Elucidating the catalytic effect of metal ions in montmorillonite on thermal degradation of organic modifier

A key parameter influencing ignition, heat of combustion and charring of polymer/clay (montmorillonite, MMT) nanocomposites during combustion is the catalytic activity of clay. This work explores the effect of metal ions (MIs) like Mg2+, Al3+ and Fe3+ that are inherent to clay in altering the kineti...
