Flame Retardancy of Bio-base Plastics

This paper describes the evaluation of the flame resistance on bio-based polymer (BBP) and developing inedible woody biomass plastic. Nano aluminum hydroxide nano-Al(OH)3) was used as flame retardant for polyolifin. The effect of nano-Al(OH)3) on flame retardancy of polyolefin was reported. We also developed flame test metho by informing flammability of the combustion process from multi-cone calorimeter. In this research, we studied flame retardancy of poly(lactic acid) and reported flammability of polymer materials by rating of UL-94 using the relationship of heat released rate and time of ignition in multi-cone calorimeter.
