Graphite Oxide Flame-Retardant Polymer Nanocomposites
Abstract
Graphite oxide (GO) polymer nanocomposites were developed at 1, 5, and 10 wt % GO with polycarbonate (PC), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, and high-impact polystyrene for the purpose of evaluating the flammability reduction and material properties of the resulting systems. The overall morphology and dispersion of GO within the polymer nanocomposites were studied by scanning electron microscopy and optical microscopy; GO was found to be well-dispersed throughout the matrix without the formation of large aggregates. Mechanical testing was performed using dynamic mechanical analysis to measure the storage modulus, which increased for all polymer systems with increased GO loading. Microscale oxygen consumption calorimetry revealed that the addition of GO reduced the total heat release and peak heat release rates in all systems, and GO-PC composites demonstrated very fast self-extinguishing times in vertical open flame tests, which are important to some regulatory fire safety applications.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
