ABSTRACT
Studies of thermal and fire resistant properties of the polypropylene/multi-walled carbon nanotube composites (PP/MWCNT) prepared by means of melt intercalation are discussed. The sets of the data acquired with the aid of non-isothermal thermogravimetric (TG) experiments have been treated by the model kinetic analysis. The thermal-oxidative degradation behavior of PP/MWCNT and stabilizing effect caused by addition of multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) has been investigated by means of thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy.
