STUDY ON FIRE SAFETY OF NYLON-6/CALY NANOCOMPOSITE BY CONE CALORIMETER

Shu Zhong-jun, Zongneng Qi

Abstract

The fire safety of nylon-6/clay nanocomposites from melt intercalation compounding has been studied by means of cone calorimeter. The test data show that nylon-6/clay nanocomposites have unique flame retradance, when the content of clay in these nanocomposite were 5% and 7% respectively, the peak heat release rate of nylon-6/clay composite decreases 32% and 53% respectively with compare to nylon-6. Moreover, their smoke formation rate didn′t increase as apparently as others prepared from conventional flame retardance techniques.
