| Abstract Scope |
The large amount of plastic waste found in the environment, landfills and dumps boost research into the recycling of polymer materials, which could reduce the amount of polymer discarded. In Brazil, the sector that most consumes polymers is the civil construction that could consume recycled polymers without concerns with the properties due to applications of low mechanical exigency. However, for applications in this sector it is necessary that the materials have some resistance to the propagation of flames. This work discusses the flame retardance in nanocomposites with recycled polystyrene matrix and particles of nanoargila, titanium dioxide and gypsum. The results of the XRD, TG, FE-SEM and flammability test showed that the particles can delay the propagation of flame in the material due to interaction with the polymer and the flame retardant present in the recycled
material. |
