Graphene hybrid particle flame retardant and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to a graphene hybrid particle flame retardant and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Graphene is a two-dimensional carbon nanoparticle, has a unique structure and good heat conduction and flame retardant properties, and in recent years, graphene is gradually developed into a novel flame retardant system, so that revolutionary influence is brought to the development of flame retardants. Compared with the traditional flame retardant material, a small amount of graphene can obviously reduce the maximum decomposition rate of the high polymer material, delay the combustion process and reduce the smoke generation rate, thereby improving the flame retardant property of the material. However, when graphene is used as a single flame retardant system, the flame retardant efficiency is not high, and therefore, in order to improve the flame retardant efficiency of graphene, graphene and other flame retardants need to be compounded to realize synergistic flame retardant. At present, researchers compound graphene with a plurality of flame retardant materials, such as nanoclay, magnesium hydroxide, hydrotalcite, ammonium polyphosphate, transition metal oxide, an intumescent flame retardant system and the like, to prepare a hybrid flame retardant system, and researches show that most hybrid flame retardant systems show a synergistic effect and have high-efficiency flame retardant performance. The method for compounding the graphene and other flame retardants mainly comprises two methods of chemical bond grafting and physical blending, wherein the chemical bond grafting can realize molecular-level compounding and has high stability, but the process is complex, oxygen-containing groups must be introduced to destroy the integrity of carbon nanoparticles, and the physical blending method is simple to operate, but effective compounding is difficult to realize and the structure is not adjustable. Therefore, it is important to select a flame-retardant system having a synergistic effect with graphene and realize effective compounding of the flame-retardant system.
Recently, application research of polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) and ionic liquid in composite materials is carried out, and the ionic liquid with a regular structure can be prepared by utilizing the POSS structure, has better thermal stability and flame retardance, can reduce heat release during polymer combustion and promote generation of a high-oxidation-resistance cracking carbon layer. In order to further exert the flame retardant effect of POSS, ionic liquid and graphene, a novel hybrid graphene flame retardant is prepared by utilizing pi-pi and pi-cation interaction between POSS-based ionic liquid and graphene, the flame retardant has high stability and structural controllability, and can realize efficient flame retardance of a system, and the flame retardant is not reported at home and abroad.
