- In this UK-China collaboration, graphene nanosheet (GNS) barrier layers are combined with nickel aluminium layered double hydroxide (NiAl-LDH) as char forming additives to achieve excellent flammability reduction in PMMA. This work is remarkable because the barrier effect from GNS, suppressing the end-chain scission of PMMA to monomer, combines with the char promotion of NiAl-LDH to create a low-flammability composite. This paper has led to over 60 reported follow-up studies, with over a quarter applying the approach to other polymers and 12% adapting our synthetic approach.
