Abstract
The one-pot synthesis and characterization of a series of silicate-siloxane composites derived from vermiculite by reaction with hydroxy-terminated poly(dimethylsiloxane)s is described. Cone calorimetry has been used to obtain heat release rate measurements. The results show that even at the highest irradiance levels the samples had very long ignition times. Ignition resistance decreased as the hydrocarbon content of the composite increased. The results from the cone calorimeter are compared with those obtained by pyrolysis gas chromatography-mass spectrometry which showed that small volatile silicon-containing molecules are formed during pyrolysis.
