A facile method to improve thermal stability and flame retardancy of polyamide 6

Despite great advances for flame-retardant polyamide 6 (PA6), there is still a lack of facile strategies for creating advanced flame-retardant PA6 composites without significantly compromising its thermal stability to date. In this work, flame retardant PA6 nanocomposites were fabricated by incorporation of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and organic montmorillonite (OMMT) together with aluminum diisobutylphosphinite acid (ABPA) into PA6. CNTs,...
