Modified ammonium polyphosphate (MAPP) was prepared as a novel mono-component intumescent flame retardant (IFR) via the ionic exchange between ammonium polyphosphate (APP) and piperazine sulfonate, which is synthesized by self-assembly using 1-(2-aminoethyl) piperazine (AEP) and p-aminobenzene sulfonic acid (ASC) as raw materials. This all-in-one IFR integrating three functional elements (carbon, acid, and gas source) showed more efficient flame retardancy and excellent smoke suppression as well as better mechanical properties than the conventional APP. The incorporation of 22.5 wt.% MAPP into polypropylene (PP) eliminated the melt dripping phenomenon and passed the UL-94 V-0 rating. The results of the cone calorimetry test (CCT) revealed that the release of heat, smoke, and CO is significantly decreased, demonstrating that this novel IFR endows PP with excellent fire safety more effectively. For PP/MAPP composites, a possible IFR mechanism was proposed based on the analysis of the pyrolysis gas and char residues.

A piperazine phosphate doped with Mn2+ (HP-Mn), as a new char-forming agent for intumescent flame retardant systems (IFR), was designed and synthesized using 1-hydroxy ethylidene-1,1-diphosphonic acid, piperazine, and manganese acetate tetrahydrate as raw materials. The effect of HP-Mn and ammonium polyphosphate (APP) on the fire safety and thermal stability of polypropylene (PP) was investigated. The results showed that the combined incorporation of 25 wt.% APP/HP-Mn at a ratio of 1:1 endowed the flame retardant PP (PP6) composite with the limiting oxygen index (LOI) of 30.7% and UL-94 V-0 rating. In comparison with the pure PP, the peak heat release rate (PHRR), the total heat release (THR), and the smoke production rate (PSPR) of the PP6 were reduced by 74%, 30%, and 70%, respectively. SEM and Raman analysis of the char residues demonstrated that the Mn2+ displayed a catalytic cross-linking charring ability to form a continuous and compact carbon layer with a high degree of graphitization, which can effectively improve the flame retardancy of PP/APP composites. A possible flame-retardant mechanism was proposed to reveal the synergistic effect between APP and HP-Mn.

Thermoplastic Polyurethane Elastomer

In our previous work, ammonium polyphosphate (APP) microcapsule with the shell of boron modified phenolic resin (BPF) was prepared, recorded as BPFAPP. However, the compatibility and the flame retardancy of BPFAPP in thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer (TPU) are still not very good due to the brittle and hard shell wall. To improve the brittleness of microcapsules shell and the property reinforcements of APP in TPU, APP was encapsulated with the tung oil and boron modified phenolic resin (TBPF) in this paper, recorded as TBPFAPP. The property reinforcements of TBPFAPP in TPU were studied. The thermogravimetry, limiting oxygen index and cone calorimetry analysis showed that TPU/TBPFAPP composite had higher char yield and better flame resistance. The tensile strength and elongation at break showed that the mechanical properties were also significantly improved due to the introduction of α-Eleostearate.

The work focuses on the development of a new process to flame retard nonwovens, using films based on renewable resources. Films consist in intumescent formulations of polylactic acid (PLA), ammonium polyphosphate (APP) blended with lignin or starch and are coated on hemp or wool nonwovens. The objective of this study was to investigate the fire retardant and mechanical properties of textiles protected by FR PLA films for potential use in building applications. Horizontal and vertical flame spread tests as well as cone calorimetry tests show that flammability properties of nonwovens are significantly improved. Better mechanical properties are also obtained with coated nonwovens.

Metal Ions Removal

Ionic exchange of multi-components titanium tungstophosphate nanoparticles (TiWP-NPs) were prepared using sol-gel reaction of titanium isoperoxide and tungestophosphoric acid (TPA) in presence of CTAB surfactant. The X-ray, BET and TEM characterizations showed that the nanoparticles exhibit the characteristic structure of titanium tungstophosphate and a BET surface area of 74 ± 3 m2/g was achieved. The TPA has shown an effect on the self-assembly process and maintains the TPA content to minimum would be beneficial for obtaining higher surface area of TiWP nanoparticles. Metal ions adsorption of Cu(II), Pb(II) or Cd(II) using the resulting titanium tungstophosphate nanparticles materials is investigated and up to 95% removal percentage was achieved. Using this method, nanoparticles of ionic exchange titanium tungstophosphate can be synthesized in the form of powder and amenable to mass production.

Microencapsulated Ammonium Polyphosphate

Ammonium-polyphosphate (APP) was modified by microencapsulation with a bio-based sorbitol polyglycidyl ether (SPE)-type epoxy resin and used as a flame retardant additive in polylactic acid (PLA) matrix. The bioresin-encapsulated APP (MCAPP) particles were characterized using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and Raman mapping, particle size distribution was determined by processing of scanning electron microscopic (SEM) images. Interaction between the APP core and the bioresin shell was revealed by combined thermogravimetric analysis (TGA)‑FTIR spectroscopy. The APP to SPE mass ratio of 10 to 2 was found to be optimal in terms of thermal, flammability, and mechanical properties of 15 wt% additive containing biocomposites. The bioresin shell effectively promotes the charring of the APP-loaded PLA composites, as found using TGA and cone calorimetry, and eliminates the flammable dripping of the specimens during the UL-94 vertical burning tests. Thus, the V-0 rating, the increased limiting oxygen index, and the 20% reduced peak of the heat release rate was reached compared to the effects of neat APP. Furthermore, better interfacial interaction of the MCAPP with PLA was indicated by differential scanning calorimetry and SEM observation. The stiff interphase resulted in increased modulus of these composites. Besides, microencapsulation provided improved water resistance to the flame retardant biopolymer system.
