The effect of coupling agent treatment on the mechanical and flame retardancy properties of rigid PVC-ATH nanocomposites

The effects of treated nano-sized aluminum tryhidrate (ATH) inclusion on the mechanical and flame retardancy properties of rigid polyvinyl (chloride) (PVC) have been studied. PVC-ATH nanocomposites were fabricated using two-roll mills and compression moulding with different concentration of ATH, ran...
