Effect of microencapsulation on thermal properties and flammability performance of epoxy composite

The influence of microencapsulated ammonium polyphosphate (MFAPP) on flame retardancy, thermal properties and water resistance of epoxy (EP) composite were investigated by LOI, UL-94, DSC, TG, microscale combustion calorimeter (MCC) and TG-FTIR. The results of DSC show that the shell outside MFAPP can increase its compatibility in EP. EP/MFAPP containing only 9 wt% MFAPP can pass V-0 in the UL-94 test, while neat EP cannot pass any rating. Due to the presence of shell, water treatment show few effects on the flame retardancy of EP/MFAPP, while LIO values of EP/APP decrease remarkably after treatment. The presence of MFAPP can reduce the heat release rate and total heat release of EP significantly in MCC test. The reason is that MFAPP can stimulate the dehydration of EP at low temperature and retard the release of pyrolysis gas at high temperature. Moreover, a char formed via the reaction of EP and MFAPP has excellent thermal stability and can prevent underlying materials from further combustion during a fire.     

Flame retardancy mechanisms of poly(1,4‐butylene terephthalate) containing microencapsulated ammonium polyphosphate and melamine cyanurate

The flame retardancy mechanisms of poly(1,4‐butylene terephthalate) (PBT) containing microencapsulated ammonium polyphosphate (MAPP) and melamine cyanurate (MC) were investigated via pyrolysis analysis (thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), real‐time Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), TG‐IR), cone calorimeter test, combustion tests (limited oxygen index (LOI), UL‐94), and residue analysis (scanning electron microscopy (SEM)). A loading of 20 wt% MC to PBT gave the PBT composites an LOI of 26%, V‐2 classification in UL‐94 test and a high peak heat release rate (HRR) in cone calorimeter test. Adding APP to PBT/MC composites did not improve their flame retardancy. In comparison with the addition of ammonium polyphosphate (APP) to PBT, MAPP with silica gel shell and MAPP with polyurethane shell both promoted the intumescent char‐forming and improved the flame retardancy of PBT through different mechanisms in the presence of MC. These two halogen‐free PBT composites with V‐0 classification according to UL‐94 test were obtained; their LOI were 32 and 33%, respectively. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Thermal degradation and intumescent flame retardation of cellulose whisker/epoxy resin composite

The morphology, thermal degradation, and flame retardancy of epoxy (EP) composites containing microcrystalline cellulose whisker (MCW) and microencapsulated ammonium polyphosphate (MFAPP) were investigated using optical microscopy, limiting oxygen index (LOI), UL-94, thermogravimetry (TG), microscale combustion calorimeter, and TG-FTIR. EP/MFAPP/MCW composites can pass V-0 in UL-94 test at 6 wt% loading, and its peak heat release rate decreases when compared with EP and EP/MFAPP. The reason is that the presence of MCW strengthens the charring capacity of EP composites in a fire. The results of TG and TG-FTIR show that at low temperature, MFAPP stimulates the dehydration of MCW and EP, and produces gas which is helpful for the formation of an intumescent char. Moreover, the residue at high temperature does not release any flammable gas and is a good insulation layer on the surface of the sample, which protects the underlying material in a fire.     

Preparation and Characterization of Core/Shell-like Intumescent Flame Retardant and its Application in Polypropylene

With a shell of starch-melamine-formaldehyde (SMF) resin, core/shell-like ammonium polyphosphate (SMFAPP) is prepared by in situ polymerization, and is characterized by SEM, FTIR and XPS. The shell leads SMFAPP a high water resistance and flame retardance compared with APP in polypropylene (PP). The flame retardant action of SMFAPP and APP in PP are studied using LOI, UL 94 test and cone calorimeter, and their thermal stability is evaluated by TG. The flame retardancy and water resistance of the PP/SMFAPP composite at the same loading is better than that of the PP/APP composite. UL 94 ratings of PP/SMFAPP can reach V-0 at 30 wt% loading. The flame retardant mechanism of SMFAPP was studied by dynamic FTIR, TG and cone calorimeter, etc.     

Microencapsulation of ammonium polyphosphate with PVA–melamine–formaldehyde resin and its flame retardance in polypropylene

With a shell of PVA–melamine–formaldehyde resin, microencapsulated ammonium polyphosphate (VMFAPP) is prepared by in situ polymerization and characterized by FTIR and XPS. Microencapsulation gives VMFAPP better water resistance and flame retardance compared with APP in PP. Thermal stability and fire resistance behavior have been analyzed and compared. The LOI value of the PP/VMFAPP composite is higher than that of the PP/APP composite. The UL 94 ratings of most of the PP/VMFAPP composites are V‐0, whereas PP/APP gives no rating at the 30% additive level. The water resistant properties of the PP composites are studied. Results of the cone calorimeter experiment show that VMFAPP is an effective flame retardant in PP compared with APP. The thermal degradation behaviors of APP and VMFAPP have been studied using TG and dynamic FTIR. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Microencapsulated ammonium polyphosphate with epoxy resin shell: preparation,characterization, and application in EP system

Microencapsulated ammonium polyphosphate with an epoxy resin (EP) shell (MCAPP) was prepared by in situ method, and was characterized by transmission electron microscope (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and thermgravimetric analysis (TGA). Compared to ammonium polyphosphate (APP), MCAPP has smaller particle sizes and lower water solubility. The effect of MCAPP on the fire performance of EP was studied by using limiting oxygen index (LOI) and UL‐94 tests. When the same loading levels of APP or MCAPP were added into EP, the LOI and UL‐94 tests show similar results. Tensile, bending, and impact strengths of the EP/APP and EP/MCAPP composites were also evaluated, and the results indicate that MCAPP has much less negative influence on the mechanical properties than APP.

Preparation of microencapsulated ammonium polyphosphate with montmorillonite‐melamine formaldehyde resin and its flame retardancy in EVM

Microencapsulated ammonium polyphosphate (MMT‐MF‐APP) with a montmorillonite‐melamine formaldehyde resin coating layer was successfully prepared by in situ polymerization. The product was characterized by Fourier‐transform infrared, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. Water absorption analysis showed that the microencapsulation of APP with the MMT‐MF resin leads to a decrease in the particle's water solubility. The microcapsules also exhibited better mechanical properties and higher flame retardancy in the ethylene–vinyl acetate copolymer with high vinyl acetate content (EVM) rubber compared with the common ammonium polyphosphate. Moreover, thermogravimetric analysis results showed that the EVM composites with MMT‐MF‐APP and dipentaerythritol (DPER) as flame retardants possess higher thermal stability than those with common APP and DPER as flame retardants.

Preparation of microcapsulated ammonium polyphosphate,pentaerythritol with glycidyl methacrylate,butyl methacrylate and their synergistic flame‐ retardancy for ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer

A new series of microcapsules containing pentaerythritol (PER) and ammonium polyphosphate (APP) with glycidyl methacrylate and butyl methacrylate as shell materials were synthesized by in situ polymerization. The structure and performance of the microencapsulated APP and microencapsulated PER were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and water contact angle. The flame retarded ethylene‐vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) composites were studied by limiting oxygen index, UL‐94 test, and cone calorimeter. It was found that the microencapsulation of flame retardants (FRs) with the glycidyl methacrylate and butyl methacrylate lead to a decrease in the particle's water solubility and an improvement of the hydrophobicity. Results also demonstrated that the FR properties of EVA/microencapsulated APP/microencapsulated PER composites were better than those of the EVA/APP/PER composites at the same loading of FRs. The thermogravimetric analysis results reflected that the microencapsulated EVA composites had better thermal stability because of the forming of stable char during the combustion.
