Description

Flame-retardant optical fiber and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of optical fibers, in particular to a flame-retardant optical fiber and a preparation method thereof.
Background
The optical fiber is an optical fiber, which is a light conduction tool using the principle of total reflection in a fiber made of glass or plastic. The optical fiber is used as an efficient light transmission medium, and has the advantages of small signal crosstalk, good confidentiality, abundant material sources, no radiation, small size, light weight, strong adaptability, long service life, easy transportation and laying and the like. Therefore, optical fibers have been developed rapidly in the past decades, and not only have important applications in communication, but also play irreplaceable roles in the fields of medicine, laser, sensing and the like.
The core of the optical fiber is made of transparent material, and the periphery of the core is provided with a material with a refractive index slightly lower than that of the core as a cladding. Optical fibers are generally composed of a core, a cladding, a coating, and a jacket. The core and the cladding are the main bodies of the optical fiber and play a decisive role in the propagation of light. The core material has a high refractive index, and the cladding is a material layer closely attached to the core and has a refractive index slightly lower than that of the core material. When the light meets a certain incident condition, the light wave can be transmitted forwards along the fiber core by utilizing the total reflection principle. The coating layer and the sheath mainly play a role in protecting the optical fiber, and also play a role in isolating stray light, improving the mechanical strength of the optical fiber, preventing moisture and the like, and some optical fibers also have more complex structures so as to meet different requirements in use.
The invention patent of application No. 201811553379.3 discloses a flame-retardant sensing optical fiber, which comprises a PMMA core layer, an adhesive layer and a PVC skin layer which are integrally formed; the PVC cortex wraps the PMMA core layer, and the adhesion layer is arranged between the PMMA core layer and the PVC cortex. The fiber core and the outer skin layer of the flame-retardant sensing optical fiber are integrally formed, are not easy to separate, the skin layer is made of flame-retardant PVC materials, the flame-retardant effect is good, the finished product is soft, and the swinging service life is long. The invention also discloses a preparation method of the flame-retardant sensing optical fiber, which is used for three-layer synchronous co-extrusion and continuous production, and is time-saving, labor-saving, stable and safe. However, the sheath layer only uses PVC material for flame retardation of the optical fiber, and although PVC has certain flame retardation performance, the special environmental use requirement of the optical fiber cannot be met.
Disclosure of Invention
Aiming at the defects in the prior art, the invention provides a flame-retardant optical fiber and a preparation method thereof.
In order to solve the technical problems, the invention adopts the technical scheme that:
a flame-retardant optical fiber comprises a fiber core, a cladding, a coating layer and a sheath.
The core and the cladding are made of a quartz material.
The coating layer is polyacrylic resin.
The sheath is composed of the following raw materials: polyvinyl chloride, epoxy resin, dibutoxy ethyl adipate, a stabilizer, a flame retardant and an antioxidant.
Further, the sheath is composed of the following raw materials in parts by weight: 70-85 parts of polyvinyl chloride, 20-30 parts of epoxy resin, 1.5-4 parts of dibutoxyethyl adipate, 2-6 parts of stabilizer, 3-8 parts of flame retardant and 1-3 parts of antioxidant.
The antioxidant is any one of antioxidant 1010, antioxidant 1076 or antioxidant CA.
The stabilizer is any one of epoxidized soybean oil, stearic acid and calcium zinc stabilizer.
The flame retardant is a halogen-free flame retardant.
The preparation method of the halogen-free flame retardant comprises the following steps: adding 1.5-4 parts by weight of 2-methylimidazole into 30-50 parts by weight of methanol, and carrying out ultrasonic treatment to obtain a solution a; adding 1-2 parts by weight of zinc nitrate hexahydrate into 35-50 parts by weight of methanol, and stirring and dispersing to obtain a solution b; and then adding the solution b into the solution a, stirring and reacting at the room temperature at the rotation speed of 500-1000rpm for 18-30h, centrifuging after the reaction is finished, collecting a product, washing and drying to obtain the halogen-free flame retardant.
As a novel nano particle, the metal organic framework material is a porous crystal material containing a metal unit and an organic ligand which are connected through a coordination bond, has the characteristics of larger specific surface area, adjustable structure, excellent thermal stability, special structure and holes and the like, has better compatibility with a high polymer material, and has huge potential in the aspect of fire safety.
Compared with the traditional flame retardant, the metal organic framework material is used as the flame retardant, and the net structure of the metal organic framework material can effectively reduce the flammability of the high polymer material, and has the advantage of environmental friendliness. However, there are some disadvantages, such as low flame retardant efficiency, poor compatibility between the flame retardant and the polymer material matrix, and poor dispersibility.
Further, the preparation method of the halogen-free flame retardant comprises the following steps:
s1, adding 1.5-4 parts by weight of 2-methylimidazole into 30-50 parts by weight of methanol, and carrying out ultrasonic treatment to obtain a solution a; adding 1-2 parts by weight of zinc nitrate hexahydrate into 35-50 parts by weight of methanol, and stirring and dispersing to obtain a solution b; adding the solution b into the solution a, stirring and reacting at the room temperature at the rotating speed of 500-1000rpm for 18-30h, centrifuging after the reaction is finished, collecting a product, washing and drying to obtain a precursor;
s2, dispersing 1-3 parts by weight of the precursor obtained from S1 in 20-30 parts by weight of methanol, adding 10-30 parts by weight of 0.5-2 wt% phytic acid aqueous solution, stirring at the room temperature at the rotation speed of 500-1000rpm for 15-40min, centrifuging after finishing, collecting the product, washing and drying to obtain the halogen-free flame retardant.
Compared with a single metal organic framework material with a net structure, the composite material based on the metal organic framework material has better flame retardant effect in the aspects of reducing the heat release rate of the base material, inhibiting smoke release and the like. The phytic acid is the main storage form of plant seed phosphorus, accounts for 6% of the dry weight of grains and oilseeds, contains six phosphate groups in the structure, and has strong electronegativity and chelating capacity. The phytic acid has a special molecular structure, so that the phytic acid has excellent biocompatibility with materials, when the phytic acid is used as a component of an intumescent flame retardant, the phytic acid can be used as an acid source, and an inositol ring can be used as a carbon source, so that the phytic acid becomes a potential green biomass flame retardant. The phosphate group in the phytic acid can generate chelation reaction with metal cations to generate a stable phytic acid complex which is not easy to hydrolyze, and the excellent synergistic flame retardant effect is displayed.
Further, the preparation method of the halogen-free flame retardant comprises the following steps:
s1, adding 1.5-4 parts by weight of 2-methylimidazole into 30-50 parts by weight of methanol, and carrying out ultrasonic treatment to obtain a solution a; adding 1-2 parts by weight of zinc nitrate hexahydrate into 35-50 parts by weight of methanol, and stirring and dispersing to obtain a solution b; adding the solution b into the solution a, stirring and reacting at the room temperature at the rotating speed of 500-1000rpm for 18-30h, centrifuging after the reaction is finished, collecting a product, washing and drying to obtain a precursor;
s2, dispersing 1-3 parts by weight of the precursor obtained in S1 in 20-30 parts by weight of methanol, adding 10-30 parts by weight of 0.5-2 wt% phytic acid aqueous solution, stirring at the room temperature at the rotation speed of 500-1000rpm for 15-40min, centrifuging after the stirring is finished, collecting a product, washing and drying to obtain a precursor compound;
s3, dispersing 0.5-2 parts by weight of the precursor compound obtained from S2 in 40-60 parts by weight of methanol, adding 1-3 parts by weight of a modifier, stirring at the room temperature at the rotation speed of 800-1500rpm for 10-30min, adjusting the pH to 8-10, adding 8-15 parts by weight of 3-5 wt% tetraethyl orthosilicate methanol solution, continuing stirring and reacting for 12-24h, centrifuging after the reaction is finished, collecting a product, washing and drying to obtain the halogen-free flame retardant.
The nano silicon dioxide is also called white carbon black, has wide raw material sources and a plurality of preparation methods, has the advantages of large specific surface area, high bearing capacity, easy functionalization and the like, and has good insulativity as an inorganic silicon flame retardant, so that the heat conduction of the material can be reduced, the thermal stability of the material can be improved, and the flame retardance and the toughness of the material can be enhanced. Therefore, the invention further adopts the gel-sol theory to grow the nano-silica particles on the surface original positions of the precursor compound, thereby improving the flame retardant property of the high polymer material matrix.
The modifier is cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide and/or sodium octyl sulfate.
The modifier is a mixture of cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide and octyl sodium sulfate, wherein the mass ratio of the cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide to the octyl sodium sulfate is (2-5): 1.
The invention adopts the mixture of cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide and octyl sodium sulfate as a modifier, and the cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide is mainly possibly a cationic surfactant, so that the electrostatic effect of attraction is realized, the polar heads are close to each other to increase the area of an effective head base, and the size of the generated silicon dioxide is different and discontinuous; and the addition of the sodium octyl sulfate as an anionic surfactant can effectively improve the interaction between the micelle and the tetraethyl orthosilicate by reducing the charge density and inserting the alkyl chain of the sodium octyl sulfate into the barrier layer of the hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide, thereby being beneficial to forming the nano silicon dioxide with uniform and continuous size on the surface of the precursor compound and further being beneficial to improving the flame retardant performance of the halogen-free flame retardant.
The phytic acid molecules are grafted on the surface of the metal organic framework material through a chelation reaction, and then the nano silicon dioxide is grown in situ by utilizing a gel-sol method to prepare the halogen-free flame retardant containing three elements of nitrogen, phosphorus and silicon, so that the halogen-free flame retardant can be uniformly dispersed in a high-molecular base material without obvious aggregation, and the flame retardant property of the base material can be remarkably improved through the catalytic conversion of transition metal, the barrier effect and quenching of a carbon layer and the gas-phase dilution effect.
The flame retardant mechanism of the halogen-free flame retardant is as follows: in a condensed phase, the halogen-free flame retardant serves as a heat shielding layer to protect the matrix material, and porous oxide is generated in the combustion process to promote catalytic carbonization; meanwhile, the silicon dioxide can migrate to the surface of the substrate, so that the bottom substrate can be prevented from being further corroded by heat flow in the combustion zone, combustible substances can be inhibited from being released to the combustion zone to participate in combustion reaction, and when the polymer substrate composite material is combusted; and phosphorus-containing oxide generated after decomposition of the phytic acid can promote the growth of compact carbon slag, so that the carbon slag has better effects on insulation and oxygen isolation. In a gas phase, the halogen-free flame retardant mainly plays roles of quenching and diluting, phytic acid is used as a phosphorus-containing natural compound with 28 percent of phosphorus content, PO & free radicals generated in the combustion process can capture H & and HO & free radicals, and the quenching effect is achieved; at the same time, the gas phase product of the metal organic framework material as the precursor also contains NH 3 、N 2 、NO x And the like, which are non-combustible gases, can dilute oxygen and combustible volatiles.
The invention also discloses a preparation method of the flame-retardant optical fiber, which comprises the following steps:
heating an optical fiber preform by using a drawing furnace to draw out a fiber core, sequentially coating and solidifying the cooled and solidified fiber core through a cladding layer and a coating layer, then drawing, coating and extruding a layer of jacket outside the coating layer through an extrusion molding device to form an optical fiber, rolling and detecting to obtain the flame-retardant optical fiber.
The invention has the beneficial effects that:
1. the halogen-free flame retardant prepared by the invention contains three elements of nitrogen, phosphorus and silicon, and is used as a flame retardant in a sheath of a flame-retardant optical fiber, so that the halogen-free flame retardant can be uniformly dispersed in a high-molecular base material without obvious aggregation, and the flame retardant property of the optical fiber sheath can be remarkably improved through the catalytic conversion of transition metal, the barrier action and quenching of a carbon layer and the gas-phase dilution action.
2. The prepared halogen-free flame retardant has large-specific-surface-area particles, and can be used as physical cross-linking points in a high-molecular-material matrix to protect the matrix material from being damaged by external machinery, so that the interfacial interaction between the flame retardant and the matrix is enhanced, and the mechanical performance of an optical fiber sheath is improved.
3. The invention provides a flame-retardant optical fiber and a preparation method thereof, the cost is low, the preparation method is simple, the sheath prepared from polyvinyl chloride, epoxy resin, dibutoxy ethyl adipate, a stabilizer, a flame retardant, an antioxidant and other raw materials has excellent flame-retardant performance and high mechanical performance, can meet the use requirements of the flame-retardant optical fiber in various environments, and has good market prospect.

Test example 1
And (3) evaluating the flame retardant property: all the raw materials of the sheath in the embodiment are mixed, then sent into a double-screw extruder for extrusion and granulation, and then injection molding is carried out by an injection molding machine.
Limiting Oxygen Index (LOI) refers to the minimum oxygen volume concentration required for a substance to ignite, support a specimen to burn stably, or to burn to one-half of the material, in a mixed atmosphere of nitrogen and oxygen. The higher the minimum oxygen concentration required during combustion of the material, i.e. the higher the LOI, the better the flame retardant properties of the material. Reference is made to the national standard GB/T2406.2-2009 part 2 of determination of combustion behaviour by oxygen index method for plastics: room temperature test (RT test). Sample size: the length is 80mm, the width is 10mm, the thickness is 10mm, and the test is carried out by adopting a JF-3 type oxygen index tester of Nanjing Jiangning analytical instrument company.
Vertical burning (UL-94) test: reference is made to GB/T2408 + 2008 'horizontal method and vertical method for measuring plastic combustion performance', wherein a test method B: vertical combustion (V). Sample size: the length is 125mm, the width is 13mm, the thickness is 3mm, and a PX-03-001 vertical combustion tester of the phoenix is adopted for testing.
Each set of samples was tested in parallel five times and the test results averaged.

Example 2 35.6 V-1
Example 3 42.8 V-0
Example 4 42.5 V-0
Example 5 44.9 V-0
From the above results, it can be seen that the flame retardant performance of example 2 is significantly improved compared to example 1, probably because the phytic acid in the composite material based on the phytic acid modified metal organic framework material can generate a chelating reaction with metal cations to generate a stable and non-hydrolyzable phytic acid complex, which exhibits better flame retardant effects in reducing the heat release rate of the matrix material and inhibiting smoke release, etc., compared to the single metal organic framework material having a network structure. Compared with the embodiment 2, the flame retardant performance of the embodiment 3 is further improved, probably because the invention further adopts the gel-sol theory, the nano silica particles are located on the surface original position of the precursor compound, and the nano silica has good insulativity as the inorganic silicon flame retardant, can reduce the heat conduction of the material, improve the thermal stability of the material, and enhance the flame retardance and the toughness of the material, thereby improving the flame retardant performance of the matrix material. The flame retardant performance of the material adopting the composite modifier in example 5 is better than that of the material adopting a single modifier in example 3 or 4, the material mainly adopts cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide as a cationic surfactant, attractive electrostatic effect is achieved, the polar heads are close to each other to increase the effective head base area, and the size of the generated silica is different and discontinuous; and the addition of the sodium octyl sulfate as an anionic surfactant can effectively improve the interaction between the micelle and the tetraethyl orthosilicate by reducing the charge density and inserting the alkyl chain of the sodium octyl sulfate into the barrier layer of the hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide, thereby being beneficial to forming the nano silicon dioxide with uniform and continuous size on the surface of the precursor compound and further being beneficial to improving the flame retardant performance of the halogen-free flame retardant.
