Improving Fire Safety of Epoxy Resin with Alkyl Glycoside Modified CuAl-Layered Double Hydroxide.
JOURNAL OF NANOSCIENCE AND NANOTECHNOLOGY(2019)
Abstract
To further improve carbonization efficiency of epoxy resin (EP) composites to form compact protective layers during combustion process, alkyl glycoside modified CuAl layered double hydroxide (CuAl-(APG)LDH) was designed and synthesized via one-step coprecipitation method, which was incorporated into EP matrix for preparing EP/CuAl-(APG)LDH nanocomposites. The results of XRD and TEM confirmed that EP nanocomposites with low incorporation of CuAl-(APG)LDH were exfoliated structures. The TGA results showed that the incorporation of CuAl-(APG)LDH remarkably increased the residues at 700 degrees C. The improved flame retardancy of EP/CuAl-(APG)LDH nanocomposites was proved by cone calorimeter test. The peak heat release rate, total heat release, peak smoke production rate and total smoke production value of EP/4 wt%CuAl-(APG)LDH nanocomposites dramatically decreased, which were attributed to the formation of hard and condensed residual layers on the surface of EP/CuAl-(APG)LDH nanocomposites.
