A novel flame retardant additive, DOPO-based polymeric phosphate (PFR-D), which simultaneously contained phosphorus and sulfur, was synthesized from 9,10-dihyro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphnanthrene-10-oxide (DOPO), POCl3 and bisphenol S. And the structure of PFR-D has been characterized by 1H-NMR, 31P-NMR and FT-IR. PFR-D was used as additive in polycarbonate/acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene alloy (PC/ABS). The UL94 V-0 rating was achieved by addition of 5-7% PFR-D in PC/ABS, the LOI reached 27.5%. The thermal degradation of PFR-D and polymers with it was investigated by TGA, and the results showed that addition of PFR-D apparently changed the pyrolysis pathways of PC/ABS. The TGA curves indicated that the flame retardant effect was attributed to promoting the char yield by involving the polymer in charring.

Polycondensation reaction was employed to synthesize a new copolymer resin (p-NP-4,4′-MDA-F) from p-nitrophenol (p-NP) and 4,4′-methylene dianiline (4,4′-MDA) with formaldehyde (F) in presence of 2 M hydrochloric acid as a catalyst at130±1°C. The resin was characterized by elemental analysis and spectral studies such as UV-visible, FT-IR, and1H-NMR spectra which were used to confine the most probable structure of synthesized copolymer. Thermal degradation pattern and kinetics have been investigated by thermogravimetric analysis. Thermal degradation curve have been studied with minute detail for each degradation step. Friedman, Chang, Sharp-Wentworth, Freeman-Carroll, and Coat-Redfern methods have been implemented in order to compute the kinetic parameters, that is, thermal activation energy (Ea), order of reaction (n), and frequency factor (z).

For achieving sufficient flame retardancy, high magnesim hydroxide (MH) content is needed in MH flame retardant Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer (ABS) composites (ABS/MH), which will cause a great decrease in mechanical property and difficulty in preparing samples for measurement. We prepared ABS/MH filled high 60.0% flame retardant by compounding ABS and modified flame retardant MH, fumed silica (SiO2) and zinc borate (ZB) via TX-10 phosphate/polyacrylate latex and studied the effect of a small amount of SiO2 and ZB with MH in ABS for improving the thermal decomposition of ABS/MH. The thermal stability of the modified flame retardant could meet the processing temperature of ABS. The incorporation of ZB, SiO2 or SiO2/ZB could improve the thermal stability of ABS/MH.

This work presents an in-depth kinetic study of the thermal degradation of recycled acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) polymer. Non-isothermal thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) data in nitrogen atmosphere at different heating rates comprised between 2 and 30 K min−1 were used to obtain the apparent activation energy (Ea) of the thermal degradation process of ABS by isoconversional (differential and integral) model-free methods. Among others, the differential Friedman method was used. Regarding integral methods, several methods with different approximations of the temperature integral were used, which gave different accuracies in Ea. In particular, the Flynn-Wall-Ozawa (FWO), the Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose (KAS), and the Starink methods were used. The results obtained by these methods were compared to the Kissinger method based on peak temperature (Tm) measurements at the maximum degradation rate. Combined Kinetic Analysis (CKA) was also carried out by using a modified expression derived from the general Sestak-Berggren equation with excellent results compared with the previous methods. Isoconversional methods revealed negligible variation of Ea with the conversion. Furthermore, the reaction model was assessed by calculating the characteristic and functions and comparing them with some master plots, resulting in a nth order reaction model with n = 1.4950, which allowed calculating the pre-exponential factor (A) of the Arrhenius constant. The results showed that Ea of the thermal degradation of ABS was 163.3 kJ mol−1, while ln A was 27.5410 (A in min−1). The predicted values obtained by integration of the general kinetic expression with the calculated kinetic triplet were in full agreement with the experimental data, thus giving evidence of the accuracy of the obtained kinetic parameters.
