Abstract
Although epoxy asphalt (EA) mixtures have been widely used for the pavement in tunnels, it was limited by its flammability, poor compatibility and low mechanical property. To solve the above problems, a compatibilized and toughening flame retardant (ESO-AA-DOPO) was prepared via the epoxidized soybean oil (ESO), arachidonic acid (AA) and 9,10-Dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene 10-oxide (DOPO). The presence of ESO-AA-DOPO significantly improved the flame retardancy, in which passing the UL-94 V-2 rating. The peak heat release rate (PHRR) reducing by 46.2 % for EA/40A-ESO-AA-DOPO composites comparing to that of pure EA. The analysis of char residue confirmed that the catalytic formation of dense and continuous char layer residue with good thermal oxidation stability originating from the ESO-AA-DOPO. The initial stage viscosity of ESO-AA-DOPO modified EA was lower than that of pure EA. Under the action of aliphatic epoxy resin and double bond, the molecular chain of epoxy resin presented a network structure, the base asphalt was divided into micelles, and the overall distribution of EA system was a 3D networks “sea-island”, which ensuring the increase in the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the EA system. The tensile strength and elongation at break of EA/40A-ESO-AA-DOPO composites were 123 % and 207 % higher than those of pure EA attributing to the improved compatibility and the formation of 3D networks “sea-island” structure.
期刊介绍：
Polymer Degradation and Stability deals with the degradation reactions and their control which are a major preoccupation of practitioners of the many and diverse aspects of modern polymer technology.
Deteriorative reactions occur during processing, when polymers are subjected to heat, oxygen and mechanical stress, and during the useful life of the materials when oxygen and sunlight are the most important degradative agencies. In more specialised applications, degradation may be induced by high energy radiation, ozone, atmospheric pollutants, mechanical stress, biological action, hydrolysis and many other influences. The mechanisms of these reactions and stabilisation processes must be understood if the technology and application of polymers are to continue to advance. The reporting of investigations of this kind is therefore a major function of this journal.
However there are also new developments in polymer technology in which degradation processes find positive applications. For example, photodegradable plastics are now available, the recycling of polymeric products will become increasingly important, degradation and combustion studies are involved in the definition of the fire hazards which are associated with polymeric materials and the microelectronics industry is vitally dependent upon polymer degradation in the manufacture of its circuitry. Polymer properties may also be improved by processes like curing and grafting, the chemistry of which can be closely related to that which causes physical deterioration in other circumstances.
