Background technology
Along with progress of science and technology, macromolecular material has been widely used in fields such as building materials, automobile, electronics and space flight, plays a part very important in the development of the national economy and people's lives.But so the inflammableness or the combustibility of macromolecular material have become very important safety problem, research and development flame retardant type macromolecular material extremely urgent (A.B.Morgan, et al.John Wily ﹠amp mostly; Sons, Inc.Hoboken, NJ, 2007).
Halogen-free flame retardants has become the important research direction of world's flame retardant area owing to its environmental friendliness, efficient and low cigarette.In the halogen-free flame retardants of present Application and Development, have with ammonium polyphosphate (APP), tetramethylolmethane (PER), trimeric cyanamide (MA) to be the expansion type flame retardant of representative and to be the Halogen additive flame retardant of representative with the magnesium hydroxide.And expansible black lead is as a kind of novel inorganic expansion type fire retardant, because addition is few and good flame-retardant effect has been subjected to paying close attention to widely and studying.
Expansible black lead (hereinafter to be referred as EG) is that a kind of chemistry and method of physics utilized has a formed crystalline compounds of carbon hexagonal network two dimensional structure with what intercalator (generally selecting sulfuric acid for use) was inserted into graphite layers.Expansible black lead is when being heated, interlayer inserts the material decomposes or vaporization can produce a large amount of swelling heats, and this swelling heat is far longer than the Van der Waals force of graphite layers, and the junction that makes the sheet interlayer is by the air-flow distending, the graphite layers distance enlarges once more, has formed the vermiform expanded graphite.This swelling heat be come from EG time more than 200 ℃ take place following redox reaction (Clarke R, et al.Advances in Physics, 1984,33:469):

When the polymer composite decomposes that is added with EG or when burning, its surface energy generates one deck " vermiform " expanding layer, and that this expanding layer has is heat insulation, oxygen barrier, press down the function of cigarette and anti-molten drop, finally plays the incendiary effect that stops.For example: EG flame retarded rigid polyurethane foams (RPUF) just demonstrates the excellent fire retardant effect, add the EG of 25wt% in RPUF after, its oxygen index can be brought up to 42vol% (Duquesne S, et al.Polymer Degradable Stability from 22vol%, 2002,77:333).Also find simultaneously, when EG adds in the high molecular polymer matrix, because the multi-disc layer structure that EG is made up of graphite flake, very big gap is arranged between the graphite flake layer, the graphite particle yardstick is bigger in addition, thereby the consistency between graphite and the matrix is relatively poor, causes matrix material machinery performance to reduce.For example: after in RPUF, adding the EG of 20wt%, its compressive strength drops to 8.9Mpa from the 14.4MPa of pure RPUF, modulus of compression also drops to 205.5Mpa (Lei Shi from 258.6Mpa, et al.Polymer-Plastics Technology and Engineering, 2005,44:1323).In order to address this problem, the inventor once proposed technical measures by refinement EG particle (hereinafter to be referred as pEG) and reaches and do not influence or weaken the influence of EG to the matrix mechanical property.But, I had never expected after the size of particles of EG reduces, brought a new problem again, promptly being closed in the gas that is produced when intercalation oxygenant between the graphite flake layer is heated also is not able to do in time the complete distending of graphite flake layer, just fled from out between the lamella, the expanding volume that allows to embody its flame retardant resistance has reduced.Behind the EG and pEG particle that add 10wt% in RPUF respectively, its oxygen index is respectively 32.5vol% and 23.5vol%, flame retardant properties obviously descend (Lei Shi, et al.Polymer International, 2006,55:862).
Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is the deficiency that exists at prior art and a kind of composite flame-retardant agent of nucleocapsid structure is provided, this nucleocapsid structure can make the expanding volume of fire retardant obtain to increase, thereby improves its flame retardant resistance greatly.

The method of the nucleocapsid structure composite flame-retardant agent that preparation provided by the invention is above-mentioned, the processing step and the condition of this method are as follows:
1) first trimeric cyanamide is added, be mixed with the aqueous solution that weight percent concentration is 5-20% in the entry, then with alkali metal hydroxide regulator solution pH value to 8-9, be warming up to 50-70 ℃, stirring and refluxing adds formaldehyde solution behind the 30min at least, back flow reaction 10-15min under the constant temperature, promptly get clear soln, the mol ratio of added trimeric cyanamide and formaldehyde is 1: 3-5.;
2) be that the expansible black lead of 100-200 μ m adds in the entry with median size, under ultrasonic and stirring action, the preparation weight percent concentration is the expansible black lead aqueous suspension of 20-40%, and to make the mass ratio of expansible black lead and trimeric cyanamide be 2.5-8: 1;
3) with the 1st) settled solution that obtains of step pours the 2nd into) in the suspension that obtains, be warming up to 50-70 ℃ of stirring and refluxing earlier at least behind the 30min, again with acid for adjusting pH value to 3-4, stirring reaction 90-150min stops to stir, and leaves standstill 6h at least;
4) with the solution decompression suction filtration that obtains, and be washed with water to filtrate, 50-80 ℃ of oven dry down, promptly obtain expansible black lead-terpolycyantoamino-formaldehyde resin nucleocapsid structure composite flame-retardant agent pressed powder then for neutral.
Used alkali metal hydroxide is sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide in the above method.
Used acid is hydrochloric acid or acetic acid in the above method.
The present invention compared with prior art has the following advantages:
1, because fire retardant provided by the invention is formed nucleocapsid structure type flame retardant particle with the median size that the very thin terpolycyantoamino-formaldehyde resin of one deck coats by 100-200 μ m expansible black lead particle; thereby when this nucleocapsid structure flame retardant particle is heated; because the protection of outer layer copolymer shell; the gas that the pEG particle is produced is not easy to escape out immediately; but after being opened fully, graphite flake layer discharges again; the expanding volume of pEG particle certainly will obtain increasing like this, and flame retardant properties also must obtain bigger improvement.
2, because the outer terpolycyantoamino-formaldehyde resin that coats of fire retardant provided by the invention also is a kind of have high mechanical strength, good compactness and thermoset amino resin of thermostability, thereby it is when improving pEG particle rate of expansion, owing to self possess flame retardant properties, can improve flame retardant effect jointly with the pEG particle.
3, the flame retardant properties with composite flame-retardant agent adding hard polyurethane foams provided by the invention not only obviously is better than the flame retardant properties (see Table 2) of pEG in hard polyurethane foams, and it also can be applied to the fire-retardant of other macromolecular material.
4, can be by preparation method provided by the invention by regulating the mass ratio of pEG and MF, the pEG-MF composite particles that obtains different clad ratios satisfies different requirements.
5, the not only used shell raw material of preparation method provided by the invention is the commercial reagent, and wide material sources are cheap, and technology is simple, and strong operability is easy to realize fairly large production.
