Abstract
, marking a 33.2% and 29.9% reduction compared to the EVA composite containing 60 wt% MHx (EVA/MHx60) and EVA composite containing 60 wt% MHy (EVA/MHy60), respectively. Additionally, the tensile strength of EVA/MHz60 is improved by 101.6% and 76.4% compared to that of EVA/MHx60 and EVA/MHy60, respectively. The improvement in tensile strength of the EVA/MHz60 composite can be attributed to the nanoscale and uniform dispersion of MHz with hexagonal morphology, which can enhance the interfacial adhesion with the EVA matrix, thus the flame retardant and mechanical properties of the composite can be improved simultaneously.
