Abstract | ||
Food waste or vehicle rubber tyres were used to make activated carbon and carbon nanotubes. Activated carbon was made by two different activation methods: first, phosphoric acid and later potassium hydroxide. These particles were developed that could be easily integrated and effectively dispersed into polymers. Fire tests like ignitability, limiting oxy-index, and thermal stability were carried out using wood specimens painted with polymers where specimens showed far extent in fire retarding. | ||
