- Abstract:A novel combined catalyst of activated carbon (AC) with Ni2O3 was demonstrated to be much more efficient than AC or Ni2O3 alone in enhancing the char yield of polypropylene (PP) and improving its char layer structure, which greatly improved the thermal stability and flame retardancy of PP. The results of X-ray diffraction, field-emission scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope revealed that the residual char mainly consisted of carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Thermal gravimetric analyses results indicated that the combination of AC and Ni2O3 dramatically enhanced the thermal
