Flame retardant polyamide fibres: The challenge of minimising flame retardant additive contents with added nanoclays

Horrocks, A. R.; Sitpalan, A.; Zhou, C.; Kandola, B. (Polymers, 2016)

This work shows that halogen-free, flame retarded polyamide 6 (PA6), fabrics may be produced in which component fibres still have acceptable tensile properties and low levels (preferably ď10 wt %) of additives by ...
The potential for ultrasound to improve nanoparticle dispersion and increase flame resistance in fibre-forming polymers

Horrocks, A. R.; Kandola, B.; Milnes, G. J.; Sitpalan, A.; Hadimani, R. L. (Journal of Polymer Degradation and Stability, 2012)

The effects of exposing to ultrasound compounded melts of polypropylene (PP) and polyamide 6 (PA6) formulations comprising nanoclays both alone and in the presence of other flame retardants are explored in terms of their ...
