An eco-friendly PVA/XG/AP nanocomposite multifunctional shield for wood with high flame retardancy and superior thermal insulation
Traditional flame-retardant methods for wood, which employ organic reagents and halogens, are detrimental to human health and the environment. Therefore, a PVA (Polyvinyl alcohol)-based coating (PX-AP) incorporating xanthan gum (XG), phytic acid (PA), and aluminum phosphate (AP) was developed to enhance flame retardancy, antibacterial performance, and thermal insulation of wood. XG improves viscosity, stabilizes AP suspension, facilitates carbon formation, and collaborates with AP to form a dense char layer. PX-AP achieves UL-94 V-0 rating with LOI > 60 %; TGA results show residual carbon content increases by 102.8 % compared to natural wood; cone calorimeter tests indicate Total heat release (THR) decreases by 36.9 % and Peak heat release rate (pHRR) by 43.7 %; and the maximum backside combustion temperature drops by 44.1 % in thermal insulation tests. Bio-inorganic carbon armor enhances fire-resistance & structural integrity of wood for safer evacuation. It also exhibits strong adhesion, meeting diversified demands for wood applications.
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.
