Abstract
AbstractThermal stability of polypropylene and carbon nanofibre composite system has been studied using Thermogravimetric Analysis, Limited Oxygen Index (LOI), Flammability, Calorimetry, and Oxidation Induction Time techniques. Definite improvement in thermo‐oxidative stability of the composite system has been observed. Improvement in LOI and a distinct change in the burning characteristics suggest a reduction in potential fire hazards. The nanocomposite system will have enhanced anti‐ageing characteristics and require more stringent conditions for the initiation of burning and the ultimate impact of burning will be less. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
