Abstract
Magnesium hydroxide (MDH) is an inexpensive inorganic
flame retardant agent that has been increasingly used to
replace conventional halogen-containing flame retardants
in polymers. In this work, the effects of combination of
micro-sized MDH particles (mMDH) with different
morphologies and nano-sized MDH particles (mMDH) on flame
retardant and mechanical properties of random
polypropylene copolymer/EVA blends were studied. The
results demonstrated that the morphology of mMDH
particles also plays an important role on flame retardant
properties mechanisms of the polymer. Issues concerning
with the initial endothermic decomposition stage of the
mMDH particles are crucial in the final flame retardant
property of the composites.
