- Abstract:A novel combination of graphene nanosheets (GNSs) with carbon black (CB) was demonstrated to significantly improve the thermal stability, flame retardancy and mechanical properties of linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE). The temperature at the maximum weight loss rate of LLDPE under an air flow was dramatically increased by 94.3 °C, and the peak value of the heat release rate of the LLDPE nanocomposite measured by a cone calorimeter was obviously reduced from 1466 to 297 kW m−2 (by 80%). According to the results from rheological tests and structural characterization of residual chars, the
