过渡金属氧化物对阻燃剂聚磷酸铵热分解的影响机制

过渡金属氧化物(MO)可以显著影响聚磷酸铵(APP)的热分解过程, 进而改善APP复配膨胀阻燃聚合物材料的阻燃效率。将ZnO、Fe₂O₃、TiO₂掺入到APP中, 采用热失重分析(TGA)、X射线光电子能谱(XPS)和X射线衍射分析(XRD), 考察了3种MO对APP热分解行为的影响, 分析了相互作用过程中金属原子和磷原子化学结合状态的变化以及高温热分解产物的物相结构。TGA和XPS图谱分析结果表明, MO可降低APP的起始热分解温度, 并催化APP释放NH₃和H₂O, 而在热分解后期由于金属磷酸盐的形成可显著增加APP的高温残留量。3种MO催化APP热分解脱NH₃和H₂O的活性由大到小的顺序是:ZnO>Fe₂O₃>TiO₂, 而对APP凝聚相热分解P-O产物的交联能力从大到小的顺序为:Fe₂O₃>ZnO>TiO₂。XRD结果显示, ZnO在高温下与APP反应生成了Zn(PO₃)₂晶体, 而Fe₂O₃和TiO₂与APP反应分别生成了Fe₄(P₂O₇)₃和TiP₂O₇晶体。

Effects of metal oxides on intumescent flame‐retardant polypropylene

Variable amounts of transition metal oxides (MO), such as MnO₂, ZnO, Ni₂O₃, etc., were incorporated into blends of polypropylene (PP)/ammonium polyphosphate (APP)/dipentaerythritol (DPER) with the aim of studying and comparing their effects with main‐group MO on intumescent flame retardance (IFR). The PP/IFR/MO composites were prepared using a twin‐screw extruder, and the IFR behavior was evaluated through oxygen index and vertical burning tests. The progressive enhancement of flame retardancy has proved to be strongly associated with the interaction between APP and MO. With the aid of thermogravimetry (TG) analysis, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra and scanning electron microscopy, Ni₂O₃ has been shown to be the most effective among the aforementioned three MO. The flame‐retardant mechanism of the IFR system is also discussed in terms of catalytic charring, which relates to complex formation through the d‐orbitals of the transition metal elements. It is considered that the melt viscosity of a PP/APP/DPER blend containing Ni₂O₃ corresponds well to the gas release with increasing temperature. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Preparation of New Magnetic Nanocatalysts Based on TiO2 and ZnO and Their Application in Improved Photocatalytic Degradation of Dye Pollutant Under Visible Light

Photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange (MO) as a model of an organic pollution was accomplished with magnetic and porous TiO₂/ZnO/Fe₃O₄/PANI and ZnO/Fe₃O₄/PANI nanocomposites under visible light irradiation. The structures of nanocomposites were characterized by various techniques including UV–Vis absorption spectroscopy, XRD, SEM, EDS, BET and TGA. Optical absorption investigations show two λ_max at 450 and 590 nm for TiO₂/ZnO/Fe₃O₄/PANI nanocomposites respectively possessing optical band gaps about 2.75 and 2.1 eV smaller than that of the neat TiO₂ and ZnO nanoparticles. Due to these optical absorptions, the nanocomposites can be considered promising candidates as visible light photocatalysts to produce more electron‐hole pairs. The degradation of MO, extremely increased using polymeric photocatalysts and decolorization in the presence of visible light achieved up to 90% in less than 20 min in comparison with the neat nanoparticles (about 10%). All these advantages promise a bright future for these composites as useful photocatalysts. The degradation efficiency of MO using stable nanocomposites was still over 70% after ten times reusing. The highest decolorizing efficiencies were achieved with 0.75 g L^?1 of catalyst and 10 mg L^?1 of MO at natural pH under visible light irradiation in less than 20 min.     

Study on combustion property and synergistic effect of intumescent flame retardant styrene butadiene rubber with metallic oxides

Effect of metallic oxides on flame retardancy and the thermal stability of styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) composites based on ammonium polyphosphate (APP) and pentaerythritol (PER) was studied by the limiting oxygen index (LOI), UL 94, the cone calorimeter tests, and thermogravimetry analysis (TGA), respectively. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and wide‐angle X‐ray diffraction (WAXD) were used to analyze the morphological structure and the component of the residue chars formed from the SBR composites accordingly. The addition of zirconium dioxide (ZrO₂) at a loading of 3.4 phr could improve the UL 94 test rating of the composite to V‐0. The TGA data illustrated that the metallic oxides could enhance the thermal stability of the SBR/Intumescent flame retardant additives (IFRs) composites at high temperature and increase the residue. Cone calorimeter test gave much clear evidence that the incorporation of ZrO₂ into SBR/IFRs composites resulted in the significant deduction of the heat release rate (HRR) values, and the SEM images showed that the char layers of the composites containing the metallic oxides became more compact. From the WAXD pattern, zirconium phosphate (ZrP₂O₇) may be formed by the reaction between ZrO₂ and APP. Due to the addition of ZrO₂ and the formation of ZrP₂O₇, the flame retardancy of the composite was improved. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Synergistic effect of cocondensed nanosilica in intumescent flame‐retardant polypropylene

Amino‐functionalized nanosilica (SiO₂‐NH₂) was prepared through cocondensation method using aminopropyltriethoxysilane as comonomer to hydrolyze and cocondense with tetraethylorthosilicate. The synergistic effect of combination of ammonium polyphosphate and pentaerythritol with SiO₂‐NH₂ on the thermal and flame‐retardant properties of intumescent flame‐retardant (IFR) polypropylene (PP) has been investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectra, X‐ray diffraction (XRD), limiting oxygen index (LOI), and UL 94 tests. When 1.0 wt.% SiO₂‐NH₂ was added, the LOI value of the PP/IFR composite with 25 wt.% of IFR increased from 26.6% to 31.7%, while the UL 94 rating raised from not classified to V‐0. The TGA data demonstrated that the SiO₂‐NH₂ nanoparticles increased the charred residue of the PP/IFR composites. The morphological structures and the orderliness of the charred residue proved that SiO₂‐NH₂ promoted the formation of compact intumescent charred layer, which effectively protected the underlying polymer from burning. The XRD patterns of the charred residue indicated that nanosilica reacted with APP to form SiP₂O₇ crystal structure during combustion, which was beneficial to the formation of compact charred layers. In comparison with the inorganic SiO₂‐cal nanoparticles, the amino‐functionalized nanosilica revealed much more efficient synergistic flame‐retardant effect due to the difference of surface properties.     

Effect of Fe3O4‐doped sepiolite on the flammability and thermal degradation properties of epoxy composites

As‐received sepiolite/epoxy systems and Fe₃O₄‐doped sepiolite/epoxy systems were prepared, and the contents of sepiolite and Fe₃O₄‐doped sepiolite were kept as 2 and 4 wt%, respectively. Compared with sepiolite, the effect of Fe₃O₄‐doped sepiolite on the flame retardancy, combustion properties, thermal degradation, thermal degradation kinetics and thermomechanical properties of epoxy resin was investigated systematically by limiting oxygen index (LOI), cone calorimeter (Cone), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). Some interesting results had been acquired. The addition of sepiolite decreased heat release rate, total smoke production and smoke production rate, and obviously improved LOI values of epoxy composites. Compared with sepiolite, the addition of Fe₃O₄‐doped sepiolite further reduced parameters mentioned above of epoxy composites, and further enhanced LOI values and char residues after cone test. There might be a synergistic effect between sepiolite and Fe₃O₄ on flame retardant epoxy composite. TGA results indicated that the addition of sepiolite had a slight effect on the thermal degradation of epoxy composites; however, the addition of Fe₃O₄‐doped sepiolite accelerated the thermal degradation of epoxy composites. DMA results showed that the addition of both sepiolite and Fe₃O₄‐doped sepiolite increased the glass transition temperature (T_g) of epoxy composite. The results obtained in this paper supplied an effective solution for developing excellent flame retardant properties of polymeric materials. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Synthesis and properties of magnetically separable Fe3O4/TiO2/Bi2O3 photocatalysts

The Fe₃O₄/TiO₂/Bi₂O₃ composites were synthesized by a sol–gel method and used as improved photocatalysts for the degradation of methyl orange (MO) under simulated sunlight at room temperature. The as-prepared Fe₃O₄/TiO₂/Bi₂O₃ composites were characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). TEM analysis reveals that the composite has a core–shell structure and diameters of Fe₃O₄ core is about 200 nm. DRS results reveal that all composites showed red shift in optical absorption. TiO₂, Fe₃O₄, and Bi₂O₃ exist mainly as separate phases in the Fe₃O₄/TiO₂/Bi₂O₃ composites based on XPS analysis. The photocatalytic degradation of MO with the prepared photocatalysts was studied under simulated sunlight illumination. Photocatalytic reactivity test indicated that the removal efficiency of MO with the Fe₃O₄/TiO₂/Bi₂O₃ photocatalyst was higher than that of pure TiO₂ and Fe₃O₄/TiO₂. Recovery rate of Fe₃O₄/TiO₂/Bi₂O₃ photocatalysts achieved 80 % after five times reuse.     

Catalytic Properties of TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript>/Fe<Subscript>3</Subscript>O<Subscript>4</Subscript> Nanoparticles in Plasma Chemical Treatment

We proposed here a new process coupling dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma with magnetic photocatalytic material nanoparticles for improving yield in DBD degradation of methyl orange (MO). TiO₂ doped Fe₃O₄ (TiO₂/Fe₃O₄) was prepared by the sol-gel method and used as a new type of magnetic photocatalyst in DBD system. It was found that the introduction of TiO₂/Fe₃O₄ in DBD system could effectively make use of the energy generated in DBD process and improve hydroxyl radical contributed by the main surface Fenton reaction, photocatalytic reaction and catalytic decomposition of dissolved ozone. Most part of MO (88%) was degraded during 30 min at peak voltage of 13 kV and TiO₂/Fe₃O₄ load of 100 mg/L, with a rate constant of 0.0731 min^?1 and a degradation yield of 7.23 g/(kW h). The coupled system showed higher degradation efficiency for MO removal.     

Enhancement of a hyperbranched charring and foaming agent on flame retardancy of polyamide 6

A hyperbranched polyamine was prepared using an A₂ + B₃ approach. It acted as a hyperbranched charring and foaming agent (HCFA) in combination with ammonium polyphosphate (APP) to form a new intumescent flame retardant (IFR) system for polyamide 6 (PA6). Effect of HCFA on flame retardant and thermal degradation properties of IFR‐PA6 was investigated by limiting oxygen index (LOI), UL‐94 vertical burning, cone calorimeter, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) tests. The IFR system presented the most effective flame retardancy in PA6 when the weight ratio of APP to HCFA was 2:1. The LOI value of IFR‐PA6 could reach 36.5 with V‐0 rating when the IFR loading was 30 wt%. Even if the loading decreased to 25 wt%, IFR‐PA6 could still maintain V‐0 rating with an LOI value of 31. TGA curves indicated that APP would interact with both PA6 and HCFA in PA6/APP/HCFA composite under heating. The interaction between APP and HCFA improved the char formation ability of IFR system and then much more char was formed for PA6/APP/HCFA composite than for PA6/APP. Therefore, better flame retardancy was achieved. Moreover, the structure and morphology of char residue were studied by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results indicated that compact and foaming char layer containing P‐O‐C structure was formed for PA6/APP/HCFA system during combustion. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Flame retardancy and thermal degradation of halogen-free flame-retardant biobased polyurethane composites based on ammonium polyphosphate and aluminium hypophosphite

In this work, based on castor oil (CO), flame retardant polyurethane sealants (FRPUS) with ammonium polyphosphate (APP) and aluminum hypophosphite (AHP) were prepared. The synergistic flame retardant effects between APP and AHP on flame retardancy, thermal stability, and flame retardant mechanisms of FRPUS were investigated. It was found that when the mass ratio of APP and AHP was 5:1, the limiting oxygen index (LOI) value of FRPUS increased to 35.1%, In addition, at this ratio, the parameters from cone calorimeter testing (CCT) were reduced; these parameters include peak heat release rate (PHRR), total heat release (THR), smoke production rate (SPR) and total smoke production (TSP). The thermal decomposition behavior of the FRPUS was investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The results showed that AHP improved the thermal stability of the PUS/APP system and increased char residue at high temperatures. Moreover, the residual carbon was investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and scanning electron microscope (SEM), gas phase pyrolysis products were investigated by thermogravimetric analysis/infrared spectrometry (TG-IR) and thermogravimetric analysis/mass spectrometry (TG-MS). It was observed that the flame retardant mechanisms of the APP/AHP system was the combination of gas and condensed phase flame retardant mechanisms.
