Polymer/layered silicate (clay) nanocomposites: An overview of flame retardancy (2010, background): “[83] to xplain the diminution of pHRR in the case of nanocompostes is that paramagnetic iron, present in the clay structure, an induce radical trapping to prevent degradation.”
Graphene/montmorillonite hybrid synergistically reinforced polyimide composite aerogels with enhanced flame-retardant performance (2017, background): “Recent work has shown that some nanomaterials, such as carbon nanotubes [17], clays [18], and graphene [19], are attractive for this purpose, because they can simultaneously improve both the physical and flame-retardant properties of the polymer aerogels.”
Can nanoparticles really enhance thermal stability of polymers? Part I: An overview on thermal decomposition of addition polymers (2011, methodology): “Two approaches can be considered to enhance PVC thermal stability using nanoparticles: by adding barrier or by HCl trapping properties [113,114].”
