Abstract
The wide application of flexible polyurethane foam (FPUF) poses a giant challenge to human society in terms of fire prevention and environmental pollution. To solve this problem, the lignocellulose-based P-N flame retardant (LFPN) has been developed using mechanochemical methods. It was found that FPUF treated using LFPN exhibited good flame retardancy, but suffered from high smoke generation and toxicity. The hollow dodecahedral ZIF-67 has been used for smoke suppression catalysis, but the agglomeration phenomenon makes it inefficient. Hence, in this study, the adhesive properties of polydopamine (PDA) were utilized to assist the in-situ growth of ZIF-67. The results showed that the total smoke release rate of the treated FPUF was reduced by 40.5%. The toxic gases, such as carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen cyanide, etc., also showed the same decreasing trend. What's more, the catalytic effect of ZIF-67 itself and the synergistic effect with LFPN gave FPUF great flame retardant and smoke inhibition properties. This novel FPUF provides a new reference for achieving smoke suppression and toxicity reduction.

Abstract
Nylon-cotton (NC) blend fabrics are widely used in military and industrial applications, but their high flammability still remains a serious problem. In an effort to effectively and quickly impart flame retardancy to the NC fabric, it was treated by simply blade coating with a Cu2+-doped polyelectrolyte complex (CPEC) that consists of ammonium polyphosphate (APP), polyethylenimine (PEI), and copper sulfate. The viscosity of the CPEC can be adjusted by altering the content of CuSO4, which controls the amount of extrinsic and intrinsic ion pairs. By adjusting the proportion and content of PEI, APP, and CuSO4, CPEC suitable for treating the NC fabric was obtained. Only 0.067 wt % Cu2+ was needed to adjust the viscosity and impart self-extinguishing behavior in a vertical burning test. This simple two-step treatment provides a promising technology to protect flammable polymeric substrates with ultralow metal-doped polyelectrolyte complexes.

Abstract
Various inorganic fillers are proved to be desirable synergists to improve the fire resistance of fire-retardant coatings. Herein, a functional filler (ANE) with flame retardant property was prepared by intercalating aluminum diethylphosphinate into microwave expanded vermiculite and grafting sodium stearate on its surface. The structure of ANE was fully characterized by FTIR, XRD, XPS and SEM analyses. Then ANE was applied to melamine modified urea-formaldehyde resin to produce fire-retardant coatings. The fire resistance test, TGA and cone calorimeter test demonstrate that ANE imparts great heat insulation, thermal stability, and flame retardancy to the coatings. Moreover, the introduction of ANE exhibits an excellent synergistic effect on reducing the heat release and smoke emission of the coatings. Specifically, with the addition of 3 wt% ANE, the heat release rate and smoke density grade of the coatings are decreased by 25.24% and 60.32%, respectively, compared to that without ANE. The excellent flame retardancy and smoke suppression performances of the coatings are mainly attributed to the formation of more cross-linking structures in the carbon layers, resulting in a more stable and compact char structure. In addition, the good hydrophobicity of ANE coatings can ensure the durability of flame retardancy.

Abstract
To acheive flexible polyurethane (PU) foam composites with stable electrical conductivity and high flame retardancy involved first coating of graphene oxide (GO) onto PU foam surfaces and then chemically reducing the GO with hydrazine to form reduced GO (RGO). The RGO-coated PU foam is then dipped into a solution containing silicone resin (SiR) and silica nano-particles and cured. The resulting composites (PU-RGO-SiR) show superior flame retardancy, thermal stability and mechanical stability relative to the PU starting materials or PU coated with either RGO or SiR alone. The electrical conductivity of the PU-RGO-SiR composites (as high as 118 S m-1 at room temperature) could almost be retained but with small loss of 9.5% of the original value after 150 cyclic compression. When the samples were subjected to a temperature range from -50 to 400 °C, the electrical conductivity could remain constant at -50 °C, 25 °C, 100 °C, 200 °C, and even at 300 °C and 400 °C; the electrical-conductivity exhibited mild vibration but the vibration range was not beyond 5.6%. Flame retardancy tests show that the limiting oxygen index (LOI) increases from 14.7% for the pure foam to 31.5% for PU-RGO-SiR, and the PU-RGO-SiR composites exhibit a 65% reduction in the peak heat release rate (pHRR) and a 30% reduction in total smoke release (TSR). Thus, stable electrically conductive and highly flame-retardant foam composites have potential applications even in a variety of harsh conditions like high temperature, flame, organic solvents, and external compression.

Abstract
Transition metal (Co or Fe) containing polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane complexes (M@POSS-COOH) were prepared from octa carboxyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (OC-POSS). The structures of OC-POSS and M@POSS-COOH were characterized by FT-IR, NMR, MALDI-TOF MS and XRD. Fe@POSS-COOH and Co@POSS-COOH possess mesoporous structures, whose Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface areas (SBET) are 58.7 m2/g and 46.3 m2/g, respectively. The remaining carboxyl groups of M@POSS-COOH that can react with epoxy groups along with the mesoporous structure increase the network strength of the epoxy resin (EP), and play a significant role in improving the mechanical properties, dielectric properties and thermal properties of the composites. Furthermore, the elemental composition of transition metal and silicon oxygen in the M@POSS-COOH structures significantly increases the amount of char residues of EP composites during the combustion of the material through elements catalysis and surface enrichment, which significantly reduces the toxic smoke density and fire hazards of EP composites. The structural and elemental merits of M@POSS-COOH significantly improve the overall performance of epoxy resin and occupy broad application space.

Abstract
Functionally modified fabrics produced using sustainable techniques are in huge demand in today's world. In the present work, cotton fabric was modified using layer-by-layer two-stage finishing method using a solution of chitosan in citric acid (CS) and sodium lignin sulphonate (SLS) with boric acid (BA), thus granting several performance traits like wrinkle-free, antibacterial, flame retardant, UV protection and antioxidant properties. The finished fabric was evaluated for several textile properties like tensile strength, bending length, crease recovery, whiteness index and functional properties like antibacterial activity, UV protection, flame retardancy and antioxidant properties under standard conditions. The finished cotton showed an increase in CRA, antibacterial activity in the range 70-89%, UPF in the excellent range, much higher LOI values with a decrease in heat release and antioxidant activity of higher than 93%. The novel method of multifunctional finishing of cotton by layer-by-layer technique is explored.

MXene/chitosan nanocoating for flexible polyurethane foam towards remarkable fire hazards reductions. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2020; 381:120952.

Abstract
MXene/chitosan nanocoating for flexible polyurethane foam (PUF) was prepared via layer-by-layer (LbL) approach. MXene (Ti3C2) ultra-thin nanosheets were obtained through etching process of Ti3AlC2 followed by exfoliation. The deposition of MXene/chitosan nanocoating was conducted by alternatingly immersing the PUF into a chitosan solution and a Ti3C2 aqueous dispersion, which resulted in different number of bilayers (BL) ranging from 2, 5 and 8. Owing to the utilization of ultra-thin Ti3C2 nanosheets, the weight gain was only 6.9% for 8 BL coating of PUF, which minimised the unfavourable impact on the intrinsic properties of PUF. The Ti3C2/chitosan coating significantly reduced the flammability and smoke releases of PUF. Compared with unmodified PUF, the 8 BL coating reduced the peak heat release rate by 57.2%, alongside with a 65.5% reduction in the total heat release. The 8 BL coating also showed outstanding smoke suppression ability with total smoke release decreased by 71.1% and peak smoke production rate reduced by 60.3%, respectively. The peak production of CO and CO2 gases also decreased by 70.8% and 68.6%, respectively. Furthermore, an outstanding char formation performance of 37.2 wt.% residue was obtained for 8 BL coated PUF, indicating the excellent barrier and carbonization property of the hybrid coating.

Abstract
Safety issues induced by a flammable organic electrolyte challenge the practical applications of high-specific energy lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Here, we develop a robust bilayer separator by incorporating MoO3 and Al-doped Li6.75La3Zr1.75Ta0.25O12 (LLZTO). The bilayer separator is highly flame-resistive and manages to endure intense fire. Density functional calculations reveal that abundant hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces within the bilayer separator greatly suppress the combustion with interfacial adhesion of MoO3 and LLZTO to poly(vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene). With MoO3 and LLZTO, the graphitized carbon content of the carbon residues is increased, and the formation of molybdenum fluoride (MoFx) and lanthanum fluoride (LaFx) is induced during combustion, thus suppressing heat accumulation. The bilayer separator owns a large ductility (227%) and low thermal shrinkage (5%) after annealing at 160 °C for 4 h. Based on the bilayer separator, Li/LiFePO4 cells deliver a remarkable discharge capacity of 162 mA h/g at 0.5 C with a high capacity retention of 95% after 100 cycles. This work provides a new strategy for achieving safe LIBs.

Abstract
To overcome the flammability and severe dripping of polypropylene (PP), a novel organic-inorganic hybrid K-HBPE@APP (microencapsulated APP by a hyperbranched polyester (HBPE) via silane coupling agent (KH-550)) was obtained and used as a high-efficient flame retardant and smoke suppressant. Herein, HBPE acted as the charring agent for APP. 20 wt% of K-HBPE@APP imparted PP excellent flame retardancy, V-0 rating (UL-94 test) and 82.6% decrease in the peak of heat release rate (PHRR). However, PP with 25 wt% of mechanically mixed APP and HBPE achieved V-1 rating (UL-94 test) and 77.3% decrease in PHRR. That is because the direct contact and sufficient interaction between APP and HBPE gives full play to their synergy. Besides, K-HBPE@APP accelerated the formation of cross-linked POC/SiOSi/SiOC/SiOP/POΦ structures, leading to a strong and compact char layer with a result of dramatic reduction in heat release rate and smoke production. Furthermore, K-HBPE@APP was highly water-resistant and has good compatibility with PP matrix. In particular, the flame-retarded PP had similar tensile strength to pure PP and enhanced impact strength.

Abstract
Manganese dioxide (MnO2), as a promising green material, has recently attracted considerable attention of researchers from various fields. In this work, a facile method was introduced to prepare binary hybrids by fabricating three-dimensional (3D) zinc hydroxystannate (ZHS) cubes on two-dimensional (2D) MnO2 nanosheets towards excellent flame retardancy and toxic effluent elimination of epoxy (EP) resin. Microstructural analysis confirmed that the morphologies and structures of MnO2@ZHS binary hybrids were well characterized, implying the successful synthesis. Additionally, the morphological characterization indicated that MnO2@ZHS binary hybrids could achieve satisfactory interfacial interaction with the EP matrix and be well dispersed in nanocomposites. Cone calorimeter test suggested that MnO2@ZHS binary hybrids effectively suppressed the peak of heat release rate and total heat release of EP nanocomposites, performing better than MnO2 or ZHS alone. Condensed-phase analysis revealed that MnO2@ZHS binary hybrids could promote the char density and graphitization degree of char residues and thereby successfully retard the permeation of oxygen and flammable gases. Moreover, through the analysis of gas phase, it can be concluded that MnO2@ZHS binary hybrids could efficiently suppress the production of toxic gases during the degradation of EP nanocomposites. This work implies that the construction of 2D/3D binary hybrids with an interfacial interaction is an effective way to fabricate high-performance flame retardants for EP.

Abstract
Polymer⁻clay membranes constructed via the layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly, with a nanobrick wall structure, are known to exhibit high flame retardancy. In this work, chitosan⁻montmorillonite nanosheet (CH⁻MMTNS) membranes with different thickness of MMTNS were constructed to suppress the flammability of flexible polyurethane (FPU) foam. It was found that a thinner MMTNS membrane was more efficient in terms of reducing the flammability of the FPU foam. This was because such MMTNS membrane could deposit cheek by jowl and form a dense CH⁻MMTNS membrane on the foam surface, thus greatly limiting the translation of heat, oxygen, and volatile gases. In contrast, a thicker MMTNS constructed a fragmentary CH⁻MMTNS membrane on the coated foam surface, due to its greater gravity and weaker electrostatic attraction of chitosan; thus, the flame retardancy of a thick MMTNS membrane was lower. Moreover, the finding of different deposition behaviors of MMTNS membranes with different thickness may suggest improvements for the application of clay with the LbL assembly technology.

Abstract
In this manuscript, flame-retardant and smoke-suppressant flexible polyurethane foams (FPUFs) were designed and synthesized based on novel liquid phosphorus-containing polyol named as PDEO and expandable graphite (EG). The reactive PDEO can be chemically added into the chain of FPUF, while expandable graphite was blended into the matrix of foam through foaming process. Benefitting from the incorporation of reactive PDEO with a long chain, the resultant FPUF containing EG exhibited considerable mechanical properties. More importantly, the synergistic effect of PDEO and EG can endow FPUF with great flame retardancy, anti-driping performances. Furthermore, the resultant FPUF/EG/PDEO foams exhibit considerable smoke suppression performances. The vertical burning test revealed that the FPUF containing 5 php PDEO and 10 php EG extinguished quickly without dripping and kept the original shape after removing the igniter. The cone calorimeter results demonstrated that the synergistic effect of PDEO and EG can effectively reduce the heat release rate (HRR) and total release rate (THR) of the composite foam. Remarkably, the smoke production release (SPR), total smoke production (TSP), light transmission and specific optical density results indicated significantly smoke-suppressant properties of the composite foam. The mechanism analysis confirmed that the synergistic effect of gas-condensed bi-phase action from PDEO and EG contributed the great flame retardation of the composite foam. This novel FPUF provides a promising strategy for producing the polymer foam with flame retardation, smoke suppression and anti-dripping performances.

Polymers (Basel) 2017; 9:polym9110615. [PMID: 30965918 PMCID: PMC6418642 DOI: 10.3390/polym9110615] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2017] [Revised: 11/08/2017] [Accepted: 11/12/2017] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Two halogen-free inorganic flame retardants, ammonium polyphosphate (APP) and aluminum hydroxide (ATH) were added to wood-flour/polypropylene composites (WPCs) at different APP to ATH mass ratios (APP/ATH ratios), with a constant total loading of 30 wt % (30% by mass). Water soaking tests indicated a low hygroscopicity and/or solubility of ATH as compared to APP. Mechanical property tests showed that the flexural properties were not significantly affected by the APP/ATH ratio, while the impact strength appeared to increase with the increasing ATH/APP ratio. Cone calorimetry indicated that APP appeared to be more effective than ATH in reducing the peak of heat release rate (PHRR). However, when compared to the neat WPCs, total smoke release decreased with the addition of ATH but increased with the addition of APP. Noticeably, WPCs containing the combination of 20 wt % APP and 10 wt % ATH (WPC/APP-20/ATH-10) showed the lowest PHRR and total heat release in all of the formulations. WPCs combustion residues were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy, laser Raman spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Thermogravimetric analysis coupled with FTIR spectroscopy was used to identify the organic volatiles that were produced during the thermal decomposition of WPCs. WPC/APP-20/ATH-10 showed the most compact carbonaceous residue with the highest degree of graphitization.

Abstract
Highly efficient flame retardant polyurethane foams with alginate/clay aerogel coatings were fabricated using a freeze-drying method. The microstructure and the interaction of the samples were characterized with scanning electron and optical microscopy (SEM) and (OM). The results show that PU foam has a porous structure with pore sizes of several hundred microns, and that of aerogel ranges from 10 to 30 μm. The PU foam matrix and the aerogel coatings have strong interactions, due to the infusion of aerogel into the porous structure of the foam and the tension generated during the freeze-drying process. Both the PU foam and the aerogel exhibit good thermal stabilities, with onset decomposition temperatures above 240 °C. Combustion parameters, including LOI, TTI, HRR, TSR, FIGRA, CO, and CO2, all indicate significantly reduced fire risk. Total heat release of all but one of the samples was maintained, indicating that the flame retardant mechanism is to decrease flame spread rate by forming a heat, oxygen, and smoke barrier, rather than by reducing fuel content. This facile and inexpensive post-treatment of PU foam could expand its fire safe applications.

Abstract
In this study, we report the polymer-based graphene foams through combination of bottom-up assembly and simple triaxially buckled structure design. The resulting polymer-based graphene foams not only effectively transfer the functional properties of graphene, but also exhibit novel negative Poisson’s ratio (NPR) behaviors due to the presence of buckled structure. Our results show that after the introduction of buckled structure, improvement in stretchability, toughness, flexibility, energy absorbing ability, hydrophobicity, conductivity, piezoresistive sensitivity and crack resistance could be achieved simultaneously. The combination of mechanical properties, multifunctional performance and unusual deformation behavior would lead to the use of our polymer-based graphene foams for a variety of novel applications in future such as stretchable capacitors or conductors, sensors and oil/water separators and so on.

A Versatile and Scalable Approach toward Robust Superhydrophobic Porous Materials with Excellent Absorbency and Flame Retardancy. Sci Rep 2016; 6:31233.

Abstract
The frequent oil spillages and the industrial discharge of organic contaminants have not only created severe environmental and ecological crises, but also cause a risk of fire and explosion. These environmental and safety issues emphasize the urgent need for materials that possess superior sorption capability and less flammability and thus can effectively and safely clean up the floating oils and water-insoluble organic compounds. Here we present the successful hydrophobic modification of the flame retardant melamine sponge with a commercial fluorosilicone, by using a facile one-step solvent-free approach and demonstrate that the resultant superhydrophobic sponge not only exhibits extraordinary absorption efficiency (including high capacity, superior selectivity, good recyclability, and simple recycling routes), but also retains excellent flame retardancy and robust stability. In comparison to conventional methods, which usually utilize massive organic solvents, the present approach does not involve any complicated process or sophisticated equipment nor generates any waste liquids, and thus is a more labor-saving, environment-friendly, energy-efficient and cost-effective strategy for the hydrophobic modification. Taking into account the critical role of hydrophobic porous materials, especially in the field of environmental remediation, the approach presented herein would be highly valuable for environmental remediation and industrial applications.

Abstract
Nanoindentation and nanoscratch experiments were performed on thin multilayer films manufactured using the layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly technique. These films are known to exhibit high gas barrier, but little is known about their durability, which is an important feature for various packaging applications (e.g., food and electronics). Films were prepared from bilayer and quadlayer sequences, with varying thickness and composition. In an effort to evaluate multilayer thin film surface and mechanical properties, and their resistance to failure and wear, a comprehensive range of experiments were conducted: low and high load indentation, low and high load scratch. Some of the thin films were found to have exceptional mechanical behavior and exhibit excellent scratch resistance. Specifically, nanobrick wall structures, comprising montmorillonite (MMT) clay and polyethylenimine (PEI) bilayers, are the most durable coatings. PEI/MMT films exhibit high hardness, large elastic modulus, high elastic recovery, low friction, low scratch depth, and a smooth surface. When combined with the low oxygen permeability and high optical transmission of these thin films, these excellent mechanical properties make them good candidates for hard coating surface-sensitive substrates, where polymers are required to sustain long-term surface aesthetics and quality.

Abstract
An efficient and multifunctional brucite/3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES)/nickel alginate/APTES (B/A/Nia/A) hybrid flame retardant was fabricated via the layer-by-layer assembly technique with brucite, silane coupling agents, nickel chloride, and sodium alginate. The morphology, chemical composition, and structure of the hybrid flame retardant were characterized. The results confirmed the multilayer structure and indicated that the assembled driving forces were electrostatic interactions, dehydration condensation, hydrogen bonds, and coordination bonds. When used in ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) resin, the multifunctional flame retardant had better performance than brucite in improving the flame retardancy, smoke suppression, and mechanical properties. With 130 phr loading, the multifunctional flame retardant achieved a limiting oxygen index value of 32.3% and a UL 94 V-0 rating, whereas the brucite achieved only 31.1% and a V-2 rating, respectively. The peak heat release rate and total heat released decreased by 41.5% and 8.9%, respectively. The multifunctional flame retardant had an excellent performance in reducing the smoke, CO, and CO2 production rates. These improvements could be attributed to the catalyzing carbonization of nickel compounds and the formation of more protective char layers. Moreover, the elongation at break increased by 97.5%, which benefited from the improved compatibility and the sacrificial bonds in the nickel alginate. The mechanism of flame retardant, smoke suppression, and toughening is proposed.
