Detection of intermediates is the general way to investigate a reaction mechanism, because the intermediates connect the reactants and the products, the intermediates can reflect some internal relationships between the reactants and the products. By studying the the structures of intermediates, the reaction process and reaction mechanism can thus be understood. Ammonium polyphosphate (APP) is an effective material as halogen-free flame retardants, it has six crystalline forms.In preparation of APP, the factor of temperature raising rate is investigated, some intermediates are detected, the XRD spectra of these intermediates are discussed. The results are informative for controllable preparation of APP in industrial production.

ABSTRACTComposites of low density polyethylene (LDPE) and 40 wt% Mg(OH)2 modified with several kinds of polysiloxane oils were prepared in order to evaluate the effect of the surface modification of Mg(OH)2 on the mechanical properties and oxygen index of the composites. A composite containing Mg(OH)2 modified with methylhydrogen polysiloxane oil showed an oxygen index of 23.8% O2 and an elongation of 425%. These values were superior to other composites containing Mg(OH)2 modified with other kinds of polysiloxane oils. The oxygen index could be enhanced up to 24.8% by co-addition of 5 wt% fumed silica as another flame retardant to the composite of LDPE and 35 wt% Mg(OH)2 (modified with methylhydrogen polysiloxane oil), while fixing the total amount of the flame retardants at 40 wt%.

Ammonium polyphosphate (APP) was modified with a silane coupling agent (vinyltrimethoxysilane, Si-171), and then the synergistic flame retarding effect of graphene and surface-modified APP (APP@Si-171) on high-impact polystyrene (HIPS) was investigated. Surface modification and thermal stability characterization of APP were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The results showed that surface-modified APP (APP@Si-171) exhibited significantly better dispersion and less agglomeration tendencies compared with pure APP. A series of target HIPS composites containing different mass fractions of the two flame retardants were prepared by melt blending. TGA and cone calorimeter tests (CCT) were conducted to quantitatively investigate the thermal and flammability properties of the composites, respectively. Results from TGA and CCT demonstrated that the addition of the flame retardants delayed the onset and peak temperatures in differential thermogravimetry (DTG) curves and weakened the peak heat release rate (PHRR) and total heat release (THR). Moreover, the synergistic effect index (SE) was employed to quantify the synergistic behavior between the two fillers, and the results showed that APP@Si-171 and graphene had a synergistic effect on improving the thermal stability and flame retardancy of HIPS.
