Nanocomposites of polypropylene-graft-maleic anhydride with organically modified clays have been prepared and characterized by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. Their combustion behavior has been evaluated using oxygen consumption cone calorimetry. Synergy is observed between the nanocomposite formed and conventional vapor phase fire retardants, such as the combination of decabromodiphenyloxide and antimony oxide. The presence of bromine and antimony does not affect the heat release rate curves of the virgin polymer.
Vibrational Spectra And Assignments Of Cis- And Trans-1,4-Polybutadiene, P. Nallasamy, P.M. Anbarasan, S. Mohan
Vibrational Spectra And Assignments Of Cis- And Trans-1,4-Polybutadiene, P. Nallasamy, P.M. Anbarasan, S. Mohan
Turkish Journal of Chemistry
The Raman spectra of cis- and trans-1,4- polybutadiene were recorded in the region 100-4000 cm^{-1} and its infrared spectra were also measured in the wave number range 200--4000 cm^{-1}. The spectra were completely analysed. Probable assignments to observed bands were made with the help of intensities and normal co-ordinate analysis. The calculated normal frequencies were in good agreement with the experimental ones.
