Abstract
Conventional intumescent flame retardant (IFR) is comprised of multiple components (acid, carbon, and gas source). In comparison, “all-in-one” design of mono-component IFR is effective to impart the homogeneity to functional sources in polymer matrix, which is significant to improve the synergy against combustion. In this work, a core-shell structured mono-component IFR (MAPP@FDS) are prepared with ammonium polyphosphate (APP) and furfural-derived Schiff base (FDS) and applied to modification of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). TPU composite with the as-prepared mono-component IFR (TPU/MAPP@FDS) exhibits V-0 rating in UL-94 test and a limiting oxygen index (LOI) value of 32.0%, with prominent bulkiness of carbonaceous layer. Cone calorimetry tests (CCTs) showed a significant reduction in total heat release (THR) and peak heat release rate (pHRR) for TPU/MAPP@FDS compared with the TPU composites with multi-component IFR. By analyzing the morphology and composition of residual char, the flame-retardant mechanism of TPU/MAPP@FDS is reasonably proposed. This work illustrates the superiority of the integration to prepare mono-component IFR and provides a potential method in developing TPU composites with remarkable flame retardancy.
Highlights
TPU/MAPP@FDS achieves a LOI value of 32.0% and UL-94 V-0 rating.
