Innovative flame resistant composite non-woven fabric from recycled ceramic and polyethylene terephthalate waste fibers
Rapid economic growth has led to a surge in global textile consumption, overwhelming waste management infrastructure. Most non-degradable textiles are currently disposed of by landfilling or incineration, contributing to environmental pollution. To address this problem, we efficiently recycled waste into a fireproof composite, featuring a ceramic fiber middle layer and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fiber outer layers, using sustainable opening, carding, needle punching and hot-pressing techniques. This composite has been certified with a V-0 rating in the UL-94 flammability test, confirming its exceptional flame resistance. Infrared thermal imaging analysis further confirms its excellent thermal insulation and ablative resistance capabilities. Furthermore, an in-depth study on the composition of combustion residue char and gaseous volatiles demonstrated no significant flame hazards and revealed that gas-phase dilution combined with ceramic fiber residue char, disrupted the flame-fuel interaction to inhibit combustion. This research provides a facile and eco-friendly strategy for cost-efficient recovery of waste textiles, not only minimizing resource wastage but also producing a high-value product, thus significantly reducing environmental pollution.
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.
