Thermal Stability Of

A novel group of silsesquioxane derivatives, which are siloxane-silsesquioxane resins (S4SQ), was for the first time examined as possible flame retardants in polypropylene (PP) materials. Thermal stability of the PP/S4SQ composites compared to the S4SQ resins and neat PP was estimated using thermogravimetric (TG) analysis under nitrogen and in air atmosphere. The effects of the non-functionalized and n-alkyl-functionalized siloxane-silsesquioxane resins on thermostability and flame retardancy of PP materials were also evaluated by thermogravimetry-Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (TG-FTIR) and by cone calorimeter tests. The results revealed that the functionalized S4SQ resins may form a continuous ceramic layer on the material surface during its combustion, which improves both thermal stability and flame retardancy of the PP materials. This beneficial effect was observed especially when small amounts of the S4SQ fillers were applied. The performed analyses allowed us to propose a possible mechanism for the degradation of the siloxane-silsesquioxane resins, as well as to explain their possible role during the combustion of the PP/S4SQ composites.

The jute and polypropylene fiber (PP) were formed into jute/PP composite by carding, netting and needling. Using surface dusting process, β-CD and ammonium phosphate (APP) were combined and hot pressed to form a flame-retardant layer on the surface of jute/PP composite. The results show that the thermal compression film formation on the surface of jute/PP composite after β-CD and APP compounding can significantly improve the flame retardancy and thermal stability of the jute/PP composite. When the mass ratio of β-CD to APP is 1:2 and keeping the 20wt% total content of the flame retardants, the jute/PP composite becomes extinguished after 58s combustion. The limiting oxygen index (LOI) value is 26.6%, which reaches the third fire resistance according to Japan's JISD 1201-77 standard. The heat release rate and effective combustion calorific show the lowest value and the carbon residual at 700°C is increased by 11. 68%.

Poly(butylene succinate) is one of the most promising biodegradable polymers, but its applications are limited by poor flame retardancy. In this work, poly(butylene succinate)/diethylphosphinate (PBS/AlPi) composites were fabricated to investigate the effect of AlPi on their thermal stability, flame retardancy, and mechanical properties. It was found that the high content of AlPi decreased the thermal stability of PBS, and the decrease became stronger under the air atmosphere. When the content of AlPi reached 25wt%, the flame retardancy was improved with limited oxygen index (LOI) of 29.5%, V0 rating in UL-94 vertical burning test, and 49.3% reduction on the peak of heat release rate (PHRR) in cone calorimeter test. Meanwhile, the addition of AlPi could improve the mechanical properties of PBS with high tensile strength and Young’s modulus, which was ascribed to the compatible effect of maleic anhydride-grafted poly(butylene succinate) (PBS-g-MA) with good filler dispersion and strong matrix-particles interaction. Thus, the AlPi was an effective flame retardant to PBS, so that PBS/AlPi composites displayed excellent flame retardancy without seriously sacrificing other comprehensive performances.

Composites based on polypropylene (PP) and sisal fiber (SF) were prepared by melt blending. Sisal fiber content was 30 phr. Organoclay (OMMT; Cloisite®30B) (1-7 phr) was incorporated into the composites. In addition, maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene (MAPP) was used as a compatibilizer to enhance the interfacial adhesion between PP matrix and sisal fiber and also to improve the dispersion of the organoclay in PP matrix. The addition of OMMT had insignificantly affected mechanical properties of SF/PP composites. However, flame retardancy and thermal stability of SF/PP composites were improved dramatically with the presence of OMMT.

Si3N4/polyimide hybrid films based on 4,4-oxydianiline (ODA) and pyromellitic dianhydride(PMDA) were prepared by incorporation with different content of nano-sized Si3N4. In this study, the effect of Si3N4 on the microstructure of the Si3N4/polyimide film was characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometry (FTIR), scanning electron microscope (SEM). The dependence of mechanical properties and thermal stability of the Si3N4/polyimide film were also investigated. The hardness from unload of the Si3N4/polyimide film were expressly investigated for the first time.
