Mechanically robust biochar‐modified polystyrene foam with enhanced flame retardancy using halogen‐free additives

Polymer International, EarlyView.
Halogen‐free biocomposite polystyrene foams were fabricated via pilot‐scale supercritical CO2 extrusion using expandable graphite, melamine polyphosphate, biochar, and recycled polymer. The optimized formulation exhibited refined cellular morphology, enhanced flame retardancy (limiting oxygen index of 25%, rapid self‐extinguishing), and improved ...

Engineering Phosphorus‐Modified Flame‐Retardant Thermoplastic Polyurethane via Reactive Melt Processing

Journal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Phosphorus‐modified TPUs are prepared by one‐step, solvent‐free reactive melt processing using phosphate‐ or phosphonate‐containing diols and PEG or PPG soft segments. Fire behavior and mechanical response depend strongly on both chemistries. Peak heat release rate decreases by up to 54%, but reduced tensile strength and V‐2 dripping behavior reveal a ...

In Situ Construction of Phosphorus‐Containing Crosslinked Urethane Network Combined With Ammonium Polyphosphate via Reactive Blending for Enhancing Flame Retardancy and Anti‐Dripping Performance of Polylactic Acid Composites

Safety Science and Technology, EarlyView.
By in situ reaction blending, DOPO‐HQ and THEIC were added to PLA with MDI to construct a phosphorus containing polyurethane network, which significantly improved the flame retardant and anti‐dripping properties of polylactic acid composites. ABSTRACT Polylactic acid (PLA) is highly flammable and prone to severe melt dripping during combustion, which ...

Novel four-in-one intumescent flame retardants for polypropylene: Synthesis, characterization and properties

Advanced Industrial and Engineering Polymer Research
To address the shortcomings of traditional intumescent flame retardants (IFRs), a novel four-in-one IFR (M [APP/NiCo2O4]) was constructed for the first time. It integrates acid source, gas source, carbon source (crosslinking β-CD), and synergistic agent (

Polyaniline as a dual flame retardant and electrostatic dissipative additive in polyethylene nanocomposites

Journal of Vinyl and Additive Technology, Volume 31, Issue 2, Page 339-355, March 2025.
Effecft of co‐doping polyaniline with phosphoric acid and phytic acid on the heat release rate of polyethylene. Abstract Polyolefins, such as polyethylene (PE), are highly flammable and electrically insulative, limiting their applicability. The study explored the flame‐retardancy and electrical conductivity of PE/polyaniline (PE/PANI) nanocomposites ...

Preparation and Characterization of Microencapsulated Ammonium Polyphosphate with Polyurethane Shell and Its Flame Retardance in Polypropylene

Fire
Polypropylene (PP) shows no charring ability in burning due to the lack of hydroxyl functional groups; thus, the flame retardant system needs an additional amount of carbonizing agent.
