Tóm tắt

The tensile and combustion properties of polypropylene/polyolyaltha olefin composites filled with intumescent flame retardant (IFR) and nanometer calcium carbonate (nano-CaCO3) were measured. It was found that the values of the Young’s modulus of the composites increased almost linearly, while the values of the tensile yield strength and tensile fracture strength of the composites decreased with increasing the IFR weight fraction; the values of the elongation at break of the composites decreased quickly when the IFR weight fraction was lower than 10 wt%, and then varied slightly when the IFR weight fraction was higher than 10 wt%. Moreover, the morphology of the specimens after combustion was observed and the frame retardant mechanisms of the composites were discussed.
