New approach to flame retardancy using plasma assisted surface polymerisation techniques

摘要

We have used a new approach to flame retard polyamide-6 using plasma assisted surface polymerisation techniques. It shows promising result because with a polysiloxane coating of about 50 μm thick on polyamide-6, the rate of heat release decreases by 30 in comparison with the virgin polyamide-6. Moreover the coating on PA-6 leads to more incomplete combustion reactions.
