Flammability. generally reduction mechanism

The generally accepted mechanism that has been suggested to explain the reduction in flammability for polymer-organoclay nanocomposites containing... 

The use of fire-resistant resins or the incorporation of Flame Retardant (FR) systems into the polymer binder improve, partially, fire reaction behaviour however, these solutions generally lead to a reduction of mechanical properties of the final product. Polymer binder modification with inorganic Nano Materials (NM), could be a potential and efficient solution to control matrix flammability without scarifying other important properties of PM (Ribeiro et al., 2013).
