Effect of clays on the fire-retardant properties of a polyethylenic copolymer containing intumescent formulation

Organophilic clay particles were added to a standard intumescent formulation and, since the role of clay expansion or intercalation is still a matter of much controversy, several clays with varying degrees of interlayer distances were evaluated. The composites were obtained by blending the nanostruc...
