Construction of thermoplastic cellulose esters matrix composites with enhanced flame retardancy and mechanical properties by embedding hydrophobic magnesium hydroxide

Biomass‐based composites with renewability and biodegradability have attracted extensive researches, but their applications are hindered by poor mechanical properties and flame retardancy. Cellulose ester matrix composites (CEMC), a kind of biomass‐based composites, were prepared with inorganic crystals as flame retardant and reinforcement. Cellulose acetate oleate (CAO) prepared by mechanical activation‐assisted solid‐phase reaction was used as...
