Flammability and thermal properties of ethylenevinyl acetate filled treated and untreated sepiolite nanocomposites
Flame retardant ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA)/ Sepiolite nanocomposites were prepared by melt blending using twin screw extruder and injection molding machine at various Sepiolite content. Modification process of sepiolite was carried out by using 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (3-APTMS) in water/etha...

| Summary: | Flame retardant ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA)/ Sepiolite nanocomposites were prepared by melt blending using twin screw extruder and injection molding machine at various Sepiolite content. Modification process of sepiolite was carried out by using 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (3-APTMS) in water/ethanol medium. Thermal and flame retardancy properties of the prepared nanocomposites were evaluated. By the addition of unmodified sepiolite, both flame retardancy and thermal stability characteristics improved. Silane modified sepiolite has further improved these properties. It was also found that Sepiolite has increased the thermal degradation temperature of EVA. |
