Sample PP 0 % PP/DOPO 0.32 wt% PP/DOPO 5 wt% PP/SiO2 5 wt% PP/SiO2 10 wt% PP/SiO2–WD70 5 wt% PP/SiO2–WD70–DOPO 5 wt% PP/(SiO2+DOPO) 5 wt%
T1% 260 260 257 261 263 258 272 256
T50% 315 327 330 341 365 334 377 329
Tmax 318 340 354 371 386 340 408 369

T1% is the temperature at which 1 wt% weight loss occurs and Tmax is the temperature at peak of the derivative TGA curve
