The structure, thermal behavior and flame retardant properties of polypropylene (PP) nanocomposites treated with complex flame retardants composed of layered double hydroxides (LDH) and ammonium polyphosphate (APP)/pentaerythritol (PER) intumescent flame retardant systems have been investigated by XRD, TEM, LOI, UL-94, and TGA analysis. The results showed that introduction of LDH nanofillers into the samples can obtain good flame retardant synergistic effects with APP/PER additives at appropriate LDH loadings. Such synergism between LDH and APP/PER in PP matrix can be explained by a proposed condensed phase flame retardant mechanism. And based on this study, different types of modified PP products were developed in a ten-thousand-ton scale to be used for the automobile industries, such as car bumpers and dashboards. |
