Talc is a popular filler for the fabrication of plastic composites. The presence of talc helps improve mechanical, thermal, and flame\nresistance properties of the composite. In this work, we report the influence of a talc-filled plastic shell layer on thermal stability and\nfire flammability of the core-shell structured wood high-density polyethylene (HDPE) composites manufactured through\ncoextrusion. The result showed that morphological analysis of the char layer after combustion confirmed the formation of a\ncontinuous surface char layer with talc addition in the composites, helping block fire penetration and enhance overall fire\nresistance of the composites. The shell thickness averaged at...................
