Preparation,Characterization,and Performance of Lignin-based Microencapsulated Red Phosphorus Flame Retardant for ABS

The inherent difficulty in preservation and processing of conventional red phosphorus flame retardant severely limits its growing applications in polymer materials,thus,there is an urgent need to exploit effective technology to modify red phosphorus.Functionalized lignin-based compounds can provide a great potential in improving the preservation and processing of red phosphorus.Here,we prepared melamine modified lignin/aluminum phosphate coated red phosphorus(LMAP@RP)and used it as the flame retardant of acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene(ABS)resin.With 25wt%loading LMAP@RP,the ABS samples show excellent flame inhibiting capacity and reached UL-94 V-0 rating.Cone calorimetry test results show that the peak heat release rate,total heat release and total smoke release of ABS/25LMAP@RP are reduced strikingly by 64.6%,49.3%,and 30.1%,respectively.The char residue is 15.36wt%and the char layer is continuous and dense.The outstanding flame retardant and smoke-suppressant performances of LMAP@RP show its application prospect for ABS.

Hyperbranched Polyurethane Acrylate Applied to UV Curable Flame Retardant Coatings

UV curable hyperbranched prepolymers based on amine-ester, ester-amide and ether-amide started with AB_2-type monomers have been prepared by the authors. A series of work on allyl ether maleate hyperbranched polyesters for UV curing coatings by Hult and his colleagues has been reported. However, the UV cured films from those materials are all flammable when attached to fire without addition of flame retardants.

Influence of aliphatic epoxy monomer on the blowing-out effect in the flame retardant epoxy resins

An aliphatic epoxy monomer＂polypropyleneglycol-diglycidylether（PPGDGE,YF878）＂is loaded in the epoxy resins（EP）to evaluate the influence of epoxy structure on the blowing-out effect,which is caused by 9,10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene-10-oxide（DOPO）and octaphenyl silsesquioxane（OPS）.The flame retarding properties of these EP composites were tested using the LOI and UL-94 procedures.The pyrolytic gases produced and the thermal stability of the EP composites with different flame retardants were detected by TGA-FTIR in air.The negative effect of YF878 was detected from the TTI,HRR,and p-HRR results after the cone calorimeter test.The char produced by the EP composites after the cone calorimeter test was investigated by FTIR.It is proposed that the aliphatic chain of the YF878 is easy to break down and produce combustible gases,so it does not easily form a crosslinked structure in the condensed phase.These results are very helpful for investigation of the conditions under which the blowing-out effect in epoxy resins can be caused by synergy of phosphorous and silicon.

Study on Synthesis, Characterization of DCMA and Flame Retardant Research

A nitrogen phosphorus synergistic flame retardant DCMA was synthesized frOm N-methylol acrylamide （NMA） and Diethyl Chlorophosphate （DC）. The reaction time and reaction mechanism were determined by tracking the reaction process using ultraviolet spectrum.The cotton cloth finished with DCMA, by rolling baking process, when the flame retardant concentration from 10% to 30%.the smoldering time decreased from 3S to 1 S, carbon length decreased from 10.5 to 6.3, limiting oxygen index by 31 increased to 36.4.the tensile breaking strength of cotton fabric decreased from 6.46MPa to 3.12MPa.

Synthesis and Property of Flame Retardant Epoxy Resins Modified with 2-（Diphenylphosphinyl）-l,4-benzenediol

2-（Diphenylphosphinyl）-1,4-benzenediol（DPO-HQ） was synthesized by the reaction of diphenylphos- phine oxide（DPO） with 1,4-benzoquinone（BQ）, and characterized by Fourier transform infrared（FTIR）, and nuclear magnetic resonance（1H NMR, 13C NMR, 31p NMR） spectrometries. The thermal stability of DPO-HQ was investi- gated by thermogravimetric analysis（TGA）. Flame retardant epoxy resin was synthesized based on DPO-HQ. The thermal properties and burning performance of cured epoxy resins were measured by differential scanning calorime- try（DSC）, thermogravimetric analysis（TGA）, limited oxygen index（LOI） and vertical burning test（UL-94V）. The morphologies of cured epoxy resins after combustion were investigated by scanning electron microscopy（SEM） and electron probe microanalysis（EPMA）. Moreover, the thermal stability（both in air and in N2） of DPO-HQ and its cured epoxy resin was compared with that of 10-（2,5-dihydroxyphenyl）-9,10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene-10- oxide（DOPO-HQ） and its cured epoxy resin. The thermal stability of DPO-HQ is comparable with that of DOPO-HQ, while the thermal stability of cured epoxy resin based on DPO-HQ is better than that based on DOPO-HQ.

Boosting fire safety and mechanical performance of thermoplastic polyurethane by the face-to-face two-dimensional phosphorene/MXene architecture

Black phosphorus(BP), as one of the most promising fillers for flame retarding polymer, has been seriously limited in practical application, due to the agglomeration and poor structural stability challenges.Here, the BP was modified by MXene and polydopamine(PDA) via ultrasonication and dopamine modification strategy to improve the structural stability and dispersibility in the matrix. Then, the obtained(BP-MXene@PDA) nanohybrid was employed to promote the mechanical performance, thermal stability,and flame retardancy of thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer(TPU). The resultant TPU composite containing 2 wt.% of BP1-MXene2@PDA showed a 19.2% improvement in the tensile strength and a 13.8%increase in the elongation at break compared to those of the pure TPU. The thermogravimetric analysis suggested that BP-MXene@PDA clearly enhances the thermal stability of TPU composites. Furthermore,the introduction of the BP-MXene@PDA nanohybrids could considerably improve the flame retardancy of TPU composite, i.e., 64.2% and 27.3% decrease in peak heat release rate and total heat release, respectively. The flame-retardant mechanisms of TPU/BP-MXene@PDA in the gas phase and condensed phase were investigated systematically. This work provides a novel strategy to simultaneously enhance the fire safety and mechanical properties of TPU, thus expanding its industrial applications.
