In the present work, lanthanum phenylphosphonate (LaPP)–based multilayered film was fabricated on the surface of flexible polyurethane (PU) foam by layer‐by‐layer self‐assembled method. The successful deposition of the coating was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy‐dispersive X‐ray (EDX). Subsequently, the thermal decomposition and burning behavior of untreated and treated PU foams were investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and cone calorimeter, respectively. The TGA results indicated that Tmax2 of treated PU foams were increased by approximately 15°C to 20°C as compared with untreated PU foam. The peak heat release rate (PHRR) and total heat release (THR) of PU‐6 (with 19.5 wt% weight gain) were 188 kW/m2 and 20.3 MJ/m2, with reductions of 70% and 15% as compared with those of untreated PU foam, respectively. Meanwhile, the smoke production of treated PU foam was suppressed after the construction of LaPP‐based coating. 相似文献
The subject of the research was the production of silsesquioxane modified rigid polyurethane (PUR) foams (POSS-Cl) with chlorine functional groups (chlorobenzyl, chloropropyl, chlorobenzylethyl) characterized by reduced flammability. The foams were prepared in a one-step additive polymerization reaction of isocyanates with polyols, and the POSS modifier was added to the reaction system in an amount of 2 wt.% polyol. The influence of POSS was analyzed by performing a series of tests, such as determination of the kinetics of foam growth, determination of apparent density, and structure analysis. Compressive strength, three-point bending strength, hardness, and shape stability at reduced and elevated temperatures were tested, and the hydrophobicity of the surface was determined. The most important measurement was the determination of the thermal stability (TGA) and the flammability of the modified systems using a cone calorimeter. The obtained results, after comparing with the results for unmodified foam, showed a large influence of POSS modifiers on the functional properties, especially thermal and fire-retardant, of the obtained PUR-POSS-Cl systems. 相似文献
Quasi-static and dynamic compressive tests are undertaken on the polyurethane (PU) foam and fumed silica reinforced polyurethane (PU/SiO2) foam experimentally. The ceramic microspheres with varying mass fractions are adopted to mix with the PU/SiO2 foam to fabricate the composite particle-reinforced foams. The effects of strain rate and particle mass fraction are discussed to identify and quantify the compressive response, energy-absorbing characteristic, and the associated mechanisms of the composite foams. The results show the initial collapse strength and plateau stress of the foams are improved significantly by reinforcing with the ceramic microsphere within 60 wt% at quasi-static compression. The rate sensitivity is observed on all the foams, but in different patterns due to the influence of ceramic microsphere. The compressive response affected by ceramic microsphere can be attributed to the particle cluster effect and stress wave propagation. Together with the deformation, the compressive characteristic experiences non-monotonic change from the low to high strain rates. The specific energy absorption (SEA) of the foam with 41 wt% ceramic microsphere show the largest magnitude at quasi-static compression. With the increasing strain rate, the ceramic reinforced foam exhibits superior energy absorption efficiency at high strain rates to that of the pure foams. 相似文献
Summary: Octaaminophenyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (OapPOSS) was used as a crosslinking agent together with 4,4′‐methylenebis‐(2‐chloroaniline) to prepare polyurethane networks containing POSS. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT‐IR), dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) were employed to characterize the POSS‐reinforced polyurethane. The POSS‐containing PU networks displayed enhanced glass transition temperatures (Tgs) and the storage moduli of the networks of the glassy state and rubber plateaus were also observed to be significantly higher than that of the control polyurethane although only a small amount of POSS was incorporated into the systems. The results can be ascribed to the significant nanoscale reinforcement effect of POSS cages on the polyurethane matrix. TGA results showed the thermal stability was also improved with incorporation of POSS into the system.

A wrapped nanoflame retardant, designated as polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS)‐poly(4‐bromostyrene) (PBS)‐carbon nanotubes (CNTs), was synthesized via π‐π stacking interactions between the walls of multiwalled carbon nanotubes and the silicon‐bromine containing hybrid copolymer (designated as POSS‐PBS) that was copolymerized by 4‐bromostyrene and acryloyloxyisobutyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane. The POSS‐PBS‐CNTs exhibited good dispersibility in epoxy resin (EP) without obvious aggregation. Furthermore, the fire behaviors of this flame‐retardant EP (FR‐EP) nanocomposites were examined via limited oxygen index (LOI) and cone calorimeter (CONE) tests. The FR‐EP had an ideal LOI value of 35.3% and its residual char yield obtained from CONE test was significantly enhanced from 5.9% to 15.3% with the incorporation of 4 wt% POSS‐PBS‐CNTs and 1.33 wt% Sb2O3 into EP matrix. Additionally, the addition of 4 wt% POSS‐PBS‐CNTs or POSS‐PBS can efficiently decrease the peak heat release rate (PHRR) of EP matrix by 41.0% or 45.6%, respectively. 相似文献
The flexible polyurethane (PU) foam‐filled composite sandwiches are constructed using three types of needle‐punched fabrics (upper layer), PU foam (core layer), and nylon (bottom layer). Different contents of deionized water were used to adjust the pore size and bulk density of PU foam by free‐foaming. Effects of needle‐punched fabric components, cell structure, and fabric‐foam interface on sound absorption and compressive property of the composite sandwiches were investigated. Fabric‐foam interface contributes to improve high‐frequency sound absorption efficiency. When containing 0.5 wt% water in the core and nylon‐glass grid needle‐punched composite fabric (NPUN‐G) in the upper face, the composite sandwiches exhibited optimal sound absorption of 0.78 at low frequency of 450 Hz, and optimal compressive strength of 14.4 kPa. Combination of needle‐punched composite fabric improved the sound absorption coefficient and compressive strength, as high as 223% and 121%, respectively, compared with pure PU foam. This study provided an important basis for the preparation of high‐strength composite sandwiches with low‐frequency sound absorption. 相似文献
This study illustrates the preparation of robust superhydrophobic and superoleophilic reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and MoS2 nanoparticles incorporated polyurethane (PU) foam by in-situ polymerization via the one-shot method. Spectroscopic analyses confirmed the successful formation of nanoparticles and also the development of the hybrid PU material. The sponges were evaluated based on hydrophobicity and oil absorbance capacities and the modified foam exhibits the water contact angle of 151°. The pore size of the foam analyzed using an optical microscope and the effect on the density and porosity were also analyzed. The oil absorption capacity of the foam was studied using standard sorption testing. The oil and organic solvent selectivity and recyclability of hybrid PU foam were performed to estimate whether the foams could be recycled and reused. The modified system shows very high selectivity (83–94%). The recyclability of the foam was about 35 cycles without much reduction in its own weight and after 55 cycles more than 80% of the oil absorption capacity was conserved. The resulting hybrid PU material is highly efficient, porous, ultralight, hydrophobic and reusable sorbent material and displays great potential for versatile environmental remediation. 相似文献
Char-forming property of PU rigid foams, which can be assessed by char residue (%) when PU is burned at certain temperature, was studied by TG and DTG. The results showed that pure PU rigid foam had low char residue of only 17%, while 33% of char residue was achieved when PU rigid foam was modified by adding 8 wt% of 1-oxo-2,6,7-trioxa-1-phosphabicyclo[2,2,2] octane (PEPA), which is a caged bicyclic phosphate. The experiment results of FTIR and XPS showed that the PEPA modified PU rigid foam could be dehydrogenated and dehydrated at temperature between 380 and 450 °C, resulting in the increase of char residue of PU rigid foam. Further study also revealed that the addition of CaCO3 nanoparticles could enhance the char stability when the PEPA modified PU rigid foam was being burned. The mechanism was investigated and it was found that the enhanced char stability could be attributed to the limited permeation of oxygen caused by the formation of calcium phosphate and calcium pyrophosphate by the reaction of PEPA and CaCO3 at high temperature, which were covered on or buried in the char layer. 相似文献
Isocyanate, polyether polyol, a flame retardant (10 wt%), and aluminum hydroxide/magnesium hydroxide (0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 wt%) are used to form the rigid polyurethane (PU) foam, while nylon nonwoven fabrics and a polyester aluminum foil are combined to serve as the panel. The rigid PU foam and panel are combined to form the rigid foam composites. The cell structure, compressive stress, combustion resistance, thermal stability, sound absorption, and electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness (EMI SE) of the rigid foam composites are evaluated, examining the effects of using aluminum hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide. Compared with magnesium hydroxide, aluminum hydroxide exhibits superior performance to the rigid foam composites. When aluminum hydroxide is 20 wt%, the rigid foam composite has an optimal density of 0.153 g/cm3, an average cell size of 0.2466 mm, a maximum compressive stress of 546.44 Kpa, an optimal limiting oxygen index (LOI) of 29.5%, an optimal EMI SE of 40 dB, and excellent thermal stability and sound absorption. 相似文献
