Abstract: This paper reviews the latest research development of three polyolefin nanocomposites containing carbon nanotubes. The discussed materials are mainly those composed of multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT), including EVA/MWCNT/LS/ATH composites which exhibit the flame retardant synergism, and show promising of using as nonhalogen flame retardant insulation for wires and cables.

Key words: carbon nanotube, nanocomposite, flame retardancy, polyolefin
