Flammability and thermal degradation of flame retarded polypropylene composites containing melamine phosphate and pentaerythritol derivatives
TL;DR: In this article, the flammability of polypropylene (PP) composites containing intumescent flame retardant additives, i.e., melamine phosphate (MP) and pentaerythritol (PER), dipentaerythrin (DPER) or tripentaerythsrin (TPER), was characterized by limiting oxygen index (LOI), UL 94 and the cone calorimeter, and the thermal degradation of the composites was studied using thermogravimetric analysis (TG) and real-time Fourier transform infrared (RTFTIR).

An Efficient Mono-Component Polymeric Intumescent Flame Retardant for Polypropylene: Preparation and Application
TL;DR: Results indicated that PP/PA-APP composite exhibited superior performance compared with PP/APP composite, and the oxygen index value of PP containing 22 wt % of PA-APP reached 31.2%, which increased by 58.4% compared with that of PP with equal amount of APP.

Crystallization kinetics and interfacial behaviors of polypropylene composites reinforced with multi-walled carbon nanotubes
TL;DR: In this paper, the carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were reinforced with polypropylene (PP) matrix resins to improve the electrical, thermal, and mechanical properties of CNTs/PP composites in different contents of 0, 1, 2, 3, and 5 wt% The volume resistivity was measured to discover the percolation threshold of the composites.
