Fabrication of biodegradable phosphorus-containing flame-retardant plasticizer derived from L-lactic acid toward simultaneously enhancing the toughness, flame retardancy and transparency of flexible polyvinyl chloride
Bio-based plasticizers have emerged as a promising solution for addressing environmental concerns and performance limitations associated with traditional petroleum-derived additives in polymers. However, for plasticizers (whether petroleum-based or bio-based) with single functionality, inherent flammability is a common characteristic. When such plasticizers are applied in flexible polyvinyl chloride (PVC), they tend to significantly impair the intrinsic flame-retardant performance of PVC matrices, thereby elevating the potential fire hazards associated with their practical application. Therefore, a novel biodegradable phosphorus-containing flame-retardant plasticizer derived from l-lactic acid (PMBL) was developed to address the aforementioned challenge, with integration of both flame-retardant and plasticizing functionalities. Compared with the common plasticizers used to soften polyvinyl chloride, the addition of PMBL can not only enhance the toughness of flexible PVC blends, but also retain their excellent flame-retardant properties. Upon the incorporation of PMBL, PVC/PMBL blends attained a UL-94 V-0 classification, and exhibited a substantial increase in elongation at break from 3.9 % (for pure PVC) to 647.8 % (for PVC/40PMBL), a performance that outperformed PVC blends plasticized with acetyl tributyl citrate (ATBC). Cone calorimeter test results revealed that PVC/40PMBL, in comparison to PVC/40ATBC, exhibited a 61 % reduction in peak heat release rate and a 56 % decrease in total heat release, findings that indicate the effective suppression of heat release from flexible PVC blends by PMBL. Furthermore, PMBL exhibited excellent resistance to migration and volatility, thereby enabling flexible PVC products to maintain prolonged service life and stability. Soil degradation tests confirmed good biodegradability of PMBL. Overall, this study is anticipated to offer a viable strategy for developing functional bio-based additives.
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.
