Olefinic compatibilized blend(R-PP/R-PE)/layered silicate composites have been prepared by melt intercalation technique directed from $Na^{+}$ montmorillonite(MMT) or organophilic montmorillonites while using magnesium hydroxide as flame retardant. Morphology and flammability properties were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD), transmission electron microscopy(TEM), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), thermogravimetry analysis(TGA), limiting oxygen index(LOI), UL94 test. It is found that the compatibilized blend/layered silicate(Cloisite 20A) nanocomposites have a mixed immiscible-intercalated structure and there is better intercalation when a compatibilizer is combined with the polymer and layered silicate to be melt blended. A very large increase in the LOI value was observed with hybrid filler addition and further enhancement in thermal stability and compatibility of blend was obtained for the compatibilized blend containing small amount of layered silicate.

In the geological repository of radioactive nuclear waste, anaerobic corrosion can generate hydrogen, and may conservatively lead to the production of hydrogen-air layer. The accumulated hydrogen may cause a hazardous flame propagation resulting from any potential ignition sources. This study numerically investigates the processes of ignition and flame propagation in the layered mixture. Simple geometry was chosen to represent the geological repository, and reactive flow simulations were performed with different ignition power, energy, and locations. The simulation results revealed the effects of power and energy of ignition source, which were also analyzed theoretically. The mechanism of layered flame propagation was suggested, which includes three stages: propagation into the hydrogen area, downward propagation due to the product gas, and horizontal propagation along the top wall. To investigate the effect of the ignition source location, simulations with eight different positions were performed, and the boundary of hazardous ignition area was identified. The simulation results were also explained through scaling analysis. This study evaluates the potential risk of the accumulated hydrogen in geological repository, and illustrates the layered flame propagation in related ignition scenarios.

Due to pronounced mechanical performance and being environmental friendly, aqueous polymer isocyanate adhesive (API) has been widely applied in the production of formaldehyde-free wood products. In this study, flame retardant formaldehyde-free plywood was prepared by incorporation of flame retardants into the API adhesive. Partially phosphorylated poly (vinyl alcohol) (PPVA) which was prepared by reacting poly (vinyl alcohol) with phosphoric acid was used to replace PVA in API formula. In addition, Mg-Al layered double hydroxides (LDH) was chosen as additive flame retardant, replacing traditional filler CaCO₃ in API adhesive formula. And then, the flame retardant API adhesive with main agent (PPVA replacing PVA70wt.%, SBR emulsion 30wt.%), curing agent 10wt.% (accounts for of the main agent), and 20wt.% LDHs (accounts of the main agent) was used to prepare flame retardant plywood. The effect of application of PPVA and Mg-Al LDH on bonding strength of plywood was investigated. The flammability characteristics of the plywood were determined by cone calorimeter test (CCT). The results revealed that compared with the plywood prepared with API adhesive, the use of PPVA and LDH enhanced the flame retardancy of plywood without negatively affecting bonding strength. The CCT tests indicated that the heat release and smoke production flame retardant API plywood were lower than those of the ordinary API glued plywood. Promising developments for flame retardant API adhesive were expected in future applications of flame retardant formaldehyde-free plywood.

올레인산으로 유기변성된 ZnAl-LDH(SO-ZnAl LDH)를 합성하여 브롬화 에폭시 수지(BER) 및 산화안티몬을 포함하는 난연 ABS 컴파운드에 첨가하였다. 난연 ABS 컴파운드는 동일방향으로 회전하는 이축압출기를 통해 제조되었고 난연성 및 기계적 성질을 측정하기 위한 시편으로 사출성형 되었다. ABS 나노복합재료의 XRD 패턴에서는 피크가 나타나지 않았다. SOZnAl LDH를 포함하는 난연 ABS 나노복합재료는 TGA 시험 결과 향상된 내열성을 보였다. 그러나, 난연 ABS 나노복합재료들은 UL 94 수직시험(1.6 mm 두께)시 등급을 얻지 못했다. BER를 1.5 wt% 이상 더 첨가한 경우들에서만 UL 94 V0 등급을 얻을 수 있었다. SO-ZnAl LDH의 첨가량에 비례하여 난연 ABS 나노복합재료의 노치드 아이조드 충격강도, 인장탄성률 및 신율은 증가하였으나 유동지수는 감소하였다.

Natural clays are composed of oxide layers whose thickness is about 1nm and cations existing between the layers. A number of these layers makes primary particles with a height of about 8∼10nm and these primary particles make aggregates with a size of about 0.1∼10$\mu\textrm{m}$. When layered silicate was made to be organophilic, by exchanging the interlayer cations with organic cationic molecules, the matrix polymer can penetrate between the layers to give a nanocomposite, where 1nm-scal clay layers exist separately in a continuous polymer matrix. These nanostructured hybrid organic-inorganic composites have attracted the great interest of researchers over the last 10 years. They exhibit improved performance properties compared with conventional composites, because their unique phase morphology by layer intercalation or exfoliation maximizes interfacial contact between the organic and inorganic phases and enhances interfacial properties. Since the advent of nylon-6/montmorillonite nanocomposite developed by Toyota Motor Co., the studies on layered silicate-polymer nanocomposites have been successfully extended to other polymer systems. They greatly improved the thermal, mechanical, barrier, and even the flame-retardant properties of the polymers.

복합자재(샌드위치패널)는 불연성재료인 양면 철판 또는 이와 유사한 재료와 불연성이 아닌 재료인 심재로 구성된다. 단열재를 가연성 재료로 사용하는 샌드위치패널은 화재 시 철판 내부로 화염이 확산되어 외부에서 진화가 어렵고 화염의 확산이 빠르게 진행되어 건물의 붕괴를 야기할 수 있다. 현행 건축법에 의해 샌드위치패널은 건축물의 용도 및 규모에 따라 난연성능을 확보하도록 하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 일부 외벽에 적용되는 화재확산방지구조를 복합자재에 적용하여 실제 규모의 화재시험을 통해 그 효과를 측정하였으며 향후 복합자재에서도 화재확산방지구조의 적용을 통해 복합자재 건축물의 화재안전 확보 가능성을 제시하였다.

Functionally graded materials (FGM) of PSZ/NiCrAlY on Inconel substrate were fabricated by detonation gun spraying method. A thick ceramic layer generally has a high thermal barrier effect however, because failure often occurs, the use of an FGM layer gives an advantage in thermal property. During the thermal shock test, micro fracture processes were detected by the AE method. Also, the thermal shock test was performed for NFGM, FGM and the changed FGM in the layered composition profile. It was found through AE testing and the observation of fracture surface that FGM was superior to NFGM in thermal shock properties. The linear or metal-rich type FGM in composition profile had the best resisting property among the FGM. It was found that the controlled composition profile of the graded layers had better thermal properties.

In this study, some materials are organized and experimented with variables to obtain the optimum mix proportion for the mechanical property of halogen free flame resistance compound with varying addition of nano clay. Tensile strength, density and stiffness are tested in the room temperature. In this study, unlike existing layered structure, nano clay with tabular structure is used and sufficient stiffness, strength, thermal stability and gas block capability can be achieved with small amount of addition. Tensile strength and elongation test show high rupture strength only in specimens with compatibilizing agents while density test shows average measurement in all the specimens except T-9. It was confirmed that the measurement value according to the additives in compatibilizing agent or in nano clay of hardness test represents similarly.

Nanotechnology is the fast becoming key technology of the $21^{st}$ century. Due to its fascinating size-dependent properties, it has gained significant important in various sectors. Myths are being formed on the proverbal nanotechnology market, but the reality is the nanotechnology is not a market but a value chain. The chain comprises of - nanomaterials (nanoparticles) and nanointermediates (coatings, compounds, smart fabrics). Elastomer based nanocomposites reinforced with low volume fraction of nanofillers is the first generation nanotechnology products and it has attracted great interest due to their fascinating properties. The incorporation of nanofillers such as nanolayered silicates, carbon nanotubes, nanofibers, metal oxides or silica nanoparticles into elastomers improves significantly their mechanical, thermal, barrier properties, flame retardency etc., Extremely small particle size, high aspect ratio and large interface area yield an excellent improvement of the properties in a wide variety of the materials. Uniform dispersion of the nanofillers is a general prerequisite for achieving desired properties. In this paper, current developments in the area of elastomer based nanocomposites reinforced with layered silicate and carbon nanotube fillers are highlighted.
