Abstract
Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) is highly flammable and UV aging, limiting its application in the field of new energy and electronic device. In this work, a novel macromolecular aromatic phosphonate Bis(4-(((diphenylphosphinyl)oxy)methyl)phenyl)phenylphosphonate (DMP) containing both P-C and P=O was successfully prepared by nucleophilic substitution reaction. The DMP was introduced into the TPU matrix to prepare multifunctional TPU composites. Condensed and gas phase analysis have shown that the flame retardant mechanism of DMP was mainly influenced by flame retardant inhibition and the barrier effect of char layer. Only 5 wt% DMP enabled TPU to obtain the UL-94V-0 rating with the LOI of 27.6 %. Compared with pure TPU, the HRR and THR of TPU/5 wt% DMP were decreased by 19.8 % and 13.2 %. Meanwhile, the matching of the melting point for DMP and the processing temperature for TPU increased its dispersion in TPU matrix. Due to the excellent compatibility between DMP and TPU, TPU/DMP composites almost retained their original transparency and ductility. In addition, TPU/DMP composites exhibited excellent UV resistance, obtaining 100 % UV shielding at UV-B wavelengths and up to 97 % UV isolation at UV-A wavelengths. The study introduced a novel approach for preparing multifunctional flame retardant additives, and opened up wide application prospects for high-performance flame retardant TPU composites in emerging fields such as rail transit and electronic packaging.
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.
