Abstract:

Based on the molecular structure design, a new type of flame retardant named six[4-(5,5-methyl-1,3,2-dioxanone endophosphoryl) phenoxy] cyclotriphosphazene(HDDCPPCP) was prepared by hexachloro-cyclotriphosphazene, p-hydroxybenzaldehyde, phosphorus oxychloride and neopentyl glycol. This new flame retardant, ammonium polyphosphate(APP) and multi walled carbon nanotubes(MWCNT) were added to epoxy resin(EP). After that, the HDDCPPCP/APP/MWCNT/EP flame-retardant composites were prepared. Limiting oxygen index(LOI), horizontal burning(UL-94), cone calorimetry(CONE), tensile, bending and impact methods were used to study the combustion, thermal and mechanical properties of the flame-retardant composites. The experimental results show that the combustion parameters of EP2(HDDCPPCP/APP/MWCNT/EP) composites perform better when the total mass of fraction of flame retardant system is 30% and the mass fraction of MWCNT is 2%. The LOI of EP2 is 42.8%, it shows good flame retardancy, smoke suppression and anti-poisoning properties. The peak heat release rate(pk-HRR), average heat release rate(av-HRR), average effective heat combustion(av-EHC), and average CO release rate(av-CO) of EP2 are respectively reduced by 92.5%, 93.0%, 65.2%, and 66.6% compared with EP0. EP2 have good tensile strength, break elongation, bending strength and bending modulus, which are respectively 110.46 MPa, 6.24%, 1259.99 MPa and 377.72 MPa.
