Abstract
Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) nanocomposites were prepared by a "one step" method based on the coprecipitation of layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanosheets in the polymer aqueous solution. The morphology, fire resistance properties, mechanical and optical properties of the PVA/LDH nanocomposites were studied. The LDH nanosheets were homogeneously dispersed in the PVA matrix as indicated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) characterization. Meanwhile, the peak of heat release rate (pHRR) and total heat release (THR) were decreased by 58% and 28%, respectively. Storage modulus at 30 °C was increased, and the transmittance of more than 90% at the visible region was obtained upon addition of 5 wt% LDH.
