Internal Mixer

Blends of natural rubber (NR) and polypropylene (PP) with composition of 60/40 %wt were prepared by using an internal mixer to obtain thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV). Aluminium trihydrate (ATH) and magnesium hydroxide (MH) were used as fillers to improve thermal stability and fire retardant properties. Three different mixing methods were used to incorporate the fillers into the TPVs, which were (1) compounding of NR and filler followed by dynamic vulcanization of NR during blending with PP, (2) compounding of NR with a half part of filler (and oil) followed by dynamic vulcanization of NR when blending with PP before adding another half part of filler into the blend (3) melt mixing of PP, NR and filler followed by dynamic vulcanization during mixing. The incorporation of ATH and MH decreased tensile strength and elongation at break of the TPVs, but increased the thermal stability and LOI%. From this work, the mixing of filler with NR/PP blend by using method 3 provided better balance of tensile, thermal and fire resistant properties and processing cost reduction.

Main Factors

Based on the generalization of research results on the processes of obtaining SiO2 sols using tetraethoxysilane and ethyl silicates, the main factors influencing the elasticity of silica coatings on cotton fabrics and their fire-retardant properties are considered. The possibility of forming covalent bonds between the functional groups of cellulose, gel coating and flame retardant layer is considered, which explains the strong fixation of a thin layer of coating on the fibers of the fabric and improve its fire protection. The use of the developed compositions for fire-retardant elastic coatings based on ethyl silicate allows to increase the time of complete burning of cotton from 30s (untreated fabric) to 600s (treated with binary coating).

Several treatments of wood, based on laccase assisted grafting, were evaluated in this paper. Firstly, the efficacy of lignosulfonate and kraft lignin from Eucalyptus spp. as a wood preservative was assessed. Both ligno products were anchored to wood surfaces via laccase treatment in order to avoid leaching. Moreover, some of these wood preservative treatments were completed with the addition of silver nanoparticles. For comparison, a commercial product was also analyzed in terms of its fungal decay resistance during surface application, in accordance to use class 3, CEN EN 335. Secondly, the anchoring of a flame retardant based on tetrabromobisphenol-A (TBBPA) was attempted, to limit the dispersion of this toxic substance from treated wood. In both cases, kraft lignin and lignosulfonate showed an improvement in wood durability, even after leaching. However, the addition of silver nanoparticles did not improve the efficacy. On the other hand, the efficacy of TBBPA as a flame retardant was not improved by grafting it with laccase treatment or by adding O2, a co-factor of laccase.

Silicate fireproof coatings for tunnels (FCT) have many eminent properties. But low adhesion strength and poor water/fire-resistance of this kind of materials largely limit its applications. Here we reported a new kind of FCT based on high alumina cement as principle adhesive, redispersible powder as assisting adhesive, ammonium polyphosphate as fire-retardant material, vermiculite as adiabatic padding, and magnesium hydroxide as assisting reagents. The influence of various experimental conditions on fire resistance, adhesion strength and water resistance were carefully studied. Results showed that dispersible emulsoid powder was a key component affecting adhesion strength and water resistance of FCT, whereas fire-retardant material posed significant effects on the fire resistance.
