Abstract
Phenylphosphonyl dichloride (BPOD) and 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) were used to prepare phosphorus-nitrogen hexaethoxysilane (BPTES). BPTES was then used for cross-linking and curing hydroxyl‑terminated room-temperature vulcanized (RTV) silicone rubber, providing intrinsic flame retardancy. In addition, halloysite (HNTs) is a kind of tubular silicate, taking advantage of its large aspect ratio, HNTs were used as a template to load ZIF67 on the surface of halloysite to obtain HNTs@ZIF tubular filler. It was added to the above system as a reinforcing and flame-retardant filler by physical blending, and the RTV elastomer with excellent performance was prepared. The successful preparation of phosphorus-containing crosslinkers (BPTES) was demonstrated by FT-IR. After the introduction of the new crosslinker, RTV not only has improved flame retardant performance, but also improved mechanical properties. The tensile strength and elongation at break of RTV with 20 wt.% BPTES are increased by 151 % and 211 %, respectively. The peak heat release rate (pHRR) and the peak of smoke production rate (pSPR) are reduced by 55.9 % and 48.6 %, respectively, and the thermal stability is also improved. In addition, the successful preparation of HNTs@ZIF was confirmed by FT-IR, XRD, XPS, and TEM. By introducing 2 wt.% HNTs@ZIF into 20 wt.% BPTES cured RTV, the intrinsically flame-retardant RTVs with enhanced performance were prepared. It is worth noting that when 2 wt.% HNTs@ZIF is added, the flame retardant and smoke suppression properties of phosphorus-containing silicone rubber are further improved. Because the ZIF contains cobalt metal ions that can be catalyzed into carbon. The pHRR and pSPR decrease by 18.3 % and 16.3 %, respectively, and the total heat release (THR) and total smoke production (TSP) decrease by 23.6 % and 24.4 %, respectively. This work will provide enlightenment for the study of intrinsic flame-retardant RTVs enhanced by modified halloysite.
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.
