Synergism between flame retardant and modified layered silicate on thermal stability and fire behaviour of polyurethane nanocomposite foams

Synergy in flame retardancy of polyurethane foams between phosphorus-based flame retardant (aluminium phosphinate) and layered silicates has been investigated. We used pristine montmorillonite as well as ammonium modified clay (commercially available) and diphosphonium modified clay, which were synthesised by the intercalation of the quaternary diphosphonium salt according to a procedure reported here. The morphology of the foams was characterised through X-ray diffraction (XRD), while thermal properties were characterised by oxygen index test, cone calorimeter and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The morphological characterisation showed that pristine and diphosphonium modified clays are almost slightly intercalated, while ammonium modified one is very well dispersed. The results of thermal characterisation showed that in the presence of phosphinate enhancements of oxygen index, fire behaviour, measured by cone calorimeter, and thermal stability have been achieved. Phosphinate is therefore an efficient flame retardant for polyurethane foams and its flame retardancy action takes place in both condensed and gas phases. Pristine and ammonium modified layered silicate bring some enhancements of thermal stability while having no important effect in decreasing peak heat release rate (PHRR) and total heat evolved (THE) when used in conjunction with phosphinate; their main advantage is related to the enhancement of compactness of the char layer formed. Diphosphonium clay is instead effective in further improving the fire behaviour of the foams because of the flame retardancy action of phosphonium: both PHRR and THE were decreased. The analysis of cone calorimeter data showed that clays act through physical effect constituting a barrier at the surface which is effective in preventing or slowing the diffusion of volatiles and oxygen, while phosphinate and phosphonium are more effective owing to their combined action in both condensed and gas phases.     

Fire retardancy of polymer clay nanocomposites: Is there an influence of the nanomorphology?

The obvious aspect of nanodispersion and its role when investigating fire retardancy is not often clearly commented upon in the literature. Polymer clay nanocomposites can exhibit different morphologies and these might have consequences for their fire behaviour. Using solid state NMR to quantify the nanodispersion of organoclay in polyamide-6 (PA-6), we have prepared by melt blending PA-6/clay nanocomposite exhibiting different nanomorphologies. NMR results are consistent with transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images but the advantage of NMR is that it is representative of the whole sample and provides a precise quantification. PA-6 nanocomposites exhibit significant reduction of PHRR but the nanomorphology (exfoliation, intercalation and presence of tactoids) does not play any significant role. In other words, we have clearly shown that if nanodispersion is achieved, polymer/clay nanocomposite should exhibit fire retardant properties.     

Characterisation of the steady state tube furnace (ISO TS 19700) for fire toxicity assessment

The steady state tube furnace (Purser furnace, ISO TS 19700) has been developed specifically to replicate the generation of toxic products from real fires under different fire conditions on a bench-scale. Steady state burning is achieved by driving the sample into a furnace of increasing heat flux at a fixed rate and recording the product yields over a steady state period in the middle of the run. The furnace, sample, and effluent dilution chamber temperature profiles are presented to characterise the conditions in the apparatus. The distribution of smoke in the mixing chamber has been investigated to demonstrate the efficiency of mixing in the effluent dilution chamber. The heat flux applied to the sample at various points through the furnace has been measured, showing that conditions vary from those typical of pre-flaming to fully developed fires. An initial investigation of the repeatability and interlaboratory reproducibility has been undertaken, showing acceptable low levels of uncertainty in the toxic product yields.     

Effect of stress on the fire reaction properties of polymer composite laminates

A small-scale loading frame was used to apply tensile and compressive stresses to glass vinyl ester and glass polyester laminates in a cone calorimeter under a heat flux of 75 kW m⁻². It was found, for the first time, that stress has a small but significant effect on the fire reaction properties. Increasing tensile stress increased heat release rate and smoke production while shortening the time-to-ignition. Compressive stress had the reverse effect. This was attributed to the fact that tensile stress promotes the formation of matrix microcracks, facilitating the evolution of flammable volatiles. This hypothesis is further supported by the observation that stress has the greatest effect on the early heat and smoke release peaks, with a lower effect on the final ‘run-out’ values.Stress rupture (time-to-failure) curves were produced for tension and compression. In tension, the behaviour was fibre dominated, with times-to-failure being roughly 10 times those in compression. Compressive failure involved resin dominated local fibre kinking, initiated near to the rear face of the specimen. The failure time was determined by a significant proportion of the specimen reaching its glass transition temperature.     

Influence of water content on failure of phenolic composites in fire

This paper evaluates the structural performance of flame resistant phenolic matrix composites exposed to fire. Experimental fire tests were performed on a glass-phenolic composite under combined static loading and one-sided radiant heating. The reduction to the tension and compression failure strengths of the phenolic composite was measured in these tests for heat flux conditions ranging from 10 kW/m² (∼225 °C) to 75 kW/m² (∼700 °C). It was discovered that the failure strengths of the phenolic composite decreased rapidly in the event of fire, particularly under compressive loading when failure occurred more rapidly than under tensile loading. The phenolic composite, despite having high flame resistance, loses strength more rapidly and fails sooner than a more flammable vinyl ester composite. The study shows that greater flammability resistance does not necessarily result in better structural performance in fire. The poor structural performance of the phenolic composite was due to explosive delamination damage and cracking caused by vaporisation of water in the matrix phase. It is shown that removing water from phenolic composites by natural or artificial ageing reduces the incidence of delamination cracking and thereby improves the materials' structural performance in fire. It is concluded that phenolic composites do not provide good structural performance in fire, even though they have low flame and smoke properties. However, reducing the water content in the matrix phase below about 10% can greatly improve the structural performance of phenolic composites during fire.
