Abstract Self‐reinforced poly(propylene) (PP) composites were produced by film‐stacking using carded mats of α ‐isotactic PP fibers and films of β ‐isotactic PP. Composite sheets were produced at various consolidation temperatures ( T = 150–170°C) and constant holding time ( t = 2 min). In a test series the holding ti…

The encapsulated copper atoms inside a defected single-walled carbon nanotube escape from the tube through the defect hole as the temperature increases. This causes the partially confined copper nanowires (CNWs) to undergo special structural transformations from a solid to a distinguishable helical layered structure a…

Abstract The profound effect on flame retardancy of the blending of small amounts of clay with polymers is believed to be due to the formation of a protective clay‐rich char barrier on the surface of the pyrolyzing polymer during combustion. The mode of formation of this barrier is discussed, in view of recent results…
