Thermal degradation and combustibility of polypropylene filled with magnesium hydroxide micro-filler and polypropylene nano-filled aluminosilicate composite

The thermal degradation behaviour of polypropylene filled with magnesium hydroxides and polypropylene nanocomposite has been studied by applying a number of analyses. The combustibility of the polypropylene compositions was evaluated by cone calorimeter studies. It has been found that the flammability of the compositions has been reduced by 60 and 40% for the polypropylene filled with magnesium hydroxide and the polypropylene-graft-maleic anhydride nanocomposite with 10 %wt. Cloisite 15A, respectively.
