A facile biomass-based coating for flax fabric toward plant fiber/biobased epoxy composite with enhanced fire safety
The natural abundance, biodegradability, and low density of plant fibers, together with biobased epoxy thermoset resin, have driven the increasing popularity of plant fiber/polymer composites (PFRPs) to wider applications in various industries. However, the striving for biomass-based flame retardants (FRs) treatment for PFRPs remained a bottleneck due to polymers’ inherent vulnerability against fire and the increasing environmental awareness. In this work, a facile two-step aqueous solution coating process was proposed for fabric surface treatment of flax fabric using fully biobased phytic acid and chitosan from polysaccharides. The treated flax fabric demonstrated self-extinguishing behavior when ignited and showed a decrease in peak heat release rate (PHRR) by 58% under combustion. The laminate produced by this treated flax fabric and biobased epoxy resin showed a decrease of PHRR by 36% and an increase of more than 200% for the time of torch fire burn-through, demonstrating intriguing flame retardance brought by only FRs treatment on flax fabric reinforcements. Various measurements were done to elaborate on the role of treated flax fabric in the flame retardancy of polymer composites.
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.
