TL;DR: In this paper, three commercially available copolymers are used as compatibilizer in carbon fiber (CF) reinforced high density polyethylene (PE) based composites, and the results showed that the use of coupling agents increases the mechanical properties of composites regardless of their type.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of microcapsulated red phosphorus (mRP) on the flame retardant, thermal and mechanical properties of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) composites containing Huntite&hydromagnesite (HH) was investigated using limiting oxygen index (LOI), vertical burning test (UL 94), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and mass loss calorimeter.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of expandable graphite (EG) on flame retardant, thermal and mechanical properties of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) containing huntite&hydromagnesite (HH) was studied.

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of surface modifications of fullerene on mechanical, melt flow and electrical properties of TPU based composites was investigated. And the best results were obtained in nitric acid and silane modified fullerenes containing composites at the lowest concentration (05%) higher MFI values were observed for composites loaded with surface treated fullererenes compared to pristine fulrerene because of their better dispersion in TPU.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a comprehensive description of the flame retardant effect of boron compounds with general flame-retardant mechanisms in natural polymers, biocomposite applications, thermoplastics, elastomers, and thermosets as well as the synergistic effect studies with other flame- retardant additives.
