Abstract
The demand for flame retardant and toughened properties in PC for practical applications has attracted much attention from researchers. Herein, a polyborosiloxane elastomer (PBASi) was synthesized using an eco-friendly method and incorporated into PC through reactive blending. The addition of 2 wt% PBASi resulted in PC achieving a UL-94V-0 rating and an LOI value of 30.4 %. The incorporation of PBASi also led to a reduction in peak heat release rate and total smoke production by 30.8 % and 29.7 %, respectively, compared to pure PC. The formation of a sea-island structure between PC and PBASi, along with an ester exchange reaction at their interface during blending, improved compatibility. The PBASi mitigated the notch sensitivity of PC and enhanced elongation at the break by 58.8 % and notched impact strength by 502.1 % compared to pure PC. These results suggest PBASi have great potential in developing flame-retardant and toughened PC composites for industrial applications.
期刊介绍:
Composites Part A: Applied Science and Manufacturing is a comprehensive journal that publishes original research papers, review articles, case studies, short communications, and letters covering various aspects of composite materials science and technology. This includes fibrous and particulate reinforcements in polymeric, metallic, and ceramic matrices, as well as 'natural' composites like wood and biological materials. The journal addresses topics such as properties, design, and manufacture of reinforcing fibers and particles, novel architectures and concepts, multifunctional composites, advancements in fabrication and processing, manufacturing science, process modeling, experimental mechanics, microstructural characterization, interfaces, prediction and measurement of mechanical, physical, and chemical behavior, and performance in service. Additionally, articles on economic and commercial aspects, design, and case studies are welcomed. All submissions undergo rigorous peer review to ensure they contribute significantly and innovatively, maintaining high standards for content and presentation. The editorial team aims to expedite the review process for prompt publication.
