Abstract:

A linear phosphorus?rich flame retardant (LPRFR) was synthesized by interfacial polymerization, and its chemical structure was characterized by infrared spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Flame retardant polyurethane foams (RPUF) were prepared by compounding with LPRFR and expandable graphite (EG). The RPUF achieved a limiting oxygen index of 26.1 vol% when 10 wt% of LPRFR and 8 wt% of EG were added. The cone calorimeter test results indicated that the addition of LPRFR and EG could significantly reduce the heat release of RPUF and improve the carbonization ability of the matrix. In addition, the microstructure and chemical structure of carbon residue were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy and infrared spectroscopy. The results demonstrated that LPRFR involved in the carbonation reaction during the combustion process, leading to the formation of a high?quality carbon layer with P—O—C and P=O structures, which effectively isolated oxygen and heat. Therefore, LPRFR can be taken as a new flame retardant of polyurethane foams with excellent flame retardant properties.
