Mechanical and flammability properties of PVC reinforced with nano-sized ATH particles

The effect of nano-sized alumina trihydrate (ATH) as reinforcement and flame retardant in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) were determined. Melt mixing technique using two roll mills was employed to prepare PVC/alumina trihydrate (ATH) nanocomposites with different ATH loadings. The nano-sized ATH particles...
