Influence of organoclay and nitroxylether on the rheological, thermal and flame-retardant properties of co-continuous PP/EVA blends

Abstract

Effect of concurrent inclusion of two type fillers, i.e. OMMT and NOR, on rheological, morphological, thermal and flame retardant properties of the PP/PEVA blends has been studied. The co-continuous morphology became finer with OMMT, NOR and OMMT/NOR inclusion. The result of rheological study revealed that the polymer blend and the NOR loaded composite possess liquid-like, whereas the OMMT composites represent solid-like behavior. Moreover, in OMMT loaded composite, a G' and G" crossover in low frequency range appeared due to formation of network-like structure between OMMT layers. Thermogravimetric analysis corroborated the concurrent inclusion of OMMT and NOR in nitrogen atmosphere decreases To by 2%, increases the T max1 by 0.9% and increases T max2 by 2% comparing the blended composition. The results of microscale combustion calorimetry showed that concurrent incorporation of OMMT and NOR decreases the peak heat release rate and total heat release by 32% and 4% comparing the polymer blend, respectively.

Metallocene Polyolefins Reinforced by Low-Entanglement UHMWPE through Interfacial Entanglements

“…LLDPE matrix is more sensitive to UHMWPE changes, and the liquid-like to solid-like transition shifts quickly to low frequencies. It originates from the formation of networked structures with the incorporation of Dis-UHMWPE [21][22][23].…”

Evaluating the mechanical, thermal, and antibacterial properties of poly (lactic acid)/silicone rubber blends reinforced with (3‐aminopropyl) triethoxysilane‐functionalized titanium dioxide nanoparticles

“…Polymers have drawn much attention because of their diversity, versatility, and practicality. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] Poly(lactic acid) (PLA), derived from renewable resources, exhibits outstanding properties such as good strength, high modulus, and optical clarity. Thanks to these remarkable features, PLA is one of the most widely utilized biodegradable and biocompatible plastics used in the industrial packaging field or in the biocompatible/bioabsorbable medical device market.…”
