“…This method, however, brings up problems such as toxicity of flame retardants, emission of corrosive, toxic, and smoky halogen compounds in fire. 1 In the past time, more attentions had been paid to this problem and many techniques were applied into this field. Among them, using halogen-free flame retardants, such as aluminum hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH) 2 ) in place of traditional flame retardants, is a practical and promising way to overcome the aforementioned difficulties.…”

Four kinds of magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH) 2 ) with different particle sizes are chosen and mixed with ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) to investigate the effect of particle size on the flame retardancy of composites, which is evaluated by limiting oxygen index (LOI) testing, horizontal fire testing, and cone calorimeter. When Mg(OH) 2 filling level changes from 35 to 70 wt %, the composites filled with nano-Mg(OH) 2 do not always possess the best flame retardancy, and among the composites filled with micro-Mg(OH) 2 , the composites filled with 800 mesh Mg(OH) 2 show the best flame retardancy; however, the composites filled with 1250 mesh presents the worst one. So the effect of particle size on the flame retardancy of microMg(OH) 2 -filled EVA is not linear as expected. All the differences are thought to result from both particle size effect and distributive dispersion level of Mg(OH) 2 . To prepare the composites with better mechanical properties and flame retardancy, authors suggested that Mg(OH) 2 of smaller size should be chosen as flame retardant, and good dispersion of Mg(OH) 2 particles also should be assured.

“…Calcium carbonate is also used to adjust price and elastic modulus. However, to achieve desirable properties, a high loading of mineral fillers should be used which may lead to a dramatic decrease in mechanical properties and an increase of the density of the final product [4][5][6][7][8][9]. Also, the effect of aluminium hydroxide, antimony trioxide and EVA on the properties of silane crosslinked LDPE was investigated [10].…”

Abstract. In the present work, the effect of pristine layered silicate montmorillonite (MMT) nanoclay on the properties of silane-crosslinked LLDPE prepared by melt compounding is investigated. The effect of the sequence of feeding additives (nanoclay and grafting agent) into the mixer on gel content, thermal and mechanical properties were studied. Results demonstrate that the sequence of feeding additives influences the final properties of nanocomposites. For samples prepared by first grafting of silane on LLDPE followed by incorporation of nanoclay into the polymer matrix, the gel content and the rate of crosslinking increased, while the elongation at break decreased. For samples prepared by first mixing nanoclay into the LLDPE matrix followed by the grafting reaction, the rate of crosslinking and the tensile properties did not change significantly. The gel content increased with increasing content of nanoclay for both process routes due to an enhanced permeation of water molecules into the polymer matrix in the presence of polar montmorillonite particles. Wide angle X-ray scattering (WAXS) results proved the intercalation/partial exfoliation morphology of nanoclay in the silane-grafted LLDPE matrix. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) data showed multiple melting behaviour for crosslinked samples which is indicative for different crystalline structures of the sol and gel part of the LLDPE matrix.
