Abstract
In this work, vanillin based inherently flame retardant polyurethane/SiO2 composite foams were designed. Firstly, the vanillin based flame retarding diol (VDP) was synthesized. Then, the KH550 modified nano-SiO2 (KH550-g-SiO2) was prepared as the reinforcement. Subsequently, a series of flame-retardant polyurethane/SiO2 composite foams (PUF-0.5P-xSiO2) were synthesized by tailoring the hard-soft segments and KH550-g-SiO2 contents. The results showed that KH550-g-SiO2 significantly improve the thermal stability of the PUF-0.5P-xSiO2 foams. In addition, the compressive strength of PUF-0.5P-xSiO2 foams was enhanced from 0.18 MPa (PUF-0.5P) to 0.45 MPa (PUF-0.5P-2.0SiO2) under 20 % strain. The flame retardant properties of PUF-0.5P-2.0SiO2 reached UL-94 V-0 grade. Meanwhile, the addition of KH550-g-SiO2 also decreased the thermal conductivity from 0.046 W/m·k to 0.037 W/m·k for PUF-0.5P-2.0SiO2. This work may provide an approach to obtain the biobased lightweight polyurethane foams for the application in packaging and building areas.
期刊介绍:
Composites Communications (Compos. Commun.) is a peer-reviewed journal publishing short communications and letters on the latest advances in composites science and technology. With a rapid review and publication process, its goal is to disseminate new knowledge promptly within the composites community. The journal welcomes manuscripts presenting creative concepts and new findings in design, state-of-the-art approaches in processing, synthesis, characterization, and mechanics modeling. In addition to traditional fiber-/particulate-reinforced engineering composites, it encourages submissions on composites with exceptional physical, mechanical, and fracture properties, as well as those with unique functions and significant application potential. This includes biomimetic and bio-inspired composites for biomedical applications, functional nano-composites for thermal management and energy applications, and composites designed for extreme service environments.
