Thermal Stability of Polypropylene-Based Wood Plastic Composites by The Addition of Ammonium Polyphosphate

Abstract: In order to improve the thermal stability of wood plastic composites (WPC), thermal degradation behavior of WPC in this study was investigated by the addition of wood flour and fire retardant after hybridization of wood flour and ammonium polyphosphate (APP) into polypropylene (PP) matrix. Thermal degradation behavior of all formulations was analyzed with thermogravimetric analyzer under nitrogen environment at heating rate of 10℃/min. As the thermal degradation temperature of wood flour is lower than that of … Show more

“…In general, all the composites were thermally stable up to 200 °C. From the TGA curves, it is evident that hemicellulose started its degradation reactions followed by the more thermally stable cellulose domains at 250 °C [ 55 , 56 , 57 ]. Degradation of cellulose and hemicellulose involved complex reactions comprised in the temperature range of 250–370 °C.…”

“…The weight reduction in the range of 300 • C to 400 • C was due to cellulose degradation, and lignin decomposition occurred in the wide temperature range from 200 • C to 600 • C. It was clearly observed that there were two stages of weight loss occurred for the RPW and its composites. The first stage of weight loss occurred, corresponding to the charring of the hemicellulose, cellulose, and lignin contents of the wood particles [40]. The second stage of weight reduction happened due to the breakdown of polymers [41].…”

“…40,41 The second stage was the major decomposition stage, which occurred between 260°C and 500°C and led to the most significant mass loss. 42 As a result of the breaking and recombination of cellulose molecules caused by thermal depolymerization, a shoulder peak containing the central peak and a side peak simultaneously is apparent. 43 The third stage following thermal degradation as depicted in second stage was residue of decomposition.…”
