Abstract

Some of novel halogen-free, elastomeric flame retardants for nylon-6 have been developed. It is found that the S-ENP and clay have a synergistic flame retardant effect on nylon-6 resulted from the formation of two barriers on the nanocomposite residue surface at the end of combustion. A novel flame retardant ternary nanocomposite of nylon-6/ENP/nano-Magnesium hydroxide was also fabricated. The new ternary composite has better flame retardancy and thermal stability than the conventional one because nano-MH can disperse much more homogeneous in the new ternary composite than in the conventional one.
