Flame retardancy of nanocomposites based on organoclays and carbon nanotubes with aluminium trihydrate

Abstract
AbstractThe addition of aluminium trihydrate as a microfiller to organoclays or carbon nanotubes is essential to generate nanocomposites with sufficient flame retardant properties as requested by the industry. Cables using the combination of organoclays or carbon nanotubes and aluminium trihydrate demonstrate the applications of these nanocomposites as a new concept for flame retardancy.
