This illustration provides important indication to understand a widely reported but poorly identified phenomena of catalysing effect of different ions, materials, or compounds present in MMT during the combustion of PA6/MMT nanocomposites.}, conference = {3rd International conference on structural nano composites (NANOSTRUC 2016)}, note = {COMPLETED -- JN co-editor of conference, rec'd permission from him 6/9/2018 LM -- Info via contact 3/9/2018 LM ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Siddique, Shohel ; Njuguna, James ; Yates, Kyari -- Panel B}, publicationstatus = {Unpublished}, url = {http://hdl.handle.net/10059/3185}, keyword = {Flammability, PA6/MMT, Nanocomposites, Flame retardant additives, Thermal stability}, author = {Siddique, Shohel and Yates, Kyari and Njuguna, James} }
