Abstract

Flame retardant Nylon 6 (PA6)/montmorillonite (MMT) nanocomposites have been prepared using direct melt intercalation technique by blending PA6, organophilic clay and conventional fire retardants, such as the melamine cyanurate (MCA) and the combination of decabromodiphenyl oxide (DB) and antimony oxide (AO). Their morphology and combustion properties are characterized by XRD, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UL‐94 test and Cone Calorimeter experiments. The flame retardant nanocomposites with MCA or DB and AO show lower heat release rate (HRR) peak compared to that of conventional flame retardant PA6. Meanwhile, the synergetic effect was studied between clay and DB‐AO.

The pyrolysis of nylon 6 has been shown to proceed by a first-order process to yield ccaprolactam as the primary product. This degradation has an energy of activation of approximately 46 kcal/mole which would seem to indicate the involvement of a homolytic process. Inclusion of organobromine compoun

Melamine cyanurate (MCA) was utilized as an environmental friendly additive to prepare the nonhalogen flame retardant MCA/Nylon 66 composites by melt blending technique. Because of the strong hydrogen bond interactions and fine interfacial compatibility between MCA and Nylon 66, the resultant even d
