摘要
In the present work, diatomite was used as co-filler in aluminium hydroxide/ethylene-vinyl acetate composites (ATH/EVA). This silica-based marine sediment acts as a synergistic agent with ATH, to increase the flame retardant properties of EVA composites. When diatomite was used with ATH the formation of an expanded layer during cone calorimetry tests was observed. This layer presents a complex structure which better insulates the sample and reduces the heat release rate (HRR). Rheological measurements, such as complex viscosity obtained with an ARES apparatus, suggest an influence of the viscosity of the sample melt. We assume that the viscosity of the EVA composites is influenced by the porosity of the diatomite. Better residue cohesion was also obtained in presence of diatomite. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd.
