Description

Preparation method of P-N type flame retardant based on DOPO
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of flame retardance, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a P-N type flame retardant based on DOPO.
Background
Polymer materials have been widely used due to their excellent properties, but they have flammability, burn rapidly, generate rich smoke and toxic gases, and severely limit their further use in safety. For improving the flame retardant property of the high polymer material, adding the flame retardant is the most feasible modification method; therefore, additive-type flame retardants are widely used. However, conventional halogenated flame retardants are prohibited from use due to harmful byproducts generated during combustion. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an environmentally friendly, chemically stable flame retardant.
The phosphorus-nitrogen flame retardant is an environment-friendly flame retardant, and can concentrate the advantages of phosphorus flame retardants and nitrogen flame retardants: on one hand, the phosphorus flame retardant can generate acidic substances such as phosphoric acid or polyphosphoric acid and the like during pyrolysis to promote the degradation of polymers to form a carbon layer, and meanwhile PO. and PO can be generated during the combustion process of the flame retardant2Phosphorus-containing free radicals can quench free radicals generated by pyrolysis of the polymer, and can be crosslinked with a polymer matrix to form a polymer network with good thermal stability; on the other hand, nitrogen-containing gases such as ammonia gas and nitrogen oxides can be released in the combustion process of the nitrogen flame retardant, and the gases are released from the polymer matrix and can play a certain role in cooling and diluting combustible gas, so that the nitrogen oxides are formed to consume oxygen to inhibit combustion; meanwhile, the escape of gas generated during combustion of the nitrogen-containing flame retardant can promote the polymer to form holes, so that a porous heat-insulating carbon layer is formed. However, most of the conventional phosphorus-nitrogen flame retardants are small-molecule additive type flame retardants, and since the additive type flame retardants lack reactive groups and are mostly small molecules, they are likely to migrate during use. Therefore, from the perspective of molecular design of the flame retardant, a multielement synergistic flame retardant with macromolecules having reactive groups is designed, and the flame retardant has great application potential.
