Abstract
In this work, the green and efficient organic-inorganic hybrid flame retardant materials (PA-Si-PPO-LDHs) were prepared by introducing phenyl phosphoric acid (PPO) and phytic acid (PA) between layers and surface of hydrotalcites, and characterized. With the addition of 10 wt% PA-Si-PPO-LDHs, the EP composites achieved UL-94 V-1 rating and a limiting oxygen index of 30.0 %, and obtained 46.4 %, 37.0 % and 20.1 % reduction in heat release rate, CO production and total smoke production, respectively. In addition, the PA-Si-PPO-LDHs were better dispersed in EP, and the tensile, three-point bending and simple beam impact strengths of EP composites were improved in comparison with the pure EP. The prepared PA-Si-PPO-LDHs contributed to improve the flame retardant of EP composites by the formation of the dense char layer in the condensed phase, dilution of flammable gases and the released phosphorus-containing free radicals for capture of the H• and HO• free radicals in the gas phase. Co and Ni metal-catalyzed CO conversion of CO2 reduced the release of heat and hazardous gases, and improve the fire safety of EP composites. The present work provided a simple method for the preparation of green and efficient LDHs-based organic-inorganic hybrid flame retardants for improving the fire safety of epoxy composites.
期刊介绍:
Case Studies in Thermal Engineering provides a forum for the rapid publication of short, structured Case Studies in Thermal Engineering and related Short Communications. It provides an essential compendium of case studies for researchers and practitioners in the field of thermal engineering and others who are interested in aspects of thermal engineering cases that could affect other engineering processes. The journal not only publishes new and novel case studies, but also provides a forum for the publication of high quality descriptions of classic thermal engineering problems. The scope of the journal includes case studies of thermal engineering problems in components, devices and systems using existing experimental and numerical techniques in the areas of mechanical, aerospace, chemical, medical, thermal management for electronics, heat exchangers, regeneration, solar thermal energy, thermal storage, building energy conservation, and power generation. Case studies of thermal problems in other areas will also be considered.
