- Abstract:Recently, an intensive research effort has been devoted to the fabrication of polymer composites with enhanced physical and chemical properties. In this work, the combination of carbon fibers (CFs) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) was demonstrated to show a synergistic effect on improving the thermal stability and flame retardancy of polypropylene (PP). The results of morphology characterization indicated that both CFs and CNTs were well dispersed in the PP matrix. The temperature at the maximum weight loss rate of PP under an air atmosphere was dramatically increased by 93.4 °C, and the peak value
