TLDR
In this article, a combined catalyst of fumed silica (SiO 2 ) with Ni 2 O 3 was demonstrated to be more efficient than SiO 2 or Ni 2O 3 alone in enhancing the char yield of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and improving its char layer structure, which greatly enhanced the flame retardancy of PLA.About:
