Three polymer/silica nanocomposites were prepared by a single-screw extrusion approach: poly(methyl methacrylate), polystyrene and polycarbonate/silica nanocomposites. The resulting nanocomposites were subjected to comprehensive studies of mechanical, thermal and flammability properties. All materials showed improved mechanical performance and thermal stabilities, although they are not strictly flame retardant when subjected to fire tests like Oxygen Index or horizontal Bunsen burner tests. However, the nanocomposites showed reduction in peak heat release rates and total heat release when evaluated by cone calorimetry. Moreover, the polycarbonate showed improvement in flammability according to vertical burning tests. All polycarbonate materials subjected to vertical burning testing are V2 rated, but after flame times with 1% silica were significantly reduced. A flame retardant mechanism is proposed in order to understand the relationship between interfacial interaction and flammability of polymer/silica nanocomposites.
