The study of mechanical behavior and flame retardancy of castor oil phosphate-based rigid polyurethane foam composites containing expanded graphite and triethyl phosphate

The goal of this work was the synthesis of novel flame-retarded polyurethane rigid foam with a high percentage of castor oil phosphate flame-retarded polyol (COFPL) derived from renewable castor oil. Rigid flame-retarded polyurethane foams (PUFs) filled with expandable graphite (EG) and diethyl phosphate (TEP) were fabricated by cast molding. Castor oil phosphate flame-retarded polyol was derived by glycerolysis castor oil (GCO), H₂O₂, diethyl phosphate and catalyst via a three-step synthesis. Mechanical property, morphological characterization, limiting oxygen index (LOI) and thermostability analysis of PUFs were assessed by universal tester, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), oxygen index testing apparatus, cone calorimeter and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). It has been shown that although the content of P element is only about 3%, the fire retardant incorporated in the castor oil molecule chain increased thermal stability and LOI value of polyurethane foam can reach to 24.3% without any other flame retardant. An increase in flame retardant was accompanied by an increase in EG, TEP and the cooperation of the two. Polyurethane foams synthesized from castor oil phosphate flame-retarded polyol showed higher flame retardancy than that synthesized from GCO. The EG, in addition to the castor oil phosphate, provided excellent flame retardancy. This castor oil phosphate flame-retarded polyol with diethyl phosphate as plasticizer avoided foam destroy by EG, thus improving the mechanical properties. The flame retardancy determined with two different flame-retarded systems COFPL/EG and EG/COFPL/TEP flame-retarded systems revealed increased flame retardancy in polyurethane foams, indicating EG/COFPL or EG/COFPL/TEP systems have a synergistic effect as a common flame retardant in castor oil-based PUFs. This EG/COFPL PUF exhibited a large reduction of peak of heat release rate (PHRR) compared to EG/GCO PUF. The SEM results showed that the incorporation of COFPL and EG allowed the formation of a cohesive and dense char layer, which inhibited the transfer of heat and combustible gas and thus increased the thermal stability of PUF. The enhancement in flame retardancy will expand the application range of COFPL-based polyurethane foam materials.     

Thermal analysis and EPR study of copper species in mordenites prepared by conventional and microwave-assisted methods

The main work of this thesis is to study and discuss flame-retardant properties of the flexible polyurethane foam (FPUF) added with borax, expanded graphite (EG), and EG/Borax as flame retardant, respectively. The thermal behavior of samples has been using thermogravimetry (TG) and differential thermogravimetry in air. The activation energies for different stages of thermal degradation are obtained following the equation of Kissinger. The flammability parameters, including limiting oxygen index, rate of heat release, total heat release, yield of CO, yield of CO₂, and smoke production rate, were recorded simultaneously. The char structure was studied by SEM, and their thermal stability and evolved gaseous products were examined by TG analysis–Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. By analyzing these data, it was concluded that most combustion parameters of FPUF were decreased by the treatment, especially for EG/Borax treatment, which indicated a synergistic effect of flame retardancy. Meanwhile, the probable flame retardation mechanism was proposed.     

Preparation and properties of negative ion/polyurethane flexible foam composites

Abstract

In this study, negative ionpowder was modified with a silane coupling agent and then added to the polyurethane flexible foam to prepare NI/PU flexible foam composites by the one-step foaming method. The effects of the amount of negative ion powder on the mechanical properties, thermal properties and release of negative ions were investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and negative ion detectors. The SEM results showed that modified negative ion powder could be more uniformly distributed around the cell walls of the polyurethane flexible foam. The thermal stability, tensile strength and resilience of the NI/PU flexible foam composite were improved with the increase of the amount of modified negative ion powder. Increasing the amount of modified negative ion powder could also result in an increase in the release of negative ions, and it reached 5500/cm³ or higher at a negative ion content of 3%.     

Preparation of Boron-coated Expandable Graphite and Its Application in Flame Retardant Rigid Polyurethane Foam

A novel boron-coated expandable graphite(BEG) material was prepared by first wrapping polyvinyl alcohol(PVA) onto expandable graphite(EG) and then condensing with boric acid. The obtained BEG was characterized by scanning electron microscopy(SEM), Fourier transform infrared(FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS), and thermogravimetric analysis(TGA). The fire performance and mechanical properties of the rigid polyurethane foam(RPUF) filled with BEG were investigated by limiting oxygen index(LOI), horizontal and vertical burning, cone calorimetry(CONE), and electronic tensile tests. BEG shows an improved compactness of the char layers upon thermal expansion, which is effective for the flame retardancy of RPUF. With a loading of 10%, RPUF/BEG exhibited a higher LOI, >10% reduction in heat release rate and carbon monoxide release, as well as a decrease in smoke release during the beginning of combustion compared to RPUF/EG. Moreover, the compressive strength and modulus of RPUF/BEG were increased. The improved flame retardancy of BEG on RPUF can be attributed to the suppression of the "popcorn effect" of EG by PVA-boric acid, and the improved mechanical property can be attributed to the presence of PVA.     

Effect of blowing agent content on the structure and flame-retardant properties of rigid polyurethane foam/expanded graphite composites

Driven by global environmental issues, the development of green building materials has become an immediate focus. In this work, n-pentane was used as an environmentally friendly blowing agent to prepare flame-retardant rigid polyurethane foam (RPUF) with the addition of expandable graphite (EG) successfully, and the effect of n-pentane content on flame retardancy and compressive properties of RPUF/EG composites was investigated through limit oxygen index (LOI), vertical burning test (UL-94), scanning electron microscope (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and compressive properties test. SEM results show that the content of EG and n-pentane causes a change in the cell structure of RPUF. The change of the n-pentane content has also an obvious effect on the thermal stability, flame retardancy, and specific compressive strength of RPUF/EG composites. In addition, the cell structure of RPUF matrix has an obvious influence on the distribution of EG in the composites, which indirectly affects the flame-retardant efficiency of EG. This research explores the conditions for the application of environmentally friendly RPUF and expands its application prospects.     

A liquid phosphorous flame retardant combined with expandable graphite or melamine in flexible polyurethane foam

A systematic series of flexible polyurethane foams (FPUF) with different concentrations of flame retardants, bis([dimethoxyphosphoryl]methyl) phenyl phosphate (BDMPP), and melamine (MA) or expandable graphite (EG) was prepared. The mechanical properties of the FPUFs were evaluated by a universal testing machine. The pyrolysis behaviors and the evolved gas analysis were done by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and TGA coupled with Fourier-transform infrared (TG-FTIR), respectively. The fire behaviors were studied by limiting oxygen index (LOI), UL 94 test for horizontal burning of cellular materials (UL 94 HBF), and cone calorimeter measurement. Scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) was used to examine the cellular structure's morphology and the postfire char residue of the FPUFs. LOI and UL 94 HBF tests of all the flame retarded samples show improved flame retardancy. BDMPP plays an essential role in the gas phase because it significantly reduces the effective heat of combustion (EHC). This study highlights the synergistic effect caused by the combination of BDMPP and EG. The measured char yield from TGA is greater than the sum of individual effects. No dripping phenomenon occurs during burning for FPUF-BDMPP-EGs, as demonstrated by the result of the UL 94 HBF test. EG performs excellently on smoke suppression during burning, as evident in the result of the cone calorimeter test. MA reduces the peak heat release rate (pHRR) significantly. The synergistic effect of the combination of BDMPP and EG as well as MA offers an approach to enhance flame retardancy and smoke suppression.     

Synthesis and characterization of expandable graphite-poly(methyl methacrylate) composite particles and their application to flame retardation of rigid polyurethane foams

The expandable graphite (EG) is well proved to be a good intumescent flame retardant for rigid polyurethane foam (RPUF), however, as it is pulverized into fine particles (pEG) for the purpose of improving the mechanical properties of the foam composite, the flame-retardant properties of pEG-filled RPUF (pEG/RPUF) are deteriorated. To improve both the mechanical properties and flame-retardant performance of pEG/RPUF composite, the pEG particles were encapsulated with a layer of polymer, poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) examination, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observation well demonstrated that the pEG-PMMA particles were successfully synthesized via emulsion polymerization, with 22.09 wt% PMMA. In contrast to the pEG, the addition of 10 wt% of pEG-PMMA particles into RPUF led to a considerable increase of the compressive strength and modulus and flame retardancy (limiting oxygen index, horizontal and vertical burning rates). The improvement of mechanical properties and flame-retardant behavior of pEG-PMMA particles filled RPUF was attributed to the desirable dispersion of pEG in PU matrix without destroying the integrality of the RPUF cell system, the good interfacial adhesion between PMMA and RPUF, and sealing the fine EG particles without losing oxidant, hence, to increase their expanded volume as exposed to fire.

Facile fabrication of hydrophobic octadecylamine-functionalized polyurethane foam for oil spill cleanup

To improve the hydrophobic property of polyurethane foam for oil spill cleanup, the polyurethane foam with nitrile groups is modified by grafting with oleophilic octadecylamine. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and optical contact angle measuring device are used to characterize the modified polyurethane foam. The results show that the octadecylamine has been successfully grafted onto the polyurethane foam and improved the foam hydrophobicity. The modified foam exhibits higher contact angle (146.3 ± 2.8°) compared to the unmodified foam (121.4 ± 3.2°). Moreover, the water sorption of the modified foam is 0.11g/g, which is much lower than that of the unmodified foam (0.84g/g). On the other hand, the sorption capacity of the modified foam for toluene, gasoline and diesel sorption is increased by 20?40%. Therefore, the polyurethane foam prepared by us can be effectively used in oil/solvent spill cleanup.
