摘要: In this work, the rheological behavior of flame retardant polypropylene composites produced by two methods: 1) twin-screw extrusion and 2) ultrasound application combined with a static mixer die single-screw is analyzed in detail; results are related to morphology composites. The polymer composed matrix, an intumescent system functionalized clay. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that combination on-line sonication reduced particle size improved dispersion distribution additives matrix at micrometric level. From linear viscoelastic properties, Han, Cole-Cole van Gurp-Palmen diagrams characterized additives. Two well-defined behaviors were observed these diagrams. These independent on clay presence concentration. fact, device generates 3D highly interconnected structure similar co-continuous pattern blends as evidenced measurements. This improvement attributed effect allowed reducing additive content while achieving optimum classification UL94-V0.
