聚磷酸铵的疏水改性及聚丙烯阻燃性能

首先以γ-氨丙基三乙氧基硅烷(KH550)对聚磷酸铵(APP)进行表面化学修饰,然后用水解后的正硅酸四乙酯在其表面引发原位聚合,最后用十七氟癸基三乙氧基硅烷(氟硅烷)进行外表面修饰,制备了疏水聚磷酸铵(M-APP).M-APP的静态接触角为134°,表明M-APP具有很好的疏水性.通过傅里叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)和X射线光电子能谱(XPS)对M-APP的结构及表面元素进行分析,结果表明,M-APP即为目标产物.将M-APP与三嗪成炭发泡剂(CFA)以质量比4∶1复配制备改性膨胀型阻燃剂(M-APP/CFA),并添加到聚丙烯(PP)中,制备阻燃PP(PP/M-APP/CFA).通过极限氧指数(LOI)和垂直燃烧(UL-94)研究了其阻燃性能,用热重分析(TGA)研究了材料的热降解行为,通过耐水测试研究了耐水性能,通过拉伸、弯曲和冲击强度研究了材料的力学性能,通过扫描电子显微镜(SEM)研究了改性膨胀型阻燃剂与聚合物的相容性.结果表明,当m IFR的添加量为23%时,PP/M-APP/CFA通过UL-94 V-0级,LOI值达到30.8%,且经过耐水测试后,依然能通过UL-94 V-0级,PP/M-APP/CFA的失重率仅为0.92%.在相同实验条件下,由APP制备的PP/M-APP/CFA材料在耐水测试后UL-94测试无级别,失重率达2.45%,表明APP的表面疏水改性大大提高了PP/M-APP/CFA材料的耐水性能.M-APP/CFA的加入提高了材料的热稳定性及成炭性能,燃烧时形成的膨胀炭层能很好地保护内部材料的降解和燃烧,从而提高了材料的阻燃性能.APP的改性提高了M-APP/CFA与PP的相容性,从而提高了材料的力学性能.

RPUF/MEG阻燃性能的提高与MEG负载的硅硼陶瓷前驱体促进了阻燃RPUF各组分间的相互作用及增强了炭层的阻隔性有关.     

不同层状双氢氧化物对有机硅泡沫阻燃抑烟与力学性能的影响研究

有机硅泡沫(SiF)含大量可燃有机侧链,在燃烧时伴随严重烟毒气体释放,对其进行阻燃抑烟改性十分重要。为了探究不同层状双氢氧化物(LDH)对SiF阻燃抑烟性能的影响差异,本文制备了两种金属元素组成不同的纳米LDH,并将其作为阻燃抑烟改性剂以及增强填料加入到SiF中。发现不同金属元素组成的MgAl-LDH和MgFe-LDH对SiF燃烧行为的影响截然不同。SiF/1MgAl-LDH的LOI值为29.6%,通过UL-94 V-0级,最大烟产生速率(pSPR)值降低42.4%;而SiF/1MgFe-LDH的LOI值为26.6%,无法通过UL-94测试,且pSPR值升高82.7%。以上结果归结于两者在高温条件下生成的金属氧化物对SiF的裂解过程影响不同,其中MgO/MgAl₂O₄对SiF的热分解起抑制作用,而MgO/MgFe₂O₄却对SiF的热分解起促进作用。另外,添加1份LDH均可以显著提升SiF的强韧性,包括压缩强度、拉伸强度以及拉伸断裂伸长率。

Effect of natural basalt fiber for EVA composites with nickel alginate‐brucite based flame retardant on improving fire safety and mechanical properties

The natural basalt fiber (BF) was incorporated into EVA composites with environmental‐friendly nickel alginate‐brucite based flame retardant (NiFR), to further improve the flame‐retardant effect and mechanical properties. The flame retardancy of EVA composites were characterized by LOI, UL 94, and cone test. With 55 wt% loading, 3BF/52NiFR had the highest LOI value of 31.9 vol.% in all fiber reinforced composites and pass UL 94V‐0 ratting. And comparing to 55B composite with untreated brucite, 3BF/52NiFR decreased peak of heat release rate by 47.8%, total heat release by 21.9%, and total smoke production by 35.5% and kept more residue 54.0% during cone test. Moreover, 3BF/52NiFR also enhanced the mechanical properties of composites by better compatibility with EVA matrix. BF/NiFR exert synergistic flame‐retardant effect major in promoting charring effect in condensed phase during combustion. The fire‐resisted and rigid BF into the char layer reinforced the intensity of protective barrier which prolonged the residence time of pyrolysis carbonaceous groups degraded from EVA matrix, resulting in less heat and smoke release.     

Effect of different ionic layered compounds decorated with zinc hydroxystannate on flame retardancy and smoke performance of epoxy resin

ZHS@ Mg‐Al‐LDH and ZHS@α‐ZrP hybrid materials were prepared by electrostatically loading zinc hydroxystannate (ZHS) on the layered compounds (Mg‐Al‐LDH and α‐ZrP) in this work. With the addition of 2 wt% of the two hybrid materials to epoxy resin (EP), respectively, the fire hazard of EP and its composites were investigated. The limiting oxygen index (LOI) of ZHS@ Mg‐Al‐LDH/EP composite increased by 19.0% compared with pure EP, while its peak heat release rate (PHRR), total heat release rate (THR), and peak smoke release rate (SPR) decreased by 48.2%, 20.8%, and 21.6%, respectively, evidenced by the results of the LOI test and cone calorimetry test (CCT). The LOI of ZHS@α‐ZrP/EP composite increased by 20.4%, and its PHRR, THR, and SPR decreased by 47.7%, 21.4%, and 27.1%, respectively. Both hybrid materials showed prominent flame retardant and smoke suppressing properties. In addition, through the analysis of the TG‐IR and Raman spectrum of residual char, the specific mechanism of flame retardance and smoke suppression was explored.     

Flame retardant effects of organic inorganic hybrid intumescent flame retardant based on expandable graphite in silicone rubber composites

In this work, an organic inorganic hybrid intumescent flame retardant (functionalized expandable graphite, FEG) was synthesized and characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR). The flame retardant effects of FEG in silicone rubber (SR) composites were investigated by cone calorimeter test (CCT), and the thermal stability of SR composites was studied using TGA. The CCT results showed that FEG can effectively reduce the flammable properties including peak heat release rate (PHRR), total heat release (THR), smoke production rate (SPR), total smoke release (TSR), and smoke factor (SF). An improvement of thermal stability of SR/FEG was also observed. Compared with EG, FEG can further reduce THR, SPR, and TSR of SR/FEG composites in combustion process. Moreover, there is a more obvious intumescent char layer formed from the sample with FEG than the sample with EG at the same loading in SR composites. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Evaluation of activation energy conformity derived from model-free non-isothermal predictions and Arrhenius isothermal results

Organically modified montmorillonite (OMMT) was used as synergist to enhance the flame-retardant and mechanical properties of poly(butylene succinate)/intumescent flame retardant (PBS/IFR) composites. The flame-retardant, thermal degradation and combustion properties of PBS and its flame-retardant composites were characterized by limiting oxygen index (LOI) test, vertical burning (UL-94) test, thermogravimetric analysis, cone calorimeter and scanning electron microscopy, respectively. The results indicate that PBS/IFR composites exhibit excellent flame retardance when OMMT is at an appropriate content. PBS/IFR composite with 20 wt% IFR and 1.5 wt% OMMT has an LOI of 40.1% and can pass the UL-94 V0 rating. The synergistic effect between OMMT and IFR on the flame-retardant properties of PBS depends on the content of OMMT, and excessive OMMT diminish this synergistic effect. The possible flame-retardant mechanism of OMMT on PBS/IFR composite is proposed. The results of mechanical test also indicate that OMMT can effectively increase the notched impact strength of PBS/IFR composites.     

Flammability characteristics and synergistic effect of hydrotalcite with microencapsulated red phosphorus in halogen-free flame retardant EVA composite

The flammability characteristics and synergistic effect of hydrotalcite with microencapsulated red phosphorus (MRP) in halogen-free flame retardant ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) composite have been studied by cone calorimeter test (CCT), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), limiting oxygen index (LOI) and UL-94 test. The results obtained by comparing the flame retardancy of hydrotalcite with magnesium hydroxide (MH) and aluminium hydroxide (AH) for their EVA composites showed that hydrotalcite has higher flame retardant effect than MH and AH at the same loading level. The CCT tests indicated that the heat release rate (HRR) and mass loss rate (MLR) of EVA composite blended with hydrotalcite greatly decreased compared with those blended with MH and AH. The LOI values of EVA/hydrotalcite composites are 3-4% higher than those of the corresponding MH composites at 40-60 wt% loading levels, and 6% higher than that of the corresponding AH composite at 40 wt% loading level. Moreover, the addition of a given amount of MRP apparently resulted in the increase of LOI value and decrease of the HRR and MLR as well the loading of hydrotalcite in EVA blend while keeping the V-0 rating in UL-94 test. However, the smoke release increased during the combustion of EVA/hydrotalcite blend containing MRP.

POPP/APP的加入在很大程度上降低了环氧树脂的热释放速率、 有效燃烧热、 烟释放量和有毒气体释放量. 阻燃环氧树脂在高温下形成比较稳定的致密膨胀炭层, 为底层的环氧树脂主体隔绝了分解产物及热量和氧气交换, 增强了高温下的热稳定性.     

Synthesis of a novel polyphosphazene/triazine bi‐group flame retardant in situ doping nano zinc oxide and its application in poly (lactic acid) resin

A novel polyphosphazene/triazine bi‐group flame retardant in situ doping nano ZnO (A4‐d‐ZnO) was synthesized and applied in poly (lactic acid) (PLA). Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (SSNMR), X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), and energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) were used to confirm the chemical structure of A4‐d‐ZnO. The thermal stability and the flame‐retardant properties of the PLA composites were characterized by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), limiting oxygen index (LOI), vertical burning test (UL‐94), and micro combustion calorimeter (MCC) test. The results of XPS showed that A4‐d‐ZnO has been synthesized, and the doping ratio of ZnO was 7.2% in flame‐retardant A4‐d‐ZnO. TGA results revealed that A4‐d‐ZnO had good char forming ability (40 wt% at 600°C). The results of LOI, vertical burning test, and MCC showed that PLA/5%A4‐d‐ZnO composite acquired a higher LOI value (24%), higher UL94 rating, and lower pk‐HRR (501 kW/m²) comparing with that of pure PLA. It indicated that a small amount of flame‐retardant A4‐d‐ZnO could achieve great flame‐retardant performance in PLA composites. The catalytic chain scission effect of A4‐d‐ZnO could make PLA composites drip with flame and go out during combustion, which was the reason for the good flame‐retardant property. Moreover, after the addition of A4‐d‐ZnO, the impaired mechanical properties of PLA composites are minimal enough.     

Experimental study on the thermal behaviors of lithium-ion batteries under discharge and overcharge conditions

Iron oxide modified montmorillonite (MMT) as flame retardant was used to polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and the flame retardant and smoke-suppressant properties of the PVC were investigated by the smoke density rating and cone calorimeter tests (CONE), and the thermal degradation behaviors of PVC were studied by thermogravimetric analysis (TG) in air atmosphere. The activation energies for the first stage of thermal degradation were obtained following the equation of Kissinger. The mechanical properties testing resultant data showed that iron oxide modified MMT had little effect on the tensile strength of the sample. The CONE result indicated that iron oxide modified MMT could reduce the heat release rate in flame retardant PVC: a more compact char residue formed on the surface of the sample including iron oxide modified MMT during the combustion process. The TG result showed that the sample with modified iron oxide MMT had higher thermal stability than the pure PVC. Besides, the PVC treated with modified MMT showed high activation energy.     

Preparation of a novel phosphorus‐containing organosilicon and its effect on the flame retardant and smoke suppression of polyethylene terephthalate

A novel phosphorus‐containing silicone flame retardant (PDPSI) was prepared by Mannish reaction, and a series of PDPSI/PET composites were prepared by melt blending method. The nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H NMR), Fourier transformation infrared (FTIR), and the thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) results indicated that PDPSI showed network structure and owned good thermal stability, with the char residue of 62.2% at 800°C. The flame retardancy of PDPSI/PET composites was characterized by limiting oxygen index (LOI), vertical burning tests (UL‐94), and cone calorimeter (CCT). The results revealed that the addition amount of PDPSI was 5%, the LOI value of PDPSI/PET composites increased to 27.3%, and UL‐94 test passed V‐0 rating. When the PDPSI loading was 3%, PET composites showed excellent flame retardancy and smoke suppression, with a decrease in the peak heat release rate (PHRR) by 71.19% and the total smoke release (TSP) reduced from 14.4 to 11.1m². The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and FTIR results of char residue demonstrated that the flame‐retardant mechanism of PDPSI was solid phase flame retardant. PDPSI catalyzed the aromatization reaction of PET to promote the formation of a dense and continuous carbon layer, finally improving the flame retardancy and smoke suppression properties of PET.     

Flame retardancy and smoke suppression of silicone foams with microcapsulated aluminum hypophosphite and zinc borate

The flame‐retardant microcapsules were successfully fabricated with an aluminum hypophosphite (AHP) core. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were used to verify that AHP was encapsulated in the microcapsules, and thermogravimetry analysis showed that microencapsulated AHP (MAHP) possessed higher thermal stability than that of AHP. Then, a flame‐retardant and smoke suppression system for silicone foams (SiFs) was obtained through a synergistic effect of MAHP and zinc borate (2ZnO·3B₂O₃·3.5H₂O). The mechanical properties, flame retardance, and smoke suppression of SiFs with MAHP and zinc borate were tested using the tensile test, limiting oxygen index (LOI) test, UL‐94 test, and cone calorimeter test. The mechanical properties indicated that the tensile strength and elongation at break of SiFs could evidently improve with the incorporation of MAHP. Compared with pure SiF, SiF8 with 4.5‐wt% MAHP and 1.5‐wt% zinc borate could achieve an LOI value of 30.7 vol% and an UL‐94 V‐0 rating, the time to ignition amplified almost six times, the peak heat release rate and total heat release were 51.10% and 46.00% less than that of pure SiF, respectively, the fire performance index increased nearly 13 times, and the fire growth index value was only 13.18% of pure SiF. Moreover, the partial substitution of zinc borate imparted a substantial improvement in both flame retardancy and smoke suppression. Especially, the peak smoke production rate and total smoke production of SiF8 were merely 38.46% and 38.84% of pure SiF.
