Abstract
In this study, a novel approach was employed to enhance the flame retardant efficiency of an intumescent flame retardant (IFR) by growing a layered double hydroxides (LDHs) of Zn/Fe on the surface of melamine polyphosphate (MPP), denoted as Zn/Fe-LDH@MPP (LDHMPP). This modification was carried out via in-situ co-precipitation, and the resulting composite was subsequently applied to polypropylene (PP) in conjunction with piperazine pyrophosphate (PAPP). Under the same proportion and concentration, the PP/16 %LDHIFR formulation achieved a preferred V-0 rating in the UL-94 test. Furthermore, this formulation exhibited an enhanced ability to form a protective char layer, as evidenced by both cone calorimetry tests (CCT) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) tests. Additionally, the synergistic effect of Zn/Fe-LDH on flame retardancy was also studied.
期刊介绍:
Polymer Degradation and Stability deals with the degradation reactions and their control which are a major preoccupation of practitioners of the many and diverse aspects of modern polymer technology.
Deteriorative reactions occur during processing, when polymers are subjected to heat, oxygen and mechanical stress, and during the useful life of the materials when oxygen and sunlight are the most important degradative agencies. In more specialised applications, degradation may be induced by high energy radiation, ozone, atmospheric pollutants, mechanical stress, biological action, hydrolysis and many other influences. The mechanisms of these reactions and stabilisation processes must be understood if the technology and application of polymers are to continue to advance. The reporting of investigations of this kind is therefore a major function of this journal.
However there are also new developments in polymer technology in which degradation processes find positive applications. For example, photodegradable plastics are now available, the recycling of polymeric products will become increasingly important, degradation and combustion studies are involved in the definition of the fire hazards which are associated with polymeric materials and the microelectronics industry is vitally dependent upon polymer degradation in the manufacture of its circuitry. Polymer properties may also be improved by processes like curing and grafting, the chemistry of which can be closely related to that which causes physical deterioration in other circumstances.
