Abstract:

Three phosphorus flame retardants 9,10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphafi-10-oxide (DOPO), ammonium polyphosphate (APP) and melamine polyphosphate (MPP) are intercalated into magnesium-aluminium type hydrotalcite (MAH) sheets by direct solvent-free preparation method, and three MAH compounds containing phosphorus flame retardants (DOPO-MAH, APP-MAH and MPP-MAH) are obtained. The three MAH compounds are added into thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) to obtain their composites by hot-pressing. The compounds are characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and their composites are characterized via cone calorimetry. The results show that the dispersion of MPP in MAH is poor; the dispersion of DOPO and APP in MAH is better and the distribution of elemental phosphorus is uniform. The initial interlayer spacing of MAH is 4.11 nm. Both APP and MPP are intercalated at 0.5 h, and the final interlayer spacing is reduced to 3.93 and 4.04 nm, respectively. DOPO is completed after 0.5 h, and the interlayer spacing of the intercalated MAH is smaller, 3.86 nm. Compared with composites made from physical mixtures, the peak heat release rate of (DOPO-MAH-6h)/TPU and (APP-MAH-6h)/TPU is decreased from 669.3 kW/m2 to 573.9 kW/m2 and from 657.7 kW/m2 to 405.9 kW/m2. (MPP-MAH-6h)/TPU have no difference with (MPP+MAH)/TPU in peak heat release rate. Compared to the peak heat release rate of TPU, 1236.6 kW/m2, the peak heat release rate of (DOPO-MAH-6h)/TPU, (APP-MAH-6h)/TPU and (MPP-MAH-6h)/TPU was reduced by 53%, 67% and 57%, respectively. The results indicate that DOPO-MAH, APP-MAH and MPP-MAH can be used to improve the flame retardant properties of TPU, however, DOPO-MAH and APP-MAH have better prospects for flame retardant applications in TPU.
