Abstract
A novel approach to the development of nanocomposite materials based on high-density polyethylene and an inorganic flame retardant, magnesium hydroxide, via the fundamental strategy of environmental crazing of polymers has been advanced. Efficient methods for incorporation of magnesium nitrate as a precursor into mesoporous polymeric matrices have been proposed, and optimal conditions providing high-conversion in situ hydrolysis of magnesium salt to magnesium hydroxide within the confined space of mesopores of polymeric matrixes have been found. As a result of in situ hydrolysis, spherical or needle-shaped magnesium hydroxide nanoparticles are found to be uniformly distributed within the volume of the high-density polyethylene matrix. The obtained nanocomposite polymeric materials with a low content of magnesium hydroxide nanoparticles (up to 30 wt %) are characterized by reduced flammability and mechanical characteristics comparable to those of the initial polymer.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
