Inclusion of modified nano-magnesium hydroxide as an adjuvant flame retardant in the development of PLA/hydroxyapatite nanocomposites.

ABSTRACT: For the preparation of thermal stable and flame-retardant polylactic acid (PLA) nanocomposites two new modified nano-structures including imide-carboxylated chitosan modified Mg(OH)₂ (ICMH) and imide-silane functionalized hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (ISHA) were prepared. The structure, morphology, and properties of ICMH and ISHA were investigated using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The PLA nanocomposites were prepared via solution casting method. The results of Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and SEM indicated a homogeneous structure for the PLA nanocomposites. The TGA results revealed that the presence of hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (HA
