Flame-retardant high polymer material and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of high polymer fireproof materials, in particular to a flame-retardant high polymer material and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Polypropylene, a widely used thermoplastic polymer material, is extremely flammable, and once ignited, releases a large amount of heat in a short time, and also releases a large amount of smoke and toxic gases, so that it is important to reduce the flammability of PP.
At present, the common method for improving the flame retardance of the high polymer material is to prepare the flame-retardant high polymer material. Generally, the preparation method of the flame retardant polymer material mainly comprises the following three steps: (1) preparing an intrinsic flame-retardant high polymer material; (2) an additive flame-retardant polymer material; (3) the flame-retardant coating is a flame-retardant high polymer material. The flame-retardant coating flame-retardant polymer material is a novel method with good application prospect, and is a method for obtaining the flame-retardant polymer material by firstly preparing flame-retardant slurry (comprising a flame retardant, an auxiliary agent, a solvent and the like) and then coating the flame-retardant slurry on the surface of a substrate in a certain mode (such as a pulling method, a spraying method, a blade coating method, a hot pressing method and the like). The coating not only can endow the substrate with good comprehensive properties without influencing the mechanical properties of the substrate, so that the improvement of the flame retardance of the polymer substrate through the coating is the most promising flame retardance way.
Since the first full introduction of intumescent coatings in 1971 by HL Vandersall, intumescent coatings have evolved rapidly, with intumescent flame retardant coatings being commonly used to improve the flame retardancy of metals, wood and fabrics, whereas intumescent flame retardant coatings are less used to improve the flame retardancy of PP, mainly for several reasons: (1) the weak adhesion to the flame retardant coating makes it difficult to apply the coating to the surface of PP; (2) a greater thickness to obtain good flame retardancy limits the use of PP in certain fields; (3) the coating lacks toughness and easily falls off when the PP is deformed. Therefore, in order to introduce a flame retardant coating to the surface of PP to reduce the fire risk of PP, an effective way to solve the above problems has to be sought.

Preferably, the hot melt temperature is 130-.
According to the third technical scheme, the flame-retardant high polymer material is applied to a fireproof material.
Compared with the prior art, the technical scheme of the invention has the following beneficial effects:
the flame-retardant high polymer material prepared by the invention takes polypropylene as a base material, a certain amount of polyacrylamide, polysiloxane, ammonium polyphosphate, melamine, chlorinated paraffin, graphene, nano magnesium hydroxide, nano aluminum hydroxide, antimony trioxide, a plasticizer and a stabilizer are added, and the mixture is uniformly mixed under a certain condition, then is subjected to hot melting and extrusion granulation to prepare the high polymer material with excellent flame-retardant property, so that the defects of flammability, smoke generation and the like of the polypropylene material in the prior art are overcome, and a wider application space is provided for the polypropylene material.
The flame-retardant mechanism of the flame-retardant polymer material of the invention is as follows:
the invention creatively introduces an acid source, a carbon source and a gas source of an expansion type flame retardant system with excellent flame retardant property into the preparation process of a polypropylene material, when a polymer is burnt under heat, a large amount of non-combustible gas can be generated, so that the concentration of combustible gas and oxygen is diluted and the heat is taken away, meanwhile, polysiloxane is a macromolecule taking a silicon-oxygen bond (-Si-O-Si-) as a main chain and silicon atoms are connected with various organic groups, the polysiloxane has good thermal stability, excellent aging resistance and good biocompatibility, when the polysiloxane meets the fire, the polysiloxane can form a silicon dioxide protective layer to reduce the exchange of the heat and the combustible gas and play a role in improving the flame retardant property of a matrix, and the polysiloxane prepared by the method contains a large amount of rich-Si-O-CH2CH3The hydrophobic polysiloxane of the group can carry out surface modification on the ammonium polyphosphate in the melt blending process so as to improve the compatibility of the ammonium polyphosphate and the polypropylene, thereby playing a role in synergy with the ammonium polyphosphate and greatly improving the flame retardance of the polypropylene material.
The invention also introduces graphene into the polymer material, the graphene can not only improve the electromagnetic shielding performance of the polymer composite material, the specific 2D layered structure can also effectively improve the thermal stability and the flame retardant property of the polymer, in the combustion process, the layered graphene has good shielding effect, can isolate an external heat source and combustible substances, meanwhile, the release of toxic gas is reduced, but the strong pi-pi action among the sheet layers enables the graphene to easily agglomerate in a polymer matrix, the flame retardant effect can not be fully exerted, therefore, the reduced graphene oxide is prepared and added into the polypropylene raw material in the form of raw material, through heating and melting, the surface of the reduced graphene oxide is grafted to polypropylene molecules, so that the problem of agglomeration of graphene is avoided, and the compatibility of a matrix is further improved. Meanwhile, when the matrix is heated, silicon dioxide generated by polysiloxane is loaded on the surface of grapheneFormation of GO/SiO2The combination of the microspheres and the polypropylene also obviously improves the flame retardance and the thermal stability of the polymer material.
When the chlorinated paraffin is heated to a certain temperature (usually 120 ℃), the chlorinated paraffin is decomposed slowly and releases hydrogen chloride gas, so that when the high polymer is decomposed, the chlorinated paraffin also starts to be decomposed, and can capture free radicals when the high polymer material is decomposed, thereby delaying or inhibiting the reaction of a combustion chain, and simultaneously the released hydrogen chloride is a flame-retardant gas which can cover the surface of the material and play a role in blocking and diluting the oxygen concentration. Meanwhile, the chlorinated paraffin and the antimony trioxide are compounded for use, the flame retardant effect is obviously improved through the coordination effect, hydrogen chloride and the antimony trioxide react to generate antimony trichloride and antimony oxychloride during combustion in the presence of halide, the antimony oxychloride is heated and endothermically decomposed to continuously generate the antimony trichloride, the generated antimony halides such as the antimony chloride and the like have large relative densities and cover the surface of a polymer, and the antimony oxychloride also has the function of capturing free radicals in a gaseous state, and the reaction of the antimony oxychloride not only inhibits the generation of open fire but also reduces the concentration of HCl, i.e. asphyxiant gas.
The nanometer magnesium hydroxide and the nanometer aluminum hydroxide release crystal water when being heated and decomposed, thereby absorbing a large amount of heat, inhibiting the temperature rise of the polymer material, delaying the heating and decomposition of the polymer material and reducing the combustion speed of the material, diluting the concentration of combustible gas and other substances in a gas-phase combustion area by water vapor generated by decomposition, simultaneously playing a certain physical heat insulation role by magnesium oxide and aluminum oxide generated by decomposition, and being beneficial to forming a surface carbonization layer to prevent the heat and oxygen from entering.
