Abstract

Studies of thermo-oxidative and fire-resistant properties of the polypropylene/multi-walled carbon nanotube composites (PP/MWCNT) prepared by melt intercalation are discussed. The effective kinetic parameters of the PP/MWCNT thermo-oxidative decomposition were computed according to the model-based kinetic analysis. The thermo-oxidative decomposition behavior of PP/MWCNT and stabilizing effect caused by addition of MWCNT has been investigated by means of TGA and EPR spectroscopy. Comparative analysis of the flammability characteristics for PP-clay/MWCNT nanocomposites was provided in order to emphasize the specific behavior of the nanocomposites.
