Thermal Degradation Behavior

Cellulose treated with fire retardant was studied by thermogravimetry (TG), differential thermal analysis (DTA) and limiting oxygen index (LOI). The kinetic parameters for the thermal degradation are obtained following the method of Broido. For the fire retardant cellulose, the activation energy and decomposition temperature were much decreased while char yield and LOI were increased. The main thermal decomposition of the samples with higher LOI occurs at lower temperatures, while that with lower LOI occurs at higher temperatures.

In this research, the effect of diammoniumphosphate (DAP) as fire retardant additive during thermal degradation of wood samples from shorea obtuse (Dipterocarpaceae) has been investigated. Thermal properties of wood samples impregnated with DAP ranging from 0-40 %wt were characterized by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and limiting oxygen index (LOI). Leachability of DAP from impregnated samples kept under running water was also investigated. The results indicated that the rate of weight loss obtained from TGA reveal that impregnation of DAP reduced the degradation rate from 0.95%/°C to 0.56%/°C. Furthermore, LOI of woods specimens trended to be increase from 24.8 to 30.6 when they were treated with DAP having a range of 0-30 %wt. Based on the results of this study, wood samples impregnated with 30%wt of DAP can be classified as self-extinguishing materials and cloud meet the requirement for non-flammability in construction. The leachability test indicated that only trace amount of unreacted DAP leached from the samples.

The thermal stability of cotton cellulose treated with chemical mixtures containing P and N was studied by thermal analysis, infrared spectroscopy, char yield and limiting-oxygen-index (LOI). Our experiments demonstrated that the temperature and activation energy of pyrolysis were lower and the values of Char yield and LOI were greater for cotton cellulose treated with flame retardant than those for untreated sample.

Thermal Stability Of

Chitosan possess many attractive properties for applying as biomaterials. For some application, biomaterial devices have to be sterilized using high temperature, e.g. stream sterilizing process. However, thermal degradation behavior of chitosan has been reported previously. Many researchers have attempted to improve thermal degradation behavior of chitosan by synthesize chitosan derivatives or blending chitosan with other polymers or additives. However, chitosan derivatives found to be less thermal stability than chitosan itself. On the contrary, adding some lipid additive could improve thermal stability of chitosan. In this study, protecting effect of aluminum monostearate (Alst) on thermal stability of chitosan was investigated employing thermal analysis techniques, e.g. thermogravimetry (TG), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and hot-stage microscope. Lactic acid solution (2% w/v) was used as solvent for dissolving chitosan. Chitosan solution, named as chtiosan-lactate (CL) and chitosan solution contained 2.5% w/w Alst (CLAlst) were prepared and fabricated into sponges using freeze drying technique. Degradation temperature of CLAlst system investigated from TG was shifted to the higher temperature comparing that of CL which indicated that Alst could improve thermal stability of chitosan after processed as biomaterial. From DSC result, small endothermic peak was observed around 60-70°C for CLAlst whereas that of CL did not exhibit any peak. Melting behavior of the sponges observed under hot-stage microscope was demonstrated that chitosan was decomposed whereas Alst dispersed in chitosan backbone was gradually melted.

A novel liquid phosphorous-containing flame retardant anhydride (LPFA) with low viscosity was synthesized from 9,10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene-10-oxide (DOPO) and methyl tetrahydrophthalic anhydride (MeTHPA) and further cured with bisphenol-A epoxy resin E-51 for the preparation of the flame retardant epoxy resins. Both Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), mass spectrometry (MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements revealed the successful incorporation of DOPO on the molecular chains of MeTHPA through chemical reaction. The oxygen index analysis showed that the LPFA-cured epoxy resin exhibited excellent flame retardant performance, and the corresponding limiting oxygen index (LOI) value could reach 31.2%. The UL-94V-0 rating was achieved for the flame retardant epoxy resin with the phosphorus content of 2.7%. With the addition of LPFA, the impact strength of the cured epoxy resins remained almost unchanged, but the flexural strength gradually increased. Meanwhile, all the epoxy resins showed good thermal stability. The glass transition temperature (Tg) and thermal decomposition temperature (Td) of epoxy resin cured by LPFA decreased slightly compared with that of MeTHPA-cured epoxy resin. Based on such excellent flame retardancy, low viscosity at room temperature and ease of use, LPFA showed potential as an appropriate curing agent in the field of electrical insulation materials.

Kinetics Parameters

Wood has been treated with amino resins and amino resins modified with phosphoric acid to impart flame retardancy. The thermal degradation of samples has been studied by thermogravimetry (TG) in air. From the resulting data, kinetic parameters for different stages of thermal degradation are obtained following the method of Broido. For the decomposition of wood and flame retardant wood, the activation energy is found to decrease from 122 to 72 kJmol-1.
