  Abstract

Polylactide (PLA) composites containing a flame retardant, ammonium polyphosphate (APP), and short rayon fiber were prepared by direct melting compounding in a brabender. The limiting oxygen index of the neat PLA sample was only 20.5%, which was increased to 29% by adding 15 wt% APP and 15% rayon to the PLA matrix (sample A15R15) as an example. During the UL-94 vertical flammability test, flame dripping was further avoided by adding the rayon fiber, and a V-0 rating was achieved. The char residue determined by thermogravimetric analysis increased with increasing APP content in the PLA composites. However, the PLA composite revealed a loss in mechanical tensile modulus and strength due to the APP addition, which was improved when rayon fiber was added to replace a portion of APP.
