This study used phenylphosphonic acid (PPOA) and urea as raw materials to prepare a flame retardant named POU. PTCO/POU was prepared by the pad-dry-cure technique, and the performance was compared with that of PTCO/PPOA, revealing many interesting phenomena. Based on the gas phase and condensed phase flame-retardant mechanism brought by P/N synergy, PTCO/POU had better flame retardancy than PTCO/PPOA did. The damaged length was 6.7 cm, and the limiting oxygen index (LOI) value was 30.1%. The char residues after burning were complete and denser with a higher degree of graphitization. Thermogravimetric analysis showed that POU can significantly reduce the R_max of PTCO, and improve its thermal stability in high temperature zones. The CCT results showed that PTCO/POU had the longest time to ignition and the smallest fire growth index, which was of great significance for reducing fire risk. The TG-FTIR results showed that the volatile products of PTCO/POU were greatly reduced, and during the burning process, NH₃ was produced to dilute the concentration of combustible gases. In addition, PTCO/POU also had better whiteness performance than PTCO/PPOA did. This work greatly improved the flame retardancy of PTCO in a simple way and expanded its application prospects.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":7186,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Industrial and Engineering Polymer Research","volume":"7 3","pages":"Pages 344-354"},"PeriodicalIF":9.9,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2542504824000113/pdfft?md5=cfe31ccbbff84c7119147e8c46b3349f&pid=1-s2.0-S2542504824000113-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140277686","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A cyclotriphosphazene derivative with triazole group, referred to as hexa(1,2,4-triazol-3-ylamine) cyclotriphosphazene (HATA), was utilized to improve the flame retardancy of epoxy resin (EP). Differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, and dynamic mechanical analysis were employed to characterize the thermal properties of EP/HATA thermosets. HATA facilitated the curing of EP due to its triazole and secondary amine structure. EP/HATA thermosets exhibited improved char-forming ability and storage modulus, attributed to the rigid cyclophosphonitrile structure of HATA. As a result of incorporating 5% HATA with 0.73 wt% phosphorus, EP passed UL-94 V-0 level. Subsequent analysis using a cone calorimeter revealed obvious reductions in the peak heat release rate, fire growth rate, and total smoke production of EP with the addition of HATA. Simultaneously, there was a significant enhancement in the char yield of EP during combustion, indicating notable improvements in fire safety. Additional investigations, including X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, TG-FTIR, and pyrolysis gas chromatography/mass spectrometry, were employed to analyze the char residue and gaseous volatiles. HATA promoted the formation of a dense, continuous, and intumescent char layer containing cyclophosphonitrile structure in EP. Moreover, the decomposition of HATA released a notable quantity of nitrogen-containing volatiles, effectively mitigating flammable gases originating from the EP matrix in gaseous phase. A biphasic flame-retardant mode of action was proposed, underscoring cooperative flame-retardant effects arising from the interaction between triazole substituents and cyclophosphonitrile structure in HATA molecular for EP.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":7186,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Industrial and Engineering Polymer Research","volume":"7 3","pages":"Pages 326-337"},"PeriodicalIF":9.9,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2542504824000137/pdfft?md5=ed55d6dd020a1f7058d231289438e2f9&pid=1-s2.0-S2542504824000137-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140400778","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The successful grafting of POSS has been fully verified by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy and surface contact angle. The formation of the cross-linked structure and the introduction of POSS make the phase change latent heat of the phase change material slightly decrease from 102.4 J g⁻¹ to 94.4 J g⁻¹, but there is still a high retention rate.

The excellent flame retardant performance is mainly because the synergist NiCo₂O₄ nanoparticles in the four-in-one flame retardant can easily combine and efficiently interact with the acid source, carbon source, and gas source in the intumescent flame retardant to form a more stable protective char residue. In addition, the crosslinking β-CD shell enhances both the water resistance and initial thermal decomposition temperature of PP containing the four-in-one IFR compared to PP with simple mixed control samples.
