Abstract
⺠The presence of clay in the PLA matrix favours ignition. ⺠The ignition is attributed to catalysed oxidation of the gases generated by PLA decomposition. ⺠The catalytic effect avoids the unstable burning stage in LOI nanocomposite testing. ⺠The presence of clay decreases PLA combustion rate both in the cone calorimeter and in LOI apparatus.
