The synergistic action between anhydride grafted carbon fiber and intumescent flame retardant enhances flame retardancy and mechanical properties of polypropylene composites

The applications of polypropylene/carbon fiber (PP/CF) composite are hindered by the high flammability of PP substrate. This work reports a facile solvothermal method to modify CF though grafting maleic anhydride (MAH) on its surface, with the goal of enhancing the compatibility of intumescent flame...
