Organically modified layered double hydroxide (OM-LDH) was synthesized via anion exchange reaction and potassium monolauryl phosphate (MAPK) was used as an intercalator. The OM-LDH nanofillers were embedded into low-density polyethylene/ethylene–vinyl acetate (LDPE/EVA) via melt blending process which provided LDPE/EVA/OM-LDH nanocomposites. The structure and properties of the fabricated samples were characterized through Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction techniques, scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, and tensile testing. The results showed that the organic anion was intercalated into the interlayer region of LDH and enlarged the interlayer distance. The TGA results of the nanocomposites showed significantly improved thermal stability at a higher temperature when containing 6 wt% OM-LDH due to the good dispersion of OM-LDH in the matrix. The DSC data indicated that the degree of crystallinity was increased obviously due to the incorporation of OM-LDH in the matrix. The formation of organic side chains on the OM-LDH surface also contributed to an improvement in the interfacial adhesion, resulting in enhanced tensile strength and elongation at break compared with LDH.

A novel intumescent flame retardant low-density polyethylene (LDPE) composite was prepared based on bamboo fiber (BF) and silica-gel microencapsulated ammonium polyphosphate (MCAPP). The synergistic effects between BF and MCAPP on the flame retardant and thermal properties of flame retardant LDPE composites were investigated. The results show that the flame retardant properties of LDPE composites are influenced by the weight ratio of BF and MCAPP. The higher content of MCAPP, the better flame retardant property can be obtained. When the ratio of BF/MCAPP is 1:1, the flame retardant LDPE composite shows excellent flame retardant properties.
