The flame retardant dicyclohexenyl aluminum hypophosphite (ADCP) and nano-silica are added to PA66 to improve flame retardant property of the composite. The flame-retardant property of the composite is tested via oxygen index test, vertical burning test, and cone calorimetry test. Combustion residues are tested using scanning electron microscopy, EDS spectroscopy, and Fourier infrared analysis. Results show that flame-retardant ADCP can effectively promote the formation of a porous carbon layer on the combustion surface of PA66. Nano-silica easily migrates to the material surface to improve the oxidation resistance of the carbon layer and the density of the carbon layer’s structure. It can also effectively prevent heat, flammable gases, and oxygen from entering the flame zone and enhance the flame retardant properties of ADCP.Keywords:nano-silica;ADCP;synergetic flame-retardant;PA66

As one of the most widely utilized polymer coating systems, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is extensively applied in industrial protection fields due to its excellent processability and cost efficiency. To meet rising performance demands in extreme environments, developing PVC coatings with efficient flame retardancy and smoke suppression has become a key research focus. This study developed an innovative BiOCl@Cu-MOF hybrid through an in situ growth strategy. Incorporating the additive at 15 phr increased the limiting oxygen index (LOI) from 23.4 % to 29.4 %. The PVC coating also passed the UL-94 rating test, reaching the highest V-0 level. Cone calorimetry analysis showed a 55.9 % reduction in peak heat release rate, indicating superior flame retardant behavior. In terms of smoke suppression, the coating achieved a 66.7 % decrease in peak smoke production rate. More importantly, the peak carbon monoxide production, a critical lethal factor in fires, was suppressed by 46.9 %. The PVC coating further exhibited 99.9 % antibacterial efficacy against both Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli . This work establishes a pioneering design paradigm for multifunctional protective coatings, offering significant potential in fire-safe building materials, electronics encapsulation, and bio-secure applications.

Developing a solid polymer electrolyte with superior flame retardancy and lithium-ion transportation properties is still a challenge. Herein, an intrinsic silicon/phosphorus co-flame retardant polymer solid electrolyte was prepared by using polyethylene glycol (PEG) co-polymerized with silicon and phosphorus-containing monomers. Due to the synergistic flame-retardant effect of silicon and phosphorus elements, this polymer electrolyte exhibits excellent thermal stability and flame resistance. Moreover, the ionic conductivity of the electrolyte at 25 °C is as high as 2.98 × 10−5S/cm when the mass ratio of LiN(SO2CF3)2(LiTFSI) and the prepared polymer electrolyte is 10:1. What is more, the LiFePO4/Li all-solid-state battery assembled with this solid electrolyte can work stably at a high temperature of 60 °C and exhibits a specific capacity of 129.2 mAh/g at 0.2 C after 100 cycles, providing a promising application prospect for high-safety lithium-ion batteries.Keywords:polymer electrolyte;silicon/phosphorus co-flame retardant;all-solid-state;lithium-ion battery

A novel N–P ammonium salt 1,3-propylene glycol diphosphate ester (APGDPE) flame retardant was tersely synthesized under solvent-free condition to lower cotton fabric fire hazard. The APGDPE structure was characterized by 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR, 31 P NMR and IR spectroscopy. The reactive P = O(NH 4 + ) 2 and PO(OH) 2 groups of APGDPE were successfully grafted into cotton fabric to form P–O–C covalent bond. The limiting oxygen indexes (LOI) of treatment cotton with weight gain rate of 14.7%, 17.2% and 20.8% reach 40–44.5%. After 50 laundering cycles (LCs), the LOI value of treatment cotton with weight gain rate of 20.8% still maintains 27.3%. These results verified that the treated cotton has obtained outstanding flame retardancy and prominent durability. TG test indicates that the thermal stability and thermal oxidative stability of treated cotton are much higher than those of control cotton. TG-IR test displayed that treated cotton released less flammable volatile gases than those of control cotton. Cone calorimetry revealed that the PHRR and THR values of treated cotton decreased by 5.57% and 26.8%, respectively. XRD results suggest that the crystallization zone of cotton fabric before and after treatment hardly change. TG-IR and cone calorimetry tests verified the APGDPE condensation phase mechanism for treated cotton.

Abstract A durable and effective flame retardant (FR) was synthesized in this work by taking advantage of the high reactivity of a cyclodiphosphazane derivative, without the use of formaldehyde. The FR is halogen-free and has the synergistic effect of phosphorus, nitrogen and silicon. Fire resistance of the cotton fabrics is significantly enhanced after the FR treatment. The limiting oxygen indices of cotton treated with 30% FR increase from 18.2 to 52.9% and decrease to 27.2% after 50 launder cycles, demonstrating that the proposed material is a durable FR. The thermo-gravimetric analysis results indicate that compared with the control cotton, the degradation process of the treated cotton occurred at a lower temperature range, the degree of degradation was lower, and the residue is improved. The total heat release and the effective heat combustion values are notably lower for the treated cotton than the control cotton. Furthermore, mechanical property tests demonstrate that the tensile strength is largely retained, while the bending length of the treated cotton partly increases. The surface morphology of the treated cotton is investigated with scanning electron microscopy. Fourier transform infrared and elemental analysis show that the FR was successfully grafted onto the surface of the cotton fabric. 1 H, 13 C, and 31 P nuclear magnetic resonance verify the chemical structure of the FR.

The intumescent flame retardant ethylene–propylene–diene rubber (EPDM) was prepared using intumescent flame retardant (IFR), including ammonium polyphosphate (APP) /pentaerythrotol (PER) and expandable graphite (EG), as the flame retardant agent. The effects of IFR and EG on the flame retardancy, fire behavior, and thermal stability of the EPDM were investigated. The results show that IFR and EG have excellent synergistic flame retardant effects. When the mass ratio of IFR to EG is 3:1 and the total addition content is 40 phr, the limiting oxygen index (LOI) value of the EPDM material (EPDM/IFR/EG) can reach 30.4%, and it can pass a V-0 rating in the vertical combustion (UL-94) test. Meanwhile, during the cone calorimetry test, the heat release rate and total heat release of EPDM/IFR/EG are 69.0% and 33.3% lower than that of the pure EPDM, respectively, and the smoke release of the material also decreases significantly, suggesting that the sample shows good fire safety. In addition, the flame retardant mechanism of IFR and EG is systematically investigated by thermogravimetric analysis/infrared spectrometry (TG-IR), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the results indicate that IFR and EG have only physical interaction. Moreover, the reason why IFR exhibits a poor flame retardant effect in EPDM materials is explained.Keywords:ethylene–propylene–diene rubber;flame retardancy;fire behavior;synergistic flame retardant effect;flame retardant mechanism

Spiro-phosphorus (P)-based reactive flame retardant (SPDPT), a novel reactive flame-retardant epoxy resin (EP) curing agent, was prepared through the one-pot synthesis of triacetonediamine, pentaerythritol, and P oxychloride. The successful preparation of SPDPT was confirmed through Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, 1H NMR spectroscopy, 31P NMR spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. The flame-retardant epoxy thermoset [e.g., EP/4′4-diaminodiphenyl sulfone (DDS)/SPDPT] was prepared by using DDS as the co-curing agent. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) results show that SPDPT can cure EP. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) results show that improve the carbon residue yield of the epoxy thermoset after burning. When the P content was 1.0 wt%, the limiting oxygen index value of the EP/DDS/SPDPT-4 sample was 26.4%, and UL94 reached the V-0 rating. The tensile property of the epoxy thermoset reached 37.20 MPa, the flexural property reached 63.82 MPa, and the impact property reached 21.57 KJ⋅m–2.

Flame retardants have important theoretical research and applied value for lithium-ion battery safety. Microcapsule flame retardants based on ammonium polyphosphate (APP) and aluminum hydroxide (ATH) were synthesized for application in lithium-ion batteries. First, the ATH–APP was prepared by coating a layer of ATH on the surface of the core APP. Then, the ATH–APP was encapsulated by poly(urea-formaldehyde) (PUF) to obtain en-ATH–APP. The structure and flame-retardant property of en-ATH–APP, the influence of en-ATH–APP on the thermal stability of the electrode, and the electrochemical performance of the battery were studied. The results of Fourier transform infrared and scanning electron microscope experiments indicated that APP was coated with ATH and PUF in turn. The results of differential scanning calorimetry and the fire extinguishing test for electrodes manifested that en-ATH–APP had better flame-retardant property than APP because of the synergistic effect between APP and ATH. Moreover, the flame-retardant efficiency of en-ATH–APP was comparable to that of ATH–APP, indicating that the presence of PUF had almost no effect on the flame-retardant property. The results of electrochemical experiments indicated that en-ATH–APP had the best electrochemical compatibility for the battery compared with APP and ATH–APP. The research lights the way to improve inherent safety of lithium-ion batteries by adding en-ATH–APP to the cathode.

Developing eco-friendly durable flame-retardant cotton fabric not only expands its application area, but also caters to the healthy and environmentally friendly concept of consumers. Herein, a reactive P/S/N-containing synergistic flame retardant (PSN) was synthesized to prepare eco-friendly durable flame-retardant cotton fabric through chemical modifying method. Flame-retardant finishing deteriorated the softness, whiteness, tensile strength and air permeability of cotton fabric. PSN conferred outstanding flame retardancy, fire safety and durability to cotton fabric. For treated fabric with the add-on of 14.2%, it achieved an LOI value of 36.5% and extinguished spontaneously even after 50 laundering cycles. Its peak heat release rate, total heat release and fire growth rate index values decreased sharply than those of the control fabric. PSN exhibited high-efficiency flame-retardant behavior, and the synergy between P, S and N elements facilitated the formation of intumescent barrier on the fiber surface during combustion. The hydrolysis of covalent bond and formation of phosphate/sulphonate during laundering both accounted for the decrease in flame retardancy of treated fabric.

Epoxy resins (EP) have great chemical and physical properties, but their poor flame retardant properties have prevented their widespread use. To improve the flame retardancy properties of EP, an active P/N/Si flame retardant (KDC) containing a double bond was successfully synthesized in this work by using a typical aldehyde amine condensation reaction. This flame retardant not only can form a large molecule flame retardant in situ by double bond reaction and increase the tightness with EP matrix, but also has the advantage of P/N/Si three elements synergistic flame retardant, and at the same time play the flame retardant performance of each element, can achieve excellent flame retardant performance and low smoke and toxicity with low addition amount. Subsequently, the performance of the flame retardants was tested. When 7 wt% of KDC was added, the pHRR and TSR of the EP composites were reduced by 51.7% and 29.8%, respectively. More importantly, the addition of KDC inhibited the release of toxic fuels and smoke from EP, where the TSP values of EP/3-KDC were 18.14% below those of neat EP and increased the residual amount of charcoal, while the inhibition of CO and CO 2 release was particularly pronounced with the presence of KDC.

Biodegradable polylactide (PLA) has been widely utilized in people’s daily lives. In order to improve the fire safety of PLA, ammonium polyphosphate (APP) was self-assembled onto the surface of serpentine Ni3Si2O5(OH)4through the electrostatic method, followed by mixing with PLA by melt compounding. The APP-modified serpentine (serpentine@APP) dispersed uniformly in the PLA matrix. Compared with pure PLA, the PLA composite with 2 wt% serpentine@APP reduced the peak heat release rate (pHRR) and total heat release (THR) by 43.9% and 16.3%, respectively. The combination of APP and serpentine exhibited suitable synergistic flame-retardant effects on the fire safety enhancement of PLA. In addition, the dynamical rheological tests revealed that the presence of APP and serpentine could reduce the viscosity of PLA composites. The plasticizing effects of APP and serpentine benefited the processing of PLA. The mechanical properties of PLA/serpentine@APP maintained suitable performance as pure PLA. This study provided a feasible way to enhance the fire safety of PLA without sacrificing its mechanical properties.

A phosphorus‑nitrogen synergistic flame retardant (named POI) was obtained by the chemical reaction between phenylphosphonic acid (PPOA) and polyethyleneimine (PEI), and used to give the flame retardancy of PTCO. The effects of PPOA and POI on various properties of PTCO were investigated. PPOA obviously improved the flame retardancy of PTCO/PPOA, while the breaking force of PTCO/PPOA was greatly reduced. However, the introduction of PEI made the surface of fabrics smoother. PTCO/POI had better flame retardancy than PTCO/PPOA did, and the limiting oxygen index value of PTCO/POI reached to 29.8 %. POI had a good effect on reducing the R max of both cotton and polyester components. The phosphoric acid groups in POI can promote the dehydration and carbonization reactions of PTCO, which protects the inner fabrics, and POI can release incombustible gases such as NH 3 and N 2 during burning, which can dilute the oxygen concentration. The flame-retardant mechanism of PTCO/POI was mainly the condensed phase. At the same time, there were no changes in whiteness and mechanical properties compared with those of PTCO, and it also had antibacterial property . This work provides a simple and effective method to prepare flame-retardant and antibacterial PTCO.
