Silica particles of different physical properties (particle size, morphology and specific surface area) were introduced into an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer filled with an intumescent mineral fire retardant system containing magnesium hydroxide and organo-modified montmorillonites. The effect of silica particles on the cohesion and strength of the foamed combustion residue was studied by micro-indentation, concurrently with the characterization of material's fire behavior.Silica particles seem to act as defects that generate cracks, decreasing the strength of the residue. This generation of cracks is connected to a lower cohesion of the residue, especially for silica particles of high specific surface area. In parallel, the presence of silica of high specific surface area, despite tending to decrease Time To Ignition, also improves self-extinguishing ability, thanks to a better thermal stability at higher temperatures, and reduces the maximum Heat Release Rate in cone calorimeter tests. 相似文献

In this study, we evaluated the potential flame retardant effect of calcium-based hydrated minerals, such as hydrated lime, partially and completely hydrated dolomitic limes in polyethylene (MDPE) and ethylene vinyl acetate copolymers (EVA) and compared to that obtained with magnesium di-hydroxide (MDH). The most significant flame retardant effects, observed using the mass loss calorimeter test, indicated that Ca-based MDPE composites showed similar peak Heat Release Rate (pHRR) level to that obtained with MDH composite while the pHRR was lower for Ca-based fillers in EVA compositions. X-ray Diffraction (XRD) data, combined with thermal analysis results, indicated that the calcium di-hydroxide plays a role in the formation of an intumescent cohesive residue during the combustion. Indeed, Ca(OH)2 reacts with CO2 formed during the thermal degradation of the polymer to generate CaCO3 (calcium carbonate) that contributes to the enhancement of the mechanical resistance of the residue. 相似文献

The combination of organophillised montmorillonite (MMT), synthetic hydromagnesite and aluminium hydroxide (ATH) as flame retardant system for polyethylene-based materials was studied and compared with a similar system with magnesium hydroxide, ATH and MMT. The thermal stability and the flame retardant properties were evaluated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential thermal analysis (DTA), limiting oxygen index (LOI) and cone calorimeter tests. The results indicated that the addition of montmorillonite makes it possible to reduce the total filler content to achieve the flame retardant requirements. The thermal stability of filled LDPE/EVA blends increases to a higher extent for the samples containing MMT. In the cone calorimeter tests we observed a reduction of the peak heat release rate for the sample containing montmorillonite in comparison with a sample with higher filler loading without this nanoclay. An increase of the stability of the char formed could be responsible for this favourable behaviour when montmorillonite is added.In addition, mechanical properties significantly improved for the composites containing montmorillonite both for the filler loading reduction and the reinforcement effect of the nanoclay. 相似文献

Naturally occurring mixtures of hydromagnesite and huntite have found important industrial use. Their endothermic decomposition over a temperature range similar to that of commonly used polymers and their release of water and carbon dioxide, has led to such mixtures being successfully used as fire retardants. They have replaced aluminium hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide in many applications. The current understanding of the thermal decomposition mechanism of both minerals and their combination in natural mixtures has been reviewed and related to their fire retardant action. Both minerals contribute to the reduction in flammability of polymers although the extent of these interactions has not been fully investigated. However, the fire retardant mechanism of these minerals appears more complicated than either aluminium hydroxide or magnesium hydroxide. 相似文献

A recently developed laser pyrolysis (LP)-Raman/ATR micro-spectroscopic method was applied for analyzing the degradation of polymer systems. The concept behind the method is to combine the micro-scale modelling of fire circumstances with analytical monitoring of the chemical changes in the solid phase of the sample. Samples were irradiated with the infrared beam of a CO2 laser. The chemical changes were determined by micro-Raman/ATR spectroscopy methods in 200 ms intervals. The applicability of the method is demonstrated here through the pyrolysis of EVA and EVA composites containing metal-modified clays. Rapid depth profiling of few milligrams of sample is feasible with Raman detection, while the ATR sensor is applicable for analysis of fluorescent samples such as Fe coated sepiolite. The acceleration effect of montmorillonite and sepiolite minerals on the degradation of EVA is more pronounced if their surface is coated with Fe atoms. The effects of laser and the cone heater on the ratio of characteristic Raman bands of the polymer are compared and found to be in good correlation. 相似文献

Synthetic hydromagnesite obtained from an industrial by-product was evaluated as a non-halogenated flame retardant. It was used in combination with aluminium hydroxide (ATH) and compared with commercial flame retardants like magnesium hydroxide (MH) and natural hydromagnesite-huntite (U) in a polyolefin system of low-density polyethylene/poly(ethylene-co-vinyl acetate) (LDPE/EVA).The thermal stability and flame behaviour of the halogen free flame retarded composites were studied by thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA), limiting oxygen index (LOI), epiradiateur and cone calorimeter. It has been shown that synthetic hydromagnesite could be an alternative solution to the use of MH in non-halogenated flame retardant systems in EVA. 相似文献

The effects of non-treated (MMT), organophilic (OMM), and olefin/silicone polymer intercalated (IMM) montmorillonites on the thermal stability of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) and on the flammability of magnesium hydroxide filled EVA were studied. The influence of various treatments on the delamination of montmorillonites in EVA was detected by rheological measurements and by Raman microscopy. The latter was a unique method for rapid detection of the dispersion also in highly filled EVA. Enhancement of thermo-oxidative stability of EVA and flame-retarded EVA could be observed by thermal analysis in the presence of variously treated montmorillonites. The flame-retardant efficiency of magnesium hydroxide was improved by simultaneous application of MMT and IMM. The increased performance of magnesium hydroxide was explained by the rheological effect of the IMM, catalytic effect of MMT and chemical interactions of montmorillonites with the metal hydroxide. 相似文献

In this work, Fe‐montmorillonite (Fe‐MMT) is synthesized and used as a synergistic agent in ethylene vinyl acetate/magnesium hydroxide (EVA/MH) flame retardant formulations. The synergistic effect of Fe‐MMT with magnesium hydroxide (MH) as the halogen‐free flame retardant for ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) is studied by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), limiting the oxygen index (LOI), UL‐94, and cone calorimetry test. Compared with that of Na‐MMT, it indicates that the synergistic effects of Fe‐MMT enhance the LOI value of EVA/MH polymer and improve the thermal stability and reduce the heat release rate (HRR). The structure and morphology of nanocomposites are studied by X‐ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The mechanical properties of the EVA composites have also been studied here, indicating that the use of Fe‐MMT reduces the amount of inorganic fillers. MH hence enhances the mechanical properties of the EVA composite while keeping the UL‐94 V‐0 rating. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

Synergistic effects of novolac-based char former with magnesium hydroxide in flame retardant polyamide-6 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

In this paper, a novel synergistic flame retardant system containing magnesium hydroxide (MH) and methyl-blocked novolac (MBN) synthesized by Williamson ether route, were used for the flame retardance of polyamide-6 (PA6). The investigations showed that the thermal oxidative stability of MBN was obviously enhanced in the presence of MH compared with virgin novolac due to the decrease of phenol hydroxide groups subjected to be oxidized. It proved that MBN plays double roles: on the one hand, it remarkably promotes char formation and effectively eliminates the melt drips of PA6, therefore endows the materials with good flame retardancy; on the other hand, it also serves as an efficient lubricant and compatibilizer between MH and PA6, leading to the great improvement of the processability, as well as finer dispersion of MH in matrix, thus the flame retardant PA6 with good comprehensive performance can be obtained. 相似文献

Composites of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer with two different layered double hydroxides have been obtained by melt blending and these have been characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, thermogravimetric analysis connected to mass spectroscopy and cone calorimetry. There is some small difference in dispersion between the zinc-containing and the magnesium-containing layered double hydroxides in EVA, but both these are microcomposites with good dispersion at the micrometer level and relatively poor dispersion at the nanometer level. There is a good reduction in the peak heat release rate at 10% LDH loading. In addition to chain stripping, which involves the simultaneous loss of both acetate and a hydrogen atom, forming acetic acid, and the formation of poly(ethylene-co-acetylene), side chain fragmentation of the acetate group also occurs and may be the dominant pathway of thermal degradation in the first step. The presence of the LDH causes acetone, rather than acetic acid, to be evolved in the initial step of the degradation. 相似文献

This paper reports a study of mineral oil diffusion through a filled ethylene-vinyl acetate crosslinked polymer, together with some comparisons with aliphatic linear hydrocarbons. Permeation was monitored by classical gravimetric measurements leading to values of solubility and diffusion coefficient at several temperatures ranging from 20 to 120 °C. Diffusion coefficients display a change in activation energy at at ca. 70 °C for mineral oils but not for simple hydrocarbons. The values obtained were discussed regarding available structure-diffusivity relationships and diffusion models derived from free volume theory. A relationship between penetrant evaporation temperature and its diffusivity was observed and tentatively justified. 相似文献

Preparation and properties of compatibilized LDPE/organo-modified montmorillonite nanocomposites 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Nanocomposites based on low density polyethylene, containing of 3 or 6 wt.% of organo-modified montmorillonite nanoclay (MMT-ODA) and maleic anhydride grafted low density polyethylene as a compatibilizer were prepared by melt mixing and characterized. Exfoliation of silicate layers was achieved, as confirmed by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. The compatibilized nanocomposites exhibit improved thermal stability in air as compared to neat polyethylene and nonexfoliated MMT-ODA composite. The crystallinity and crystallization kinetics of polyethylene matrix is not affected significantly by the presence of MMT-ODA clay. Drawability of the compatibilized nanocomposite with 6 wt.% of MMT-ODA is similar to neat polyethylene, whereas the composition having the same amount of MMT-ODA, without compatibilizer, exhibits poorer drawability. Scanning electron microscopy and density measurements of drawn samples indicate the existence of pores in noncompatibilized composite while no pores and good adhesion to MMT-ODA are found in compatibilized nanocomposites. 相似文献

The reinforcing effects of highly effective flame retardant magnesium hydroxide (FMX) content on the tensile and flexural properties of filled polypropylene (PP) composites were investigated within the FMX weight fraction range from 5 to 60 wt%. It was found that the Young's modulus and flexural modulus increased approximately linearly while the tensile yield strength and tensile fracture strength decreased slightly with increasing the FMX weight fraction. When the FMX weight fraction was lower than 20%, the tensile elongation at break decreased considerably, and then decreased slightly; the flexural strength increased when the FMX weight fraction was lower than 30%, and then decreased slightly. The tensile properties increased with increasing rate of tension. Moreover, the tensile yield strength of the composites was estimated using an equation proposed in previous work, and good agreement was shown between the predicted and the measured data. 相似文献

Low-grade magnesium hydroxide (LG-MH) is a solid by-product that undergoes an endothermic decomposition in the temperature range of 300-750 °C. Due to its thermal behaviour and its lower cost relative to pure Mg(OH)2, it was studied as a non-halogenated flame retardant filler in a 28% vinyl acetate (VA) content poly(ethylene-co-vinyl acetate) matrix. The solid was characterized by XRF and the crystalline phases determined by XRD, composed predominantly of Mg(OH)2 and calcium and magnesium carbonates. Particle size reduction was performed by both mechanical as well as air jet milling in order to optimize the particle size distribution.Composites with different filler concentrations were prepared to evaluate the mechanical properties and flame retardancy by means of limiting oxygen index tests. LOI was also determined in specimens filled with commercial flame-retardants to analyse the effectiveness of this solid. 相似文献

A comparison of the fire retardancy of poly(methyl methacrylate) using montmorillonite, layered double hydroxide and kaolinite 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Montmorillonite, layered double hydroxide and kaolinite, have been used to make (nano)composites with poly(methyl methacrylate). X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy were used to characterize the morphology and the thermal stability and fire properties have been studied by thermogravimetric analysis and cone calorimetry. The results show that LDH and MMT are better dispersed in PMMA than is kaolinite; the MMT layers have a higher aspect ratio than does the LDH. PMMA + MMT and PMMA + LDH composites have higher thermal stability than PMMA + kaolinite composite. The peak of heat release rate reduction is 55% for the PMMA + MMT composite at 10%, 45% for PMMA + LDH and 23% for PMMA-kaolinite. 相似文献

Ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) flame retarded by ammonium polyphosphate (APP) and pentaerythritol (PER) was cross-linked by electron beam irradiation. The effects of vinyl acetate content and electron beam irradiation on the flame retardancy, mechanical and thermal properties of EVA composites were investigated. The volatilized products of EVA/APP/PER composites were characterized by thermogravimetric analysis/infrared spectrometry. As VA content increased, the volatilized products increased in the second decomposition step, but decreased in the third decomposition step. For all samples, the increase of irradiation dose could improve both the gel content and the Limit Oxygen Index (LOI, the minimum oxygen concentration by volume for maintaining the burning of a material) values of irradiated composites. The mechanical and thermal properties of the irradiated EVA composites were also evidently improved at appropriate irradiation dose as compared with those of unirradiated EVA composites, whereas these properties decrease at higher irradiation dose because of the electron beam irradiation-induced oxidative degradation or chain scission. 相似文献

The influence of nanofiller, plasticizer and hydroxyvalerate (HV) contents on the properties of poly(hydroxybutyrate-co-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV)/clay nano-biocomposites is studied.Analyses by wide-angle X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry showed that both the organo-modified montmorillonite clay and acetyl tributyl citrate plasticizer facilitate the crystallization process of PHBV. Despite its nucleating effect, the nanoclay hampers the spherulite growth and leads to a reduction in the copolymer crystallinity, while the addition of plasticizer induces the formation of thicker spherulites.For all studied systems, it was shown that the variation of mechanical properties of these nano-biocomposites is strongly influenced by their changes in crystallinity. 相似文献

Mg-Fe-MMH-钠质蒙脱土分散体系的触变性研究 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
触变性是分散体系一种复杂的流变学性质,指流变性质随剪切时间而发生变化的现象。以往研究过程中,先后发现了切稀现象和切稠现象,即正触变性和负触变性。最近,我们又发现了复合触变性,即一个体系可先后呈现正触变性和负触变性特征。研究了Mg-Fe型混合金属氢氧化物(简称MMH)-钠质蒙脱土(简称MT)分散体系的触变性,发现在不同MMH/MT质量比条件下,可分别呈现正触变性、负触变性,另外双观察到了复合触变性。在所研究的MMH/MT质量比范围(0~0.5)内,随MMH/MT质量比增大,体系的触变性发生负触变性-正触变性-复合触变性-负触变性的转化。考察了电解质NaCl对触变性的影响,发现不改变触变性的类型。探讨了各种触变性产生的原因,提出了“分散粒子-空间连续网络结构-密实聚集体”机理,较合理地解释了观察到的复合触变现象。 相似文献

The effect of zinc bisdiethylphosphinate (ZnPi) and organoclay on mechanical, thermal, and flame retardant properties of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) fiber was investigated. ZnPi was preferred due to its fusible character at spinning temperature and organoclay was used for synergistic interaction. The mechanical, thermal, and flame retardant properties of fibers were examined by tensile testing, thermogravimetric analysis (TG), and micro combustion calorimeter (MCC). The tensile strength of the PET fiber reduced with the addition of both ZnPi and organoclay. The TG results showed that the inclusion of ZnPi increased the char residue. The MCC results showed that the addition of organoclay increased the barrier effect of formed char which depends on char amount, thickness, and integrity and reduces the maximum heat evolved during the test. This result was also important in terms of showing that the organoclay was effective in thermally thin samples. 相似文献

A novel halogen‐free flame retardant (FR) consisting of brucite, aluminum phosphate (AlP), and silane coupling agent (B/AlP/A) was prepared via co‐precipitation assembly technique. The morphology, chemical compositions, size distribution, and thermal stability of B/AlP/A were investigated. When used in ethylene‐vinyl acetate (EVA) resin, the B/AlP/A could significantly enhance the flame retardant and smoke suppression performance of the EVA composites, which is mainly attributed to the AIP. With 50 wt% FR loading, the peak heat release rate (PHRR) of EVA‐B/AlP/A (299.2 kW · m?2) is much lower than that of EVA‐B/A (387.4 kW · m?2). Moreover, B/AlP/A shows an excellent smoke suppression performance. For example, the smoke production rate is 0.017 m2 · g?1 that has been decreased by 72.1%, compared with B/A. The improvement arises from the amorphous AlP layer on brucite, which helps to create a firm and porous protective char layers on the burning EVA composites. Meanwhile, better mechanical property could be simultaneously obtained with the large FR amount. The fluffy surface of B/AlP/A has good compatibility with EVA and tangle more polymer chains, enhancing the mechanical properties. In a word, this simple and convenient method could pave the way for developing a more efficient and cost‐effective brucite‐based FR. 相似文献
