“…The test was performed under a controlled N 2 –oxygen (O 2 ) mixed atmosphere, where the N 2 /O 2 gas mixture was allowed to pass through the burning sample at a carefully controlled rate. The minimum O 2 concentration in N 2 that was just sufficient to keep the sample burning was reported .…”

Recycled poly(ethylene terephthalate) (rPET), obtained mainly from postconsumer bottles, was melt-mixed with either poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) or PBAT plus ultrafine wollastonite (5 lm) at different weight ratios on a twin-screw extruder and then injection-molded. Among the five rPET/PBAT blends (10-50 wt% PBAT) evaluated, the 80/20 wt% rPET/PBAT blend exhibited the highest tensile strength and degree of crystallinity, a slight increase in the tensile strain, and a remarkable increase in the melt flow index, but a lower tensile modulus and thermal stability with respect to the neat rPET. This blend was subsequently filled with four loading levels of wollastonite (10-40 wt%), where the tensile properties (modulus, strain at break, and strength) and thermal stability of the blend were all improved by the addition of wollastonite in a dose-dependent manner. Based on differential scanning calorimetry analysis, the crystallinity of rPET in the rPET/PBAT/wollastonite composites decreased in the presence of wollastonite, accompanied with a noticeable increase in the glass transition, cold crystallization, and crystallization temperatures, but only a slight change in the melting temperature was noted compared with those of the neat 80/20 wt% blend. Moreover, the addition of wollastonite at 30 wt% or higher showed a strong reduction in the melt dripping of the composites during combustion. J. VINYL ADDIT. TECHNOL., 00:000-000, 2015.

This work seeks to address the effect of simoultaneous use of three flame retardants, having three different modes of action, (magnesium hydroxide, expanded and expandable graphite) on the thermal degradation and flame retardancy of poly(ethylene-co-vinyl acetate). Thermal conductivity of samples was meseaured in order to investigate the effect of the use of expanded and expandable graphite on the time-to-ignition and the peak of heat release rate in cone calorimeter test. Thermal shielding performances of chars were studied as well. It was found that there is an optimum ratio between expanded and expandable graphite in order to control thermal conductivity and therefore fire properties. Some correlations were also found between the char thickness and the first peak of heat release rate.

“…Aluminum hydroxide is a green inorganic flame retardant (Sauerwein 2002;Larché et al 2014;Hoffendahl et al 2015), that has a wide range of applications in heat-resistant and flame-retardant paper (Xu et al 2016). Aluminum hydroxide is usually added unevenly to this paper, reducing the paper strength sharply with increasing aluminum hydroxide .…”

Adding Aluminum Hydroxide to Plant Fibers Using In Situ Precipitation to Improve Heat Resistance

2017

Plant fiber is an environmentally friendly, renewable natural resource. It has several excellent properties such as a low density and high softness. These properties make it an especially good raw material for applications such as paper and construction. However, plant fiber has poor resistance to heat, which limits its application in high temperature conditions. Adding aluminum sulfate solution to plant fiber first, and then adding sodium hydroxide solution enables aluminum hydroxide to be distributed uniformly on the surface and interior of a plant fiber. This modification improves the thermo-stability of the plant fiber. Furthermore, compared with the traditional way of filling, using the fiber added aluminum hydroxide by in situ precipitation to make paper, the strength properties of the paper decreased slightly. By combining in situ precipitation with filling, more aluminum hydroxide could be added to the paper while still maintaining good paper strength and better heat resistance.
