Influence of red phosphorus on the flame-retardant properties of ethylene vinyl acetate/layered double hydroxides composites
Tóm tắt
Mg–Al–Fe ternary layered double hydroxides (LDHs) were synthesized based on Bayer red mud by a calcination–rehydration method, and characterized using powder X-ray diffraction and thermogravimetric analysis techniques. The synergistic flame-retardant effects of red phosphorus (RP) in ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA)/LDHs composites were studied with the limiting oxygen index (LOI), the UL 94 test, the cone calorimeter test (CCT), and the smoke density test (SDT). And, the thermal degradation behavior of the composites was examined by thermogravimetry-Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (TG-FTIR) analysis. Results showed that the LOI values of the composites with RP were basically higher than those of the pure EVA sample and composites containing LDHs only. And the addition of a suitable amount of RP in EVA/LDHs/RP composites can apparently favor UL 94 test. In the UL 94 test there was a V-1 rating and dripping phenomena for the composites containing 50 % LDHs. However, the composites containing 47.5 % LDHs and 2.5 % red phosphorus did not drip. The CCT results indicated that the heat release rate (HRR) of the EVA/LDHs/RP composites with a suitable amount of RP decreased in comparison with that of the EVA/LDHs composites. The SDT showed that RP was helpful to smoke suppression. TG-FTIR data showed that the EVA/LDHs/RP composites show a higher thermal stability than the EVA/LDHs composites. A suitable amount of RP in EVA/LDHs/RP composites resulted in an increase in LOI values, a decrease in the HRR, the achievement of the UL 94 V-1 rating with no dripping phenomenon, a good smoke suppression character, and a high thermal stability.
