RESUMO

Poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC), copper (II), molybdenum and zinc oxides, and organically modified montmorillonite nanocomposites were prepared in a melt blending intercalation process. The morphology of the nanocomposites was evaluated using X-ray diffractometry (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and indirectly by the increment of the Young modulus of the formulations studied. The modeling of the Young modulus showed that the process of nanocomposite preparation allowed the increase of the aspect ratio of the clay particles, whose values were comparable to those nanocomposites obtained by other researchers, using different polymeric matrices and methodologies. Combustion and smoke emission properties, when studied using cone calorimetry at a radiant flux of 50 kW m-2, revealed that the metallic oxides have a significant effect on both combustion and smoke suppression properties, mainly those closely linked with safety in fire situations, retarding heat and smoke release, and lowering their absolute values. The presence of O-MMT only affects these properties discretely, and little interaction was observed in the joint use of these additives. Results also provide indications that the combination of the CuO and MoO3 present the best balance of combustion properties, as it reduced the heat released and promoted the suppression of smoke more efficiently. The formulations containing ZnO, because of their strong Lewis acid character, indicated a less pronounced reduction of smoke released during the combustion process, when compared with copper (II) and molybdenum oxides
