Abstract

Bismuth subcarbonate ((BiO)₂CO₃·xH ₂O) nanoplate, a bismuth-containing layered nanomaterial, is successfully applied in improving fire safety properties of polymers for the first time. The introduction of (BiO)₂CO₃·xH ₂O (≤6.2 wt%) into poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) matrix by in situ polymerization method enhances the thermal stability, flame retardancy and smoke suppression properties remarkably including increased onset degradation temperature (Tbsubesub by 58 C) and mid-point degradation temperature (Tbsubesub by 24C), and decreased peak heat release rate, total heat release, toxic volatile organic products (VOP) and smoke density. Morphological studies of PMMA/(BiO);bsubesubbsubesub.
