Abstract:
Poly(ethylene vinylacetate)/clay nanocomposites were prepared by a "one pot" method, using Cloisite-Na+ with a compatibilizer at different ratios. The nano-composite prepared was used to prepare a flame retarding polymeric foams. Flame retarding properties were examined by the limiting oxygen index and cone calorimetry. CO and CO2 production were reduced remarkably by using the nanocomposite in EVA blends.

Molecular Weight of Step-Growth Polymers
As the step-growth polymerization involves step-wise condensation of monomers, the molecular weight also builds up eventually. Consequently, high molecular weight polymers are obtained at the late stages of the polymerization, where 99% of monomers have been consumed.
