Effect of Sepiolite Content on Mechanical and Flammability Properties of Ethylene Vinyl Acetate Nanocomposite

Abstract:

Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA)/Sepiolite nanocomposites were prepared by melt extrusion using a counter-rotating twin-screw extruder followed by injection molding. Sepiolite was loaded in EVA is varies at 1, 3, 5 and 7 wt%. The mechanical properties of EVA/Sepiolite nanocomposites were studied through tensile test. The flame retardancy of nanocomposites were studied for limiting oxygen index (LOI). LOI tests show that the flame retardancy of nanocomposites were increased with increase ratio of sepiolite in EVA/Sepiolite nanocomposite. The tensile properties of EVA/Sepiolite nanocomposites were also increased with increased Sepiolite content in nanocomposites.
