The influence of alkali lignin (AL) as a carbonization agent on the thermal degradation and flame retardancy of intumescent flame retardant (IFR) coating was investigated under air condition, with ammonium polyphosphate (APP) as an acid source, and melamine (MEL) as a blowing agent. Compared with a traditional APP/pentaerythritol (PER) /MEL IFR system, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) results showed that APP/AL/MEL IFR system could induce the synergistic effect at a much boarder temperature range, and improve the thermal stabilities of the IFR coating. With the increase of AL loading, cone calorimeter test showed the peak heat release rate of the IFR coatings decreased from 54.86 MJ/m2to 41.06 MJ/m2.
A crosslinking core-shell structured polyacrylate emulsion polymer was synthesized by semi-batch seeded emulsion polymerization with methyl methacrylate and butyl acrylate as main monomers, and pentaerythritol tetraacrylate as a cross-linking agent. Chemical structure and micro morphology structure of the obtained polymer emulsion particles were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR) and transmission electron microscope (TEM), respectively. Influences of cross-linking agent content on water resistance, thermal property, and mechanical property of the emulsion films were investigated. Compared to the film of the unmodified polyacrylate emulsion, water absorption capacity of modified polyacrylate emulsion film with 1.0% PET4A declined to 4.7%, tensile strength at break increased from 1.35MPa to 3.03MPa, and elongation at break increased to 171.7%; 5%,10% and 50% weight loss temperature of the modified emulsion increased 17°C,32°C and 45°C, respectively.
A series of cross-linking core-shell structured poly (n-butyl acrylate) /poly (methyl methacrylate-co-styrene) emulsion polymer were prepared by semi-batch seeded emulsion polymerization with pentaerythritol triacrylate (PETA) as a cross-linking agent. The emulsion polymers were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR) and transmission electron microscope (TEM), respectively. The influences of cross-linking agent content on the water resistance and mechanical properties of the emulsion films were investigated. The films prepared by the emulsion polymer with the cross-linking agent exhibited excellent water resistance, and mechanical properties (tensile strength and flexility), resulting from the cross-linking structure of shell segments compared with that prepared without cross-linking agent. The film of the emulsion polymer with 1.0wt% cross-linking agent exhibited better comprehensive performance.
A titanate coupling agent, TM-27, was used in surface modification of light-storing pigment to improve its compatibility and stability with the organic system. The surface characteristics of light-storing pigments were reflected by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and scanning electron micrograph (SEM). The result showed that the titanate coupling agent molecular formed a thin layer and binded strongly on the surface of pigments. The modification effect was evaluated on the basis of turbidity and by plotting the afterglow decay curve. The application of light-storing pigment in the printing ink system was also examined. When the dosage of titanate coupling agent was 1.5%, the viscosity of printing ink reached the lowest point. The subsidence rate was reduced from 0.8202 ml/h to 0.5821 ml/h. These results indicated that the modified light-storing pigment had better compatibility and stability with the organic system, and the surface modification did not affect the luminescence properties.
A series of fluorine-modified acrylate resins used in water-based ink were synthesized by emulsifier-free semicontinuous seed emulsion polymerization with Hexafluorobutyl acrylate (G01) as a functional monomer and 2-Acrylamido-2-methyl propane sulfonic acid (AMPS) as a reactive emulsifier. The resins were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra, particle size and distribution (PSD) analysis, contact angle (CA), mechanical stability, freeze-thaw stability and electrolyte stability, respectively. The fluorine-modified acrylate resin with 15% G01 and 3% AMPS had excellent water resistance, stabilities and narrow particle size distribution that it could be applied to the field of water-based ink.
