Influence of mica mineral on flame retardancy and mechanical properties of intumescent flame retardant polypropylene composites

In many plastic applications, improvement of the flame retardancy is a very significant topic. Polypropylene (PP) is used in many applications such as housing industry due to its cost performance efficiency. Enhancement of flame retardancy properties of PP is necessary in many applications. In this...
