Title:
FLAME RETARDANT POLYMER COMPOSITES AND METHOD OF FABRICATION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2003070821
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A flame retardant composite and a method for its fabrication are disclosed. The flame retardant composite shows both improved mechanical properties and flame retardancy. The composite comprises a matrix material and carbon nanotubes, such as single walled nanotubes, multi-walled nanotubes or fishbone-like graphitic cylinders, exhibiting a hollow core. For example, the outer diameters of the carbon nanofibers may be in the range from 1.2 to 500 nm. For example, a carbon nanotube may be incorporated as a layer in or on the surface of the composite. The method of fabrication of the composite may include a step of de-agglomeration.
