The synergistic effect of inorganic hybrid nanofibers and phytic acid-based nanosheets towards improving the fire retardancy and comprehensive performance of epoxy resin
eXPRESS Polymer Letters(2023)
摘要
Usually, it is difficult to achieve satisfactory fire retardancy of epoxy resin (EP) at low addition by adding inorganic nano-fillers alone. Herein, sepiolite nanofibers loaded with layered double metal hydroxide (a-SEP@LDH) and phosphorus/ni-trogen-containing flame retardant nanosheets (PAMA) were prepared via hydrothermal method, respectively. The UL-94 V-0 rating and an limiting oxygen index (LOI) value of 31.6% were achieved for EP by loading 1 wt% a-SEP@LDH and 2 wt% PAMA. Compared to adding sole a-SEP@LDH, the thermal stability of EP/a-SEP@LDH/PAMA3 was improved signifi-cantly, the total heat release (THR) and peak heat release rate (pHRR) decreased by 10.2 and 28.8%, respectively. Addition-ally, the total CO2 production decreased by 12.5% and the char residue yield increased to 19.9 wt%. Moreover, the tensile strength and impact strength of the EP composites were remarkably improved owing to the incorporation of PAMA. To sum up, this work provides an environmentally benign, low-cost and efficient way for EP to achieve outstanding fire retardance, thermal stability and high mechanical properties at a low addition.
