Cover Story: In this study, halogen-free flame-retardant (HFFR) polyolefin compounds, intended for electric cables, are produced by blending linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) and ethylene–octene copolymers (C8-POE) with natural magnesium hydroxide (n-MDH) as a flame retardant. The influence of crystallinity, which is modulated by varying the ratio of LLDPE to C8-POE and the presence of n-MDH, on the mechanical properties and fire performance of the resulting composites is evaluated. The results highlight the role of crystallinity in enhancing the tensile strength, elastic modulus, and flame resistance. View this paper
