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.

A 9,10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene 10-oxide (DOPO) acrylate, (6-oxidodibenzo [c,e][1,2] oxaphosphinin-6-yl) methyl acrylate (DOPOAA), has been prepared. Copolymers of styrene (St) and DOPOAA were prepared by emulsion polymerization. The chemical structures of copolymers containing levels of DOPOAA were verified using Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR) spectroscopy. The thermal properties and flame-retardant behaviors of DOPO-containing monomers and copolymers were observed using thermogravimetric analysis and micro calorimetry tests. From thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), it was found out that the T5% for decomposition of the copolymer was lower than that of polystyrene (PS), but the residue at 700 °C was higher than that of PS. The results from micro calorimetry (MCC) tests indicated that the rate for the heat release of the copolymer combustion was lower than that for PS. The limiting oxygen index (LOI) for combustion of the copolymer rose with increasing levels of DOPOAA. These data indicate that copolymerization of the phosphorus-containing flame-retardant monomer, DOPOAA, into a PS segment can effectively improve the thermal stability and flame retardancy of the copolymer.

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 work, a halogen-free intumescent combining phosphorus and nitrogen, flame-retardant 2-((2-hydroxyphenyl)(phenylamino)methyl5,5-dimethyl-1,3,2-dioxaphosphinane 2-oxide (HAPO) was successfully synthesized. It had been synthesized by reaction of 5,5-dimethyl-1,3, 2-dioxphosphinane 2-oxide with Schiff base. Its chemical structure was characterized in detail by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, 1H NMR, and 31P NMR spectrum. The flame-retardant polyurethanes were prepared with different loadings of HAPO. The thermal properties, flame retardancy and combustion behavior of the pure polyurethane foam thermosets were investigated by a series of measurements involving thermogravimetric analysis, limited oxygen index measurement, UL-94 vertical burning test, and cone calorimeter test. The results of the aforementioned tests indicated that HAPO can significantly improve the flame retardancy as well as smoke inhibition performance of polyurethane foam. Compared with the PU-Neat, the limited oxygen index of flame-retardant polyurethanes (15%) thermoset was increased from 19.5% to 23.8% and its UL-94 reached V-0 rating. In addition, the cone test results showed that the heat release rate, total heat release, rate of smoke release, and total smoke production of flame-retardant polyurethanes (10%) were decreased obvious sly. The apparent morphology of carbon residue was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, and results revealed that the modified polyurethane foam can form dense carbon layer after combustion. Thermogravimetric analysis results also indicated that the char amount of flame-retardant polyurethanes was obviously increased compared with PU-Neat. Based on the above analysis, we can draw the conclusions which in the condensed phase, phosphorus-based acids from the degradation of HAPO, this could promote the formation of continuous and dense phosphorus-rich carbon layer. In the gas phase, the flame-retardant mechanism was ascribed to the quenching effect of phosphorus-based radicals and diluting effect by non-flammable gases.

DOPO and its derivatives are excellent phosphorus-based flame retardants, which are applied to a series of polymer materials. In this article, a DOPO derivative bearing an active terminal epoxy group was synthesized using a non-solvent method. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance, mass spectrometry, ultra-performance liquid chromatography, differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, and viscosity measurements were performed to determine its molecular structure, purity, thermal performance, and fluidity. A possible fragmentation mechanism of the as-prepared DOPO derivative was analyzed using electron ionization mass spectrometer. All the results indicate that the synthesis was successful and the product had satisfactory purity and its initial decomposition temperature (T5%) under nitrogen and air atmosphere was 246°C and 240°C, respectively. Then, as a comparison with dimethyl methyl phosphonate, triethyl phosphate, and DOPO, e-DOPO was applied to a rigid polyurethane foam to investigate its effect on the flame retardancy, thermal stability, and cell morphology of polyurethane foam by limiting oxygen index, cone calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, and scanning electron microscopy. The results indicate that e-DOPO has a greater effect than DOPO and can effectively reduce the heat release and smoke release and improve the limiting oxygen index and thermal performance of the polyurethane foam. The cell size of the sample containing e-DOPO was more uniform.

Recycled-polyester (RPET) was melt blended with the phosphorus-containing flame retardant (FRP) and α-zirconium phosphate (α-ZrP). The thermal properties of RPET/FRP/α-ZrP composites were analyzed. Modified RPET fibers were prepared through melt spinning of dried RPET nanocomposite chips. The mechanical properties and fire-retardant properties of RPET/FRP/α-ZrP fibers containing different α-ZrP contents were tested. The results show that the synergism of α-ZrP and FRP exerts a positive effect on the mechanical and the flame-retardant property of RPET, leading to nanocomposite fibers of 1.9cN/dtex and 31.6% limiting oxygen index (LOI) value.

Polyimide Nanocomposite

Polyimide-graphene composites were synthesized by in-situ condensation polymerization and the thermal stability and decomposition behavior of the composites were studied. Polyimides, because of their aromatic backbone, are a class of fire-retardant polymers. Their high char retention ≥50% at testing temperatures ≥600 °C makes them thermally stable polymers. The effect of nanographene sheets on the decomposition behavior of polyimide is presented in this paper. It is shown that the reinforcement of polyimide with nanographene sheets significantly decreased the rate of decomposition of polyimide and increased the char retention of the composite. Thermogravimetric analysis data were used to assess the thermal stability, rate of mass loss and predicted limiting oxygen index of the neat polyimide and composites. Results obtained showed around a 43% decrease in the rate of polyimide degradation at 50 wt.% graphene loading. The limiting oxygen index of the polyimide nanocomposite was calculated by using the char retention, and it was found to increase by up to 24% at 50 wt.% graphene loading over that for the neat matrix.

Grouting Materials

Epoxy resin (EP) mortar usually used to repair the cracking of concrete structure under damp environment, but EP is extremely flammable, thus it’s extremely imperative to design a novel multifunction EP grouting materials with flame retardancy and waterproofness for the practical application. Targeting ingenious decoration of EP grouting materials, multiple flame retardant elements (phosphorus, nitrogen and fluorine) are concurrently introduced into a fire retardant and the fire retardant defined as DDM-FNP. The obtained DDM-FNP/EP grouting composite possess high thermal stability, flame retardancy and hydrophobicity. The limiting oxygen index (LOI) value of DDM-FNP/EP composites has a significant improve, which is increased from 26.7 (EP-0) to 35.8 (EP-4). Composites with more than 10 wt% of DDM-FNP could pass UL-94 V-0 rating without dripping. Compared with EP-0, the PHRR and THR of EP-4 are decreased by 31.1% and 21.6%, respectively. In addition, due to the introduction of the F element, the water contact angle of EP composites is changed from 75.2° (hydrophilicity) to 98.6° (hydrophobicity) after the introduction of a certain amount of DDM-FNP flame retardant. Therefore, this work provide a new perspective to design a multifunction EP grouting composite and improve the value of practical application on seepage prevention of tunnel.
