Poly(4-methyl-1-pentene) (PMP) based composite filled with magnesium hydroxide (MDH) as a non-halogenated flame retardant was prepared and its thermal, mechanical, electrical, and morphological properties were studied. Changes in the properties of the prepared composites as a function of electron beam (EB) irradiation were also investigated. The results show that the incorporation of MDH significantly enhanced the fire performance and thermal stability of PMP/PP. However, excessive addition of MDH made the PMP/PP/MDH composites brittle, and consequently, fractures occurred at small deformations. The insulation resistance test confirms that there is the same change tendency as the tensile strength of PMP/PP/MDH composites which increases up to 10 wt% of MDH and then decrease thereafter. However, EB irradiation without a crosslinking agent substantially degrades these properties.
비할로겐계 난연제인 수산화마그네슘(MDH)으로 충전된 폴리(4-메틸-1-펜텐) (PMP)을 기반으로 한 복합체를 제작하여 열적, 기계적, 전기적 및 미세구조 연구를 진행하였다. 제작된 복합체의 전자선(EB) 조사량에 따른 이들 특성 변화 또한 연구 하였다. MDH의 충전은 PMP/PP의 화재 성능과 열적 안정성을 현저히 향상시켰으나, MDH를 너무 많이 충전시키면 PMP/PP/MDH 복합체를 취화시켜 결과적으로 작은 변형에서도 파괴를 일으켰다. 절연저항 시험을 통해 10 wt%의 MDH까지 증가하다가 이후 감소하는 PMP/PP/MDH 복합체의 인장 강도 변화와 동일한 경향이 있음을 확인하였다. 반면 가교제 없이 시행된 전자선 조사는 상기한 특성들을 실질적으로 감소시켰다.
