In situ preparation of intrinsic flame retardant urea formaldehyde/aramid fiber composite foam: Structure, property and reinforcing mechanism

New composite foams were prepared by co-foaming of Melamine-Urea-Formaldehyde (MUF) resin and wood fiber in the closed mould at 70°C. The effects of amount of wood fiber on mechanical properties, brittleness, flame-retardant, insulation and microscopic structures of wood fiber-MUF foam were investigated. Results indicated that the flame-retardant properties increased, and the brittleness and mechanical properties decreased with the increase of the amount of wood fiber in composite foams. The addition of wood fiber resulted in more uniform cell size distribution and irregular cell shape, but had little effect on insulation properties.

In Situ Preparation

Calcium carbonate/cellulose fiber composites combining natural polymers and inorganic particles are promising materials for preparing fluff pulp. In this study, calcium carbonate (CaCO3) particles were in-situ precipitated on cellulose fiber surfaces to decrease the level of hydrogen bonding. The results showed that nano CaCO3 particles precipitated and dispersed well on the fiber surface. The fluff pulp made from cellulose/CaCO3 modified fibers exhibited high effectiveness in the dry defibration process and good adsorption capacity due to the weak hydrogen bonding. The burst index of the handsheets decreased 31% (based on the ash content of 1.48 wt. %) without compromising the adsorption capacity of the fluff pulp.

Wood Pulp Fiber

New composite foams were prepared by using Melamine-Urea-Formaldehyde (MUF) resin and wood pulp fiber as raw materials with co-foaming method at 70°C in the opening mould. The study of the composites foam microstructure showed good adhesion between MUF matrix foam and wood pulp fiber. The flame-retardant, mechanical, anti-brittleness and insulation properties of composite foam were excellent. The results indicated that composites had superior properties enough to replace the conventional foam materials.
