摘要

The static and dynamic mechanical properties and fire behaviors for long-glass-fiber reinforced polyamide 6 composite filled with organo-modified montmorillonite/brominated epoxy resins/antimony trioxide (OMMT/FR/LGFPA6) have been investigated by comparison with the formulation without OMMT (FR/LGFPA6), being dealt with accelerated aging condition. Relative to the unaged composites, both aged composites presented the improved static mechanical properties after 10-day aging, the increased degree of cross-linking in the amorphous region, and the increased LOI value as well as maintained the optimal UL-94 rating. However, after a long-time aging exposure, the aged FR/LGFPA6 composite was more flammable and its mechanical properties were more severely impacted by aging. Remarkably, substitution of a certain content of halogen-antimony flame retardants with OMMT not only slowed down the rate of degradation but also weakened the flammability for FR/LGFPA6 composite over the whole period of aging.
