposite were characterized by IR, XRD, TEM, TGA, cone calorimetry, and limiting oxygen index. The thermal stability and the flame retardant properties of the polymer‐silicate‐MH showed significant improvements in the decomposition temperature and the lower heat release rates due to the formation of nanocomposites with layered silicates. Biodegradation testing by Bacillus cereus (gram‐positive) revealed the ecofriendly nature of the nanocomposite. POLYM. COMPOS., 2008. © 2007 Society of Plastics Engineers
