Abstract  

HFPA6/mMCA and HFPA6/MCA composites were prepared by means of molten blending the high flow-ability polyamide 6 (HFPA6) with the graphene oxide modified melamine cyanuric (mMCA) and the unmodified melamine cyanuric (MCA) respectively. The structure of MCA and mMCA, as well as the flame retardant properties, thermal stability and mechanical properties of the two HFPA 6 composites were characterized. Results show that the flame retardancy, tensile strength, flexural strength and charring of the HFPA6/mMCA composite are superior to that of the HFPA 6/MCA composite, while the impact strength of HFPA6/mMCA composite is slightly lower. When the content of flame retardants mMCA is 14%, the flame retardancy of HFPA6/mMCA composite reaches the UL 94 V-0 rating.

Key words:  composites      high flow-ability nylon 6      melamine cyanurate      graphene oxide      flame retardancy
