Development of flame retardant synthetic fibres using novel technologies
The dispersion of clays at the nanometer level is known to induce a significant improvement in mechanical properties, flame resistance and barrier properties, compared with pure polymer. Application of ultrasound in polymer processing can be used to improve additive dispersion in polymer melts and s...
