PREPARATION OF BORIC ACID MODIFIED EXPANDABLE GRAPHITE AND ITS INFLUENCE ON POLYETHYLENE COMBUSTION CHARACTERISTICS

A boric acid modified expandable graphite (EG B) was prepared through oxidizing-intercalating reaction of natural graphite, using H2SO4 and boric acid (H3BO3) as intercalators simultaneously. The dilatability of the intercalated products were characterized with expansion volume and initial expansion...
