| Popis: | The mechanical properties and flame retardancy of linear low-density polyethylene/ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymer thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) containing magnesium hydroxide sulfate hydrate (MHSH) whiskers and their corresponding un-vulcanized blends (UVBs) were evaluated using static tensile measurements, cone calorimetry and limiting oxygen index (LOI) tests. TPEs exhibited better fire-resistant properties in reducing peak heat release rate and improving LOI values to UVBs. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images showed that TPE sample left a more compact char after cone test. Results from tensile tests confirmed that TPEs had superior mechanical properties to UVBs due to the better compatibility between MHSH whiskers and polymer matrix. |
